Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders Prediction 5 January 2025

Will the Dallas Cowboys manage to defeat the Washington Commanders for the fourth time in a row? Sportbooks are firmly convinced that a rematch will occur in the 18th round of the NFL regular season. An inconspicuous mid-tier team against a potential "dark horse" of the tournament - that's a brief characterization the match deserves, and a prediction for it is published before you.

Dallas

Dallas is awaiting a major overhaul soon, as the current course has completely run its course. First and foremost, the team needs to address issues with free agents. Although the resignation of the head coach is also quite likely. Mike McCarthy has not adjusted his players' game accordingly, which did not allow them to reach the playoffs. Last weekend, the representatives from Texas offered no resistance to Philadelphia (7:41), failing to take the initiative even for a short period.

Washington

Washington, on the other hand, is in excellent condition at the moment, which is terrible news for competitors. The team still looks somewhat weak compared to Detroit and Minnesota. But it is definitely on the right path. This winter, the "Capitals" won four consecutive games, thereby fully redeeming themselves to fans for a fall series of three defeats. By the way, last season the guys finished among the entrenched outsiders, recording only 4 wins against 13 losses.

Editorial Prediction

In this encounter, Dallas appears to face significant difficulties ahead. Washington is significantly better prepared for the match from all perspectives, and we believe that this time it will play disciplined defense. A home team total under 20.5 is a logical choice for the match.
