Washington vs. Cowboys: Experts fairly split when picking a winner

When it comes to picking the winner between Dallas and Washington this weekend, experts are fairly split on the outcome.

The betting lines for this game between the Washington Football Team and Dallas Cowboys have it projected to be a close game, with the home team favored by a single point. When you look at the rosters, both teams are working with a backup quarterback who has shown flashes in his respective career, yet there’s little confidence he can lead them to much success this season. A new head coach is in charge of both franchises, and a bumpy start has been felt by all.

So who is really going to have the upper-hand on Sunday in this heated rivalry? According to NFL Pick Watch, a majority of the experts are leaning towards the Cowboys to steal this game on the road and keep hold of their lead in the NFC East, with two-thirds of people riding with Dallas thus far in the week. NFL Pick Watch aggregates picks from all over the internet to make it easy to see which way the experts are leaning.

Coming off of numerous straight weeks where Washington was unanimously picked to lose, there might be some solace in the fact that 33% of NFL experts are picking them to win. Of course, none of this matters until the teams take the field, but it’s at least something to watch going forward.
