The ultimate week of the NFL season is all the time tough for bettors to navigate. Some teams are playing for playoff positioning, some have their playoff seeds determined and are resting players and others are only playing since the schedule says they need to.
The Cowboys qualify as a team still playing for something, while the Commanders are only ending out the season. The Cowboys can still win the NFC East with a victory and an Eagles loss to the Giants. Each games are being played at the identical time, so Dallas can have to go all out against the foundering Commanders.
It feels as if Washington starts a recent quarterback every week, and the Commanders will trot out rookie Sam Howell on Sunday. I all the time laugh when a team starts a rookie quarterback who hasn’t played all season in the ultimate game “to see what he’s got.” That’s not much of an audition.

Howell has never taken a snap within the NFL, and head coach Ron Rivera is sort of feeding him to the wolves against a Cowboys defense that ranks third in sacks with 51 and first in forcing turnovers with 32 takeaways.
The Cowboys’ defense has been exploited at times this season, but this looks like a situation during which Micah Parsons and company can feast. Dallas remains to be alive for the No. 1 seed within the NFC as well, but would want each Philadelphia and San Francisco to lose. Though that scenario isn’t likely, search for the Cowboys to be motivated with the division title still undecided.
