Once the Week 17 slate was complete and we learned the playoff scenarios for every team, oddsmakers installed the opening betting lines for all 16 games in Week 18. The opening lines were without knowing which teams would sit starters in the final week.
The Washington Commanders host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18. This is a massive game for Dallas, as the Cowboys can clinch the NFC East with a win over the Commanders. Dallas can still win the division if it loses as long as the Giants defeat the Eagles.
What’s on the line for the Commanders? How about the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft? Washington enters Sunday’s game having lost seven in a row, and it’s expected to be Ron Rivera’s final game as head coach.
So, it was no surprise when the Cowboys opened as the largest favorite in Week 18. Dallas opened as a 13.5-point favorite over Washington.
Now that we’ve seen the final injury reports and have a better understanding of what’s on the line around the league let’s review the final betting lines for the Commanders and Cowboys, per BetMGM.
