What are the odds? Commanders open as road underdogs against Cowboys

Sportsbooks have installed the Washington Commanders as visiting underdogs heading into their upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The divisional clash follows an opening-week defeat for Washington, who started their 2026 campaign with a tight 24-22 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

During that opener, quarterback Jayden Daniels tossed a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown strikes, though the late surge proved insufficient to avoid the narrow defeat. History also looms over the upcoming contest with Dallas, recalling a November 24, 2024 showdown in Landover where the Cowboys downed the Commanders 34-26 despite Daniels scoring a two-point conversion.
