The Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins betting odds featured a line of Redskins -2 when this one first opened and heading into Sunday, the line had gone up to Dallas -1 ½ at a number of online sportsbooks including BetUS.com

This is definitely one of the most anticipated games of Week 11. 

Washington has gone 5-2 in this series over the last 7 games.  The home team has won 5 of the last 6 even though Washington won the last game played between these two on the road.  The Redskins are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against Dallas.

The Cowboys are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS loss.  They are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 vs. NFC and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC East.  The Redskins, meanwhile, are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. NFC.

BetUS.com provided the following analysis of this game:

"Both of these teams had last week off, and that gave Dallas some extra time to contemplate their fate. The way the NFC East is shaking down, this may not be a "must" game for the Cowboys, but it is awful close. They simply can not afford to be swept in the season series by Washington. The good news is that Tony Romo, who has sat out with a broken pinky finger, is ready to play again.

"Romo might not be extra sharp, but even half of him is better than what the 'Boys had experienced with their backups. To give you an example, they averaged 29 points a game with Romo playing, while they put up just 13.7 ppg with Brad Johnson starting. Romo threw for 8.45 yards an attempt, while Johnson was at just 5.47. And while Johnson threw just two TD passes with five INT's, Romo had 14 TD's with five INT's. Dallas scored less than 14 points against St. Louis, Tampa Bay and the Giants. That will likely change.

"What's also important is the attitude that the return of Romo will put in place with this team. As such, let's look for Terrell Owens to play with a bit more swagger, and for Roy Williams (the receiver) to be more of a part of the offense than he's shown thus far (three catches). Felix Jones (8.9 yards a carry), with a hamstring injury, should be set to go as well. Dallas didn't get a bad trade-off in the secondary; they lost Pacman Jones to suspension but they have picked up D'Angelo Hall, a Pro Bowler with Atlanta who got poisoned in Oakland just like everybody else."

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
