Dallas has been terrible on both sides of the ball since losing Elliott and Lee. They have one touchdown in the last three games. Prescott has been trying to press without Elliott and is making mistakes. Washington isn’t much better and is racked by injuries. I honestly don’t like either of these teams right now but I think it will be a low scoring game.
