Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys Predictions & Picks

Dallas are tipped to cover as they rebound from a shocking loss on opening night.

The Cowboys defense is still a huge question mark, but the offense is better than it showed last week, and Dak Prescott & Co. are more than capable of pouncing on a poor Commanders ‘D’.

  • Dallas Cowboys are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings
  • Dallas Cowboys are 8-2-0 ATS in the last 10 meetings
  • Washington Commanders are 3-7 in their previous 10 road games
  • The Over cashed in both teams’ season opener

Head To Head

  • Dallas Cowboys lead the all-time series 83-49-2
  • Dallas Cowboys won 30-23 when the two teams last met in December 2025

Washington Commanders Form

Washington head out on the road to face a division rival for the second week in a row, and they do it on the back of a season-opening loss.

The Commanders kicked off the campaign with a visit to Philadelphia and suffered a 24-22 defeat at the hands of the Eagles.

They offense struggled through the first three quarters, producing just two scoring drives, and that rendered late touchdown grab from Antonio Williams mere consolation.

Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels finished the games 18/34 for just 164 yards and two touchdowns.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown, while offseason addition Stefon Diggs made four catches off nine targets for 55 yards and a score.

Dallas Cowboys Form

Dallas go into their home opener having suffered a shock 28-20 defeat at the New York Giants in Week 1.

The Cowboys had been expected to come out on top in this big early division game, but the defense proved to be their Achilles heel, just like it was in 2025.

They gave up a touchdown in each quarter and allowed 394 total yards in the loss at MetLife Stadium.

Dallas’ offense had some teething problems too as Dak Prescott threw for only 175 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

Javonte Williams was the leading rusher with just 41 yards and a score off 12 carries, but CeeDee Lamb led the receivers with 44 yards and a TD.

Verdict

Our Verdict
Dallas’ offense hardly fired in Week 1, but we expect to see improvements in the home opener and that will be crucial.

Both teams will likely have to lean on their offense here, and we are taking a Cowboys team with the better quarterback and the better weapons.
