The Cowboys need a win in the worst way after getting trampled by the New York Giants last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This is an NFC East game and has huge importance to both teams. The Commanders are also 0-1 after losing a divisional game against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nfl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel has the Cowboys as the favorites (-4.5)<\/a> and has set an over\/under of 50.5 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Here are a few bold predictions for the game.<\/p>\n<p>1. Dak Prescott throws 3 TDs, and has a passer rating over 120<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Dak Prescott is usually very good in games after a Cowboys loss, especially a loss to open a season. This week, he is at home where he excels, and he is playing a Washington defense that is susceptible to big, explosive plays. The secondary is a weak spot on their defense, so the Cowboys need to let Prescott cook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb and Ryan Flournoy will be the yardage guys, and should keep the offense moving the sticks. Prescott will do the rest and have a huge day.<\/p>\n<p>2. Jake Ferguson has 2 TD catches<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Jake Ferguson was among the many Cowboys starters who disappointed in the first game versus the Giants. Above, we mentioned the WR corps as the big beneficiaries of a strong Prescott passing game. But tight end Jake Ferguson will be the guy who puts the points on the board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert busted up the Washington defense for two touchdowns last week. This week, Ferguson will match him against the Washington defense.<\/p>\n<p>3. Quinnen Williams gets a sack, and 3 TFL<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">All week, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has talked about how the defense didn\u2019t play up to its standards, and that he personally needs to play better. Williams didn\u2019t have a bad game last week, but he wants to be a disruptor every week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This week, he will notch a sack. But not only that, he will continually collapse the line in the middle and rack up three TFLs, creating havoc in the Washington backfield.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Okay, over to you BTB.
