The form typically goes out of the window when divisional opponents lock horns. However, this represents a winnable game for the Washington Commanders versus a Dallas Cowboys team coming apart at the seams.
Dan Quinn won't be taking anything for granted. The players should be firmly focused on doing everything possible to ensure their head coach gains bragging rights over his old employers. Washington also needs to get its playoff push back on track after two consecutive defeats over the last fortnight.
The Cowboys are heading in the complete opposite direction. They are in freefall and missing some top-level performers once again. Quinn and his players won't get a better opportunity to strike a telling blow in this rivalry en route to their eighth success of the campaign.
Can the Commanders cope with this pressure and turn the tide? Or will Dallas dig deep in the face of significant adversity to attain a surprising victory on their travels?

Jayden Daniels prop bets
Jayden Daniels hasn't been at his best over the last fortnight. The rookie quarterback set an enormously high bar for himself following a sensational start to the 2024 campaign. How he responds in the face of adversity will tell us plenty about what the Commanders could potentially accomplish over the rest of 2024.
Daniels has the poise and mindset to ensure this bump in the road doesn't become anything more concerning. He's got a good chance to return to his old self versus the Cowboys, who don't have the best defensive record despite boasting outstanding playmakers at all three levels of the field.
The No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft's over/under for passing yards in Week 12 stands at 225.5 according to FanDuel Sportsbook. This is available at -110 depending on which side of the target you fancy (bet $110 to win $100).
Daniels' over/under for pass completions is 18.5 from 28.5 attempts. The Heisman Trophy winner out of LSU's mark for passing touchdowns sits at 1.5 with FanDuel Sportsbook.
- Over 1.5 touchdowns: -102 (bet $102 to win $100)
- Under 1.5 touchdowns: -128 (bet $128 to win $100)
