— Sunday, December 26th Washington Football Team @ Dallas Cowboys

This NFC East showdown is guaranteed to be an entertaining one. The Washington Football Team will take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon.

Washington is coming off of two straight losses, both of which were to division rivals. When they last played the Cowboys, Washington lost 27-20. Should we expect a repeat of the same outcome on Sunday?

The Dallas Cowboys need a win here to claim the NFC East and a spot in the playoffs. They've already beaten Washington once, so who's to say they can't do it again?

The question we have is whether or not they'll be able to cover the large spread. Winning the game is one thing, but covering a 10.5-point spread is different. Let's see what each team brings to the contest.

Washington Football Team: Big implications for Washington

It's very unlikely that the Washington Football Team makes the playoffs this season. However, a win over the Cowboys would go a long way. It would also prevent the Cowboys from clinching the division.

Washington won't be able to clinch it themselves, but at least they'll stop the Cowboys. The question is, how do you go about stopping one of the most efficient offenses?

For Washington, the key here is putting pressure on Dak Prescott. If they can reduce his mobility in the pocket, they can slow down the Cowboys' offense. On the offensive side of the ball, Washington needs to be a lot better at capitalizing on scoring opportunities.

Each score will only help them compete in this one. Missing a scoring chance could create a snowball effect.

Dallas Cowboys: Can you trust the Cowboys against the spread

We know that the Cowboys have an incredible offense and can put up a lot of points. They rank second in scoring in the NFL, averaging 28.6 points per game. The good news is you can also trust their defense to shut down opponents as well.

Ranking seventh in the NFL, the Cowboys only allow 20.9 points per game. This is definitely a defense that can cover a large spread.

The Cowboys' defense knows how to create turnovers. With Trevon Diggs and Micah Parsons, they're nearly guaranteed to have one a game. The offense can turn those turnovers into points, which inevitably creates a larger lead.

The Washington Football Team doesn't quite have enough talent on either side of the ball to compete here. Making this one a much easier pick.

Our pick for the Washington Football Team at Dallas Cowboys

For starters, Washington just lost to the Eagles by ten points. The Dallas Cowboys have a much better team than the Philadelphia Eagles. In their last meeting, Washington played at home and still lost by seven.

This time, they have to head to the Cowboys, who have only lost two games at home. This Sunday night game is definitely going in favor of the Cowboys.

Dallas has been incredible against the spread this season with an 11-3 record. Their record at home against the spread is an impressive 4-2.

Don't sweat the large spread in this one; take the Cowboys to cover and the total to go under. The reason for taking the under is that Washington won't put up very many points here.
