The script is simple enough to follow. The Dallas Cowboys need to beat the Washington Commanders in Week 18 to win the NFC East and earn a home playoff game.
But as football bettors saw last week when Philadelphia fell to Arizona — gift-wrapping the division crown for the Cowboys — things don’t always go according to plan.
Toss in a double-digit spread set by the NFL odds, and Dallas backers have some hard decisions to make in the final week of the regular season.
I run down this sizable spread and Over/Under total and give my free NFL picks for the Cowboys vs. Commanders on Sunday, January 7.
