After being featured on a Saturday at home, the Washington Commanders remain in the nation’s capital for yet another NFC East rivalry. Of course, the Dallas Cowboys are no strangers to prime time games from Thanksgiving Day and back-to-back Monday Night Football games. Regardless, we’re here with our best Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions for Christmas Day!

For this first game of the holiday, we’ve also added to our top Cowboys vs. Commanders picks for Christmas with a guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus! 

Cowboys vs. Commanders Predictions for Christmas Day, NFL Week 17

The Cowboys and Commanders both had the luxury of being at home for their most recent games, and Washington will at least be on quite as much of a short week, as they were in action on Saturday. It was their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles that officially eliminated Dallas from playoff contention.

As we’re sure that you’ve seen 1000 times, given how much it’s been talked about for years now, the Eagles will be the first team to be repeat NFC East winners in 20 years. So, while our Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions won’t be deciding a division winner by any means, we can still find value in the betting markets.

We also have to remember that these teams met back in Week 7, which was a smooth 44-22 victory for Dallas at home. It was one of the games in which Jayden Daniels was injured, and we also know that he is done for the remainder of this season. As if that wasn’t bad enough, we saw Marcus Mariota knocked out of Saturday’s loss for Washington.

Their QB situation is just one of the many factors that we have to factor in when coming up with the best bet from our Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions and help add to our NFL expert picks.

 

 

 

Cowboys vs. Commanders Best Bet: Dallas Team Total over 29.5 Points (-115 at Novig)

With the way that we’re going to attack this NFC East rivalry, we aren’t going to be overly concerned with the answer to the question, Will Marcus Mariota play on Christmas? That’s because we love Dallas putting up points. Sure, you could argue that Washington being more competitive will help enhance that, but in this rivalry, they won’t be holding back regardless.

You already saw that Dallas put up 44 points to help those who took this pick with their Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions, and we expect more of the same. In terms of a more specific way that we expect them to do so, we’ve been picking on Washington’s pass defense all season. Well, Dak Prescott leading the entire NFL in passing yards sounds good to us.

So too does the WR duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Similarly, while the Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champs, their offense has been doubted all season; they put up 29 points on Washington before benching Jalen Hurts to avoid any meaningless injury. Sure, Dallas doesn’t have anything to play for beyond fans’ Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions.

However, this is a Jerry Jones team that gets virtually all the prime time and holiday games, and they always try to show out as America’s team, not to mention play incentives. Therefore, we love this isolated yet simple approach; the best bet from our Cowboys vs. Commanders predictions is Dallas’ team total over 29.5 points (-115 at Novig).

As mentioned, we saw Marcus Mariota leave Saturday’s loss early and not return, so we’ll start in Washington when it comes to our Cowboys vs. Commanders injury updates. In just that loss to the Eagles, we also saw Jer’Zhan Newton, Sam Cosmi, and Brandon Coleman also exit early.

As for Dallas in terms of Cowboys vs. Commanders injury updates, we saw a big name leave Sunday’s loss due to a concussion - DeMarvion Overshown. Quinnen Williams was already out for the same reason, and after scoring a TD on Sunday, Ryan Flournoy also missed the remainder of the game.
