Washington is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 games against the Dallas Cowboys, including a 7-1 ATS stretch over their last eight meetings. Washington hopes that this trend of success continues when it visits the Cowboys as a road underdog this Monday night.
Washington vs. Dallas, ‘Monday Night Football’: Betting odds, preview, prediction
The Dallas Cowboys look to stay hot hosting rival Washington on Monday Night Football.

Dallas is a 10-point home favorite at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Cowboys’ strong and consistent play on both sides of the ball seems to make the team a reliable favorite going against slumping Washington, despite what the computer thinks about its chances of covering the spread.
Washington is just 1-4 SU and ATS over its last four games after breaking a four-game losing streak in a 19-17 win over Tennessee last week but failing to cover the spread as a 6.5-point favorite at home. The struggles of Kirk Cousins at quarterback have prompted coach Jay Gruden to make a quarterback change to hand the reigns over to Colt McCoy until Robert Griffin III is healthy enough to start. Washington hasn't put up much of a fight with an 0-9 SU and 2-7 ATS record in its last nine games as a road underdog.
OddsShark Computer Prediction: Washington 19.4, Dallas 28.9
Washington visits the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Monday night at 8:35 p.m. ET.
NFL Week 8
The Cowboys have seemingly erased any doubt about whether or not they are a legitimate contender over the first half of the season with a 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS record over their last six games. With 128 rushing yards against the Giants last Sunday, DeMarco Murray rushed for over 100 yards for the seventh straight time this season. Tony Romo has thrown for 13 touchdowns with just three interceptions as the offense has averaged 29.8 points per game over Dallas' last six games.
Monday night’s total is set at 49 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The total has gone UNDER in each of the last three meetings between these two NFC East rivals and is 7-3 in Washington’s last 10 road games against divisional opponents.
Ten points is a lot to give up, especially in a division rivalry game. But with Dallas rolling on offense and facing an inexperienced third-string quarterback in McCoy at home, the Cowboys should be able to pull away with a double-digit victory as a 10-point home favorite over Washington.
