Beautiful AT&T Stadium will play host to a Sunday afternoon NFL clash between the Washington Commanders and the Dallas Cowboys. Get ready for all the football action with our NFL Picks. The Commanders (11-5) have clinched their first playoff spot since 2020 and are in search of their first postseason victory in almost 20 years. On Sunday night, Washington stormed back from a ten-point halftime deficit to earn a 30-24 overtime victory versus Atlanta. 

Washington QB Jayden Daniels willed his team to victory with 227 passing yards and 127 rushing yards. Daniels became the first QB in NFL history to throw for two touchdowns, 200 plus passing yards, and 65 plus rushing yards in three consecutive games. Olamide Zaccheaus hauled in eight receptions for 85 yards and a score. 

The Dallas Cowboys have dropped six of their eight home games and have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL. The Cowboys (7-9) have been eliminated from postseason contention and are giving up a shade below 28 points per game. On Sunday, Dallas was outscored by 34 points over the final three quarters of an ugly 41-7 road loss against Philadelphia. 

Dallas QB Cooper Rush continued his ineffective play in place of injured QB Dak Prescott and was picked off twice. Rico Dowdle rushed for a team-high 104 yards on 23 carries for the Cowboys, who turned the ball over four times on the afternoon. 

Dallas WR CeeDee Lamb has landed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury and will not play in this contest. With a victory in this game, the Commanders would clinch the sixth seed and head coach Dan Quinn will play his starters. Take Washington to win and cover on the road. Final Score Prediction, Washington Commanders win 27-17.
