Commanders at Cowboys: Predictions, picks, odds for NFL Week 18 game
The fate of the Washington Commanders (11-5) and the Dallas Cowboys (7-9) has already been determined, so their matchup on Sunday is all about postseason and draft positioning.
On Sunday night, Washington officially clinched its spot in the playoffs with a big-time overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons. Now with the first postseason appearance since the 2020 season on the horizon, Washington will be playing to try and secure the No. 6 seed.
Has Mike McCarthy done enough to save his job? The Cowboys coach could make another case for himself against a playoff team as Jerry Jones must decide where his team goes in the future. This game could decide the next course for the franchise.

Lorenzo Reyes: Commanders 27, Cowboys 15
Washington needs to win to keep its hold of the No. 6 seed. The Cowboys have nothing to play for and Cooper Rush hasn’t shown an ability to rally his team. I love the Commanders to cover with ease.
Richard Morin: Commanders 24, Cowboys 15
The Commanders still have skin in the game and the Cowboys don't. Although it's impressive how Dallas has consistently shown effort in a failed season, I wouldn't be surprised to see them mail it in on Sunday.
Jordan Mendoza: Commanders 23, Cowboys 20
If CeeDee Lamb was playing, there would be a good chance Dallas could provide an upset. However, a depleted Dallas team doesn't offer much hope in what could be a close game.
