NFL Sunday Night Football Betting - Cowboys at Redskins Odds

The Dallas Cowboys will try and avoid a letdown on Sunday night football as they face the Washington Redskins at 8:20pm EST on NBC. The Cowboys are coming off their biggest win of the season last week as they handed the New Orleans Saints their first loss of the season 24-17 as 7.5-point underdogs in NFL football betting. Now the Cowboys face the Redskins who are coming off their worst performance of the season as they were blown out by the New York Giants 45-12. Dallas is a 6.5-point NFL betting favorite in Sunday night football odds with a total of 42 at online sportsbooks. The Cowboys actually can win the NFC East if they win against Washington on Sunday and then the following week against Philadelphia. The key on Sunday will be avoiding a letdown.

"We've got to come into the next game ready and focused," safety Ken Hamlin said. "It's a big win, but it won't mean nothing if we lose the next one." The Dallas offense is playing well as quarterback Tony Romo has thrown eight TDs with no interceptions in the last four games. The defense also is playing well led by Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus Ware who dominated the Saints last week. The only area of concern for Dallas in NFL football betting was the kicking game and the Cowboys made a change this week, replacing Nick Folk with Shaun Suisham. Bet Dallas -6.5 as road favorites against the Redskins for the week 16 NFL Sunday night football game on NBC with up to a 60% deposit bonus.

The Redskins played very poorly last week in football betting odds against the Giants and were never in the game, trailing 24-0 early in the second quarter. The team did not make a good impression for new general manager Bruce Allen. "This is an audition. These last couple of games is an audition," cornerback DeAngelo Hall said. "Bruce Allen pretty much got a head start on evaluating talent. If he looks at what he saw (Monday), he'll scrap this whole thing." Dallas will be trying to sweep the Redskins for the first time since 2004. Bet Washington +6.5 as home underdogs in NFL Sunday night football betting odds against the Cowboys with a total of 42.
