What are the odds?

Over/Under (O/U): 50.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Moneyline (ML): Cowboys -325 (bet $325 to win $100) | Commanders +260 (bet $100 to win $260)

Against the spread: Cowboys -7 (-110) | Commanders +7 (-110)

Cowboys vs. Commanders predictionsMoneyline: Cowboys 32, Commanders 16

The Cowboys (-325) will set you back more than 3 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

While Dallas is in a lot better shape, health-wise, at least in terms of its skill-position players, it is anything but a sure thing, as is evidenced by its eliminated status for the playoffs.

Jeremy Cluff writes: “This game looked like it could have playoff implications before the season, but much to the dismay of Netflix, it is just an NFC East showdown, with Jayden Daniels out for the home team. Dallas beat Washington earlier this season in Dallas, 44-22. We expect a closer game this time around.”

Bill Speros writes: “Dr. Seuss had this one nailed. ‘Stink. Stank. Stunk.’ Netflix paid 500 billion-zillion-gazillion dollars to air its 2 Christmas Day games. But no one, not even the suits at Park Avenue, can guarantee a compelling matchup on Dec. 25 when the schedule comes out in May. Both teams are mathematically on to 2026. No one wants to be here on Christmas Day. Not Fans. Players. Media. The Netflix Crew. Not even Snoop Dogg’s halftime show gets your to hit the clicker here. The Commanders entered the season with the oldest roster in the NFL. And it showed as the season progressed. Expect a complete overhaul this offseason. Jerry Jones and the Cowboys mark 30 years without a Super Bowl victory- on January 28.”
