The meat in the Thanksgiving Day NFL sandwich is the NFC East battle between the dynamic Dallas Cowboys and the wobbling Washington Commanders. The Cowboys are double-digit favorites, but one of their 3 losses this season came when they were 12-point favorites against the Cardinals in Week 3, so nothing can be ruled out.
Facing them is a Commanders team who have lost 7 of their 9 games after a 2-0 start, and who turned in an awful result in Week 11 with a 31-19 loss to the Giants, who had been crushed 49-17 by Dallas in their previous game.
I have put together a 3-leg Commanders vs Cowboys Same Game Parlay that would provide a payout at +1100 odds with DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing. You can check out the full game preview in our Week 12 NFL predictions, but now let’s take a look at my Commanders vs Cowboys Same Game Parlay for Thursday’s 4:30 pm ET matchup.
Over 49 points (-108)
As my colleague Chris Farley explains in making the over a 3-star play in our Commanders vs Cowboys predictions, this has all the makings of a high-scoring contest. The Cowboys have the potential to score early and extremely often with their high-powered offense against a defense that just gave up 246 passing yards and 3 touchdowns to Tommy DeVito of the Giants. The Cowboys have scored 125 points in their last 3 games that weren’t against the Eagles (although they still scored a respectable 23 in that game), but they just love feasting on weak defenses, and Washington’s currently ranks 29th in yards allowed per game.
