Best NFL Week 12 Same Game Parlays: Cowboys vs. Commanders
(Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook unless noted otherwise)
Cowboys vs. Commanders
- Leg 1: Commanders -9.5 Alt Spread (-130)
- Leg 2: Brian Robinson Jr. 60+ Rushing Yards (-186)
- Leg 3: Brian Robinson Jr. Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-145)
- Leg 4: Austin Ekeler Over 50.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-114)
This is a prime get-right opportunity for Washington after losing back-to-back games to tough Steelers and Eagles teams. Those losses are understandable and the Commanders were leading in the second half of both. Now they're back at home on extended rest (after playing last Thursday) to take on the lowly Cowboys.
The longer layoff should especially help Jayden Daniels, who hasn't been as good lately while playing through a rib injury. Plus, Washington can regroup between divisional games to get back on track. Banking on a double-digit win is always risky, but these Cowboys vs. Commanders showdowns haven't been close in recent seasons. Each of the past five meetings has been decided by at least two touchdowns and the favorite has covered in five of the past six matchups.
Dallas, meanwhile, is on a five-game losing streak and coming off a short week after playing on Monday night. The offense has looked lifeless over the past two weeks with Dak Prescott out and Cooper Rush at quarterback. Now, the Cowboys were dealt some key injuries on Monday. Offensive linemen Zack Martin and Tyler Smith along with tight end Jake Ferguson are all questionable. Their potential absences, especially on the offensive line, would downgrade this struggling offense even more.
Then there's the Dallas defense that's allowed at least 27 points in five straight, giving up 34.4 PPG in this stretch. The Commanders have scored at least 27 points in six of their past nine games, averaging 29.7 PPG since Week 3. Look for the offense to bounce back after being held down last week against Philly.
The Cowboys have especially struggled to stop the run, allowing 151.0 rush yards per game this year (31st). Brian Robinson Jr. returned as Washington's lead back last week and put up 63 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries against a stout Eagles run defense. He has 60+ rush yards in five of his last six fully healthy games and is averaging 65.5 yards per game (YPG) this season.
Dallas has allowed at least 60 yards to an opposing rusher in 70% of their games this season. Over the past five games, leading running backs are averaging 85.2 rush yards per game against the defense. The Cowboys have also given up a league-high 18 rush touchdowns over 10 games with at least one allowed in all but two contests.
In addition to Robinson Jr. having a big day, Austin Ekeler can also be productive in this matchup. He has seen a decent amount of work as both a pass-catcher and rusher in the Washington offense. Ekeler is averaging 67.7 total yards per game with 34.4 receiving and 33.3 rushing per game. He has 50+ combined yards in nine out of 10 contests. The Cowboys have struggled vs. the run but also allow 40.8 receiving yards per game to backs.
