The NFC East standings are wide open right now, and whoever wins Sunday’s 1:00 PM ET game between the Dallas Cowboys (5-4) and the Washington Redskins (3-6) will be taking a huge step in the right direction.
The New York Giants currently lead the standings at 6-3, but they have to be feeling some heat from the Cowboys with Dallas on a 2-game winning streak.
Washington will be at home for this NFL rivalry game, but the Cowboys are the 7.5-point favorite.
The total here sits at 41.5 and has been bet up from 41, while the opener for the spread was Dallas -6.
Despite being just a tick in back of the Giants in the standings, the Cowboys have amassed just a 1-3 record away from Dallas this year.
Washington is 2-2 at home at FedEx Field, but they’ve dropped their last 2 games there and are on a 5-game losing streak after looking impressive earlier in the season.
The Redskins haven’t covered a point spread in those 5 games, while 4 of the 5 have gone under the total.
Dallas has lost on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, and New York Jets, but did hand the San Francisco 49ers their only loss of the season in a 27-24 overtime victory.
The Cowboys have gone under the total in 4 of their last 5 while covering the point spread in 3 of those games.
This is a great game to do some line shopping on with the sportsbooks split on both the side and the total.
The Las Vegas Hilton and Stations Casino have Dallas at just -7, while Leroy’s has the total the highest at 42.
Money line bettors are looking at Dallas -360 and Washington +300.
