The Dallas Cowboys are in a must-win spot and will also need the help of the Giants to beat Philly to get into the postseason. While they're a big home favorite over Washington, I think this game will be closer than the point spread suggest.

The Cowboys are reeling at the worst possible time with four losses in their last five games, and even though the Redskins are an NFC-worst 3-12 SU, note that they're 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog while the Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite.

Additionally, while the Skins will be without starting rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, keep in mind that Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is dealing with a sprained right shoulder and was unable to practice Thursday.

The public will still be all over the Cowboys, and that's why the value is on Washington.

8* play on Washington Redskins.
