The Cowboys need a win over Washington and a Philadelphia Eagles loss to the New York Giants in order to make the postseason.
Washington has lost three in a row and seven of its last nine games, but has gone 5-4 ATS in that span.
The Cowboys are just 1-4 in their last five games after starting the season 6-4.
Dallas is 12-4 in its last 16 games at home.
Washington has only covered the spread once in its last five games against Dallas.
The Redskins are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games against the NFC East.

Redskins at Cowboys: Key injuries

Redskins: QB Dwayne Haskins (ankle) has been ruled out. QB Case Keenum will start in his place. OT Morgan Moses (knee) is questionable.

Cowboys: QB Dak Prescott (shoulder), LT Tyron Smith (eye), DE DeMarcus Lawrence (shoulder) and LB Sean Lee (pectoral/thigh) did not practice Wednesday. DE/DT Michael Bennett (foot), S Jeff Heath (shoulder), P Chris Jones (abdomen) and LB Joe Thomas (knee) were limited in practice.

Prediction

Cowboys 27, Redskins 20

Moneyline (?)

The Cowboys (-500) are going to win, but I can’t justify suggesting to someone to make a wager that only profits $1 on every $5 bet. Dallas is desperate for a win, hoping to keep its playoff chances alive. The Redskins (+380) have nothing to play for and will keep their banged-up players out of harm’s way.

Against the Spread (?)

The Cowboys are only 1-3 ATS in their last four games and their blowout win over the Los Angeles Rams looks more like an outlier than an indicator of their actual ability. They’re still favored by 10.5 points over the Redskins, which is too large a number for me to bite on.

Take the REDSKINS (+10.5, -115) to cover the spread and keep the game relatively close.

Over/Under (?)

The number is 44.5 (Over -106, Under -115). The total has gone over in 12 of the Cowboys’ last 18 games, and four of the last five at home against the Redskins.

Take the OVER (-106) with Dallas’ offense getting things kicked into gear after a flop in Philly.

NFL Prop Bet Payday: Week 16

Analyzing key Week 16 NFL prop bets that seem poised for a pay day, featuring props around Leonard Fournette, Drew Brees and Joe Mixon.

With the holiday season upon us, we’re awaiting presents and family. For those procrastinators looking for a little extra holiday cash, here are three holiday prop bets we see having the potential to pay off big. Consider these bets for Week 16. Odds last updated Saturday at 3:10 p.m. ET.

A Lenny for Your Thoughts

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette has transformed his game as a three-down back, shattering his career total with 73 receptions. But, his rushing numbers have suffered in recent weeks. He has 15 or fewer carries in five of the last six games and averaged 3.6 yards a carry in each of those games. It doesn’t bode well, but the Jags have played their best when they feed Fournette and the Atlanta Falcons defense has struggled to stop the run all season. With a reasonable number of 63.5 rushing yards (-118 on both the Over and Under), all Fournette needs is a couple of chunk plays to hit the Over. Take the OVER 63.5 (-118) and run, Lenny, run!

New to sports betting? Every $1.18 wagered will profit $1 if Fournette finishes with 64 rushing yards or more.

Cool Brees Blowing

The New Orleans Saints and QB Drew Brees have been rolling up huge pass numbers in recent weeks, but they’re a different team on the road and the Tennessee Titans are a solid, if unheralded, defense. Brees’ passing yardage number is fat at 285.5 (-118 on both sides). Nobody has posted more 300-yard games than Brees, but they will likely play Titans style football with pounding Derrick Henry at them 20 times if his hamstring holds up as they continue their playoff push. Brees will approach 285 yards, but we don’t think he’ll get all the way there. Take the UNDER 285.5 (-118).

Say It Ain’t So, Joe

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon was almost unplayable in fantasy football circles the first three months of the season. But, he has been one of the hottest running backs in the league over the last month, having 18 or more carries in five of his last six games, topping 79 rushing yards in five of the last six and being the focus of the offense. Our friends at The Huddle are projecting Mixon to be the top scoring running back in all of fantasy football this week, rushing for 120 yards and two touchdowns against a weak Miami Dolphins defense. We’re jumping on the OVER 83.5 (-118) rushing yards for Mixon and cheering against Miami’s defense – which is pretty easy to do.

The Lions are 9-5 O/U on the season.
Denver has played to the Under in 17 of its last 23 games and 10 of its last 13 home games.
When Detroit is supposed to lose, it usually does. The Lions are 1-8 against the spread (ATS) in its last nine games and 0-7 against the moneyline in the last seven.
Denver is 4-2 at home ATS.
Detroit is a stiff on the road, going 1-5-1 straight up and 2-5 ATS away from home.
The Broncos are 1-5 against the moneyline in their last six games against teams from the NFC North.

Lions at Broncos: Key injuries

Broncos: The offensive line is thin with OT Ja’Wuan James (knee) and guard Ron Leary (concussion) out, while G Dalton Risner (illness) is questionable after missing two of three practice sessions, including Friday’s. TE Noah Fant (shoulder) and DEs DeMarcus Walker (ankle) and Dre’Mont Jones (ankle) are also questionable.
