2024 NFL Week 12 action report: Books ‘need Cowboys to show up’ against Commanders

Patrick Everson

FOX Sports Betting Analyst

For decades, the Dallas Cowboys played under the moniker of America’s Team. Maybe not so much this season, particularly for bettors, including those looking at NFL Week 12 odds.

Dallas is 3-7 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS). Meaning if you just bet against Dallas every week, you’d be making money this year.

“The Cowboys continue to be in shambles,” Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said.

Next up for disintegrating Dallas: A road date with the growingly popular Washington Commanders.

Oddsmakers and sharp bettors serve up their insights on Cowboys vs. Commanders and a handful of other games, as we dive into NFL Week 12 betting nuggets.

Dallas and Washington kick off at 1 p.m. ET Sunday on FOX. Caesars opened the Commanders as 9.5-point favorites, quickly moved to -10, and by Wednesday, was at -11.

That move was aided by action from professional bettors, who like Washington (7-4 SU/7-3-1 ATS) despite its current two-game SU and ATS skid.

“We took sharp Commanders money earlier in the week at -10,” Feazel said. “The Commanders are the more impressive team. We’ll need the Cowboys to show up for this game.”

That could be a tough ask for Caesars’ risk room, if the final game of Week 11 is any indication. On Monday night, the Cowboys were 7-point home underdogs vs. the Houston Texans and got waxed 34-10.

Dallas is on an 0-5 SU and ATS dive, with three of those losses by 24 points or more. To be fair, the Cowboys were without Dak Prescott the last two games, as his season is over due to a hamstring injury. Cooper Rush clearly isn’t the answer.

Cowboys vs. Commanders hopefully proves to be a decent appetizer for what should be a very good main course on FOX: San Francisco 49ers vs. Green Bay Packers…
