Dallas exploded for 40 points last week against a good Jaguars\u2019 defense. However, the Cowboys have struggled to say the least in three road games averaging only 12 points. Both these teams are\u00a0 <\/span>among the best defensive teams in the league. I expect a close low scoring game with the Redskins pulling it out at the end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
