However, the explosiveness of the NFC East rivalry, a storied tradition throughout NFL history, makes this game one that should intrigue bettors.</p> <p><strong>Jayden Daniels </strong>won’t be available for the Commanders as they decided to sit the quarterback for the rest of the year.

They are 6-8-1 and will be looking to bounce back from a 34-17 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday.<strong> Dan Quinn’s</strong> Commanders are 4-11 this season.</p> <p>The Cowboys are 14-6 over the Commanders over the last 10 years.
