Monday night’s game between the Washington Redskins (2-0) and the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) should be a fun one, and we’ll take a second to look at the odds in this 8:30 PM ET clash.
Currently the home-team Cowboys are favored by 3 on the point spread, while the total is at 45.
Close to 60% of tracked NFL bettors are going with the underdog Redskins, and the odds have shifted down quite a bit from the opener of -5.5.
These NFC East squads are no stranger to each other, and the underdog has been a wagering winner in 21 of the last 27 meetings.
The Redskins have covered the point spread in 7 of the last 9 against Dallas, including both games during last season.
The Cowboys won 33-30 at home the last time these teams met up, while Washington grabbed a 13-7 home win earlier in the season.
The under has been a winner in 4 of the last 5.
Although -3 is the common number at online sportsbooks, those wagering in Las Vegas are more likely to see the spread at -3.5.
Most Nevada sportsbooks have the total at 45, but bettors who are looking to take the under will want to put in their bets at the Wynn where the line is at 45.5.
Washington started their 2011 season with a 28-14 upset over the New York Giants before taking out the Arizona Cardinals 22-21 last week.
Dallas lost a 24-27 road game against the New York Jets during week 1 before besting the San Francisco 49ers 27-24 in an overtime thriller during week 2.
The Cowboys have gone over the betting total in both games.
