The Washington Redskins are getting ready for a key rivalry game in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Here are the key matchups and a score prediction for the contest.

The Redskins are facing yet another turning point early in the season. They have yet to win or lose consecutive games but entering Week 7, they have a chance to improve to 4-2 and notch a key win over a division rival. And that rival is the hated Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys are coming in with a 3-3 record and with a win, they would overtake Washington in the NFC East standings. They also come in with a lot of momentum after absolutely thrashing the Jaguars, so that will also be a big-time factor in this contest.

Still, the Redskins will have the motivation to succeed too. They have a chance to take a commanding spot in the division and become the primary rival to the division crown with the Eagles. And knocking the Cowboys to a losing record would just be gravy.

With all that said, here’s an in-depth preview and analysis of this week’s game including matchups to watch and a score prediction.
