The Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to host the Washington Commanders in a Week 2 NFC East match at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, with kick-off set for 4:25 p.m. ET.

Dallas enters as a four-point favourite, while the total is set at 50.5 points. Both teams are 0-1 after Washington lost 24-22 to Philadelphia and Dallas fell 28-20 to the New York Giants.

The Cowboys have won eight of the teams’ past 10 meetings, including both games last season. Washington finished third in the NFC East at 5-12 in 2025, while Dallas finished second at 7-9-1.

CBS Sports reported that SportsLine’s model projects 60 combined points and favours the total going over in 66 per cent of its simulations. The over has also hit in six of the past 10 meetings, eight of Washington’s past 10 games and eight of Dallas’s past nine.

The game remains scheduled, and the odds and projection may change before kick-off. SportsLine’s betting claims and simulations have not been independently verified, and the source does not identify which team its model projects to cover the spread.
