<h2>
Cowboys vs. Redskins Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Dallas opened its season last week with a convincing 35-17 victory over the New York Giants. The Cowboys actually spotted the G-Men the first seven points of the game but led 21-7 at the half. Dallas then allowed New York to get within 21-10 early in the third quarter but answered immediately with a touchdown drive and coasted home from there for the win and the cover as seven-point favorites.
</p>
<p>
On the day the Cowboys racked up 494 yards of total offense, as quarterback Dak Prescott fashioned himself a big day. Running back Ezekiel Elliot, fresh off his contract holdout, was used rather sparingly, accounting for 14 offensive touches for 63 yards and one touchdown. But odds are he'll get a few more touches than that this Sunday.
</p>
<p>
Also, while the Dallas defense gave up 470 yards of Giants offense, much of that came while protecting a big lead.
</p>
<p>
Washington, meanwhile, opened its season with a 32-27 loss at Philadelphia. The Redskins jumped out to a 17-0 lead on the Eagles and led 20-7 at the half. But they gave up a 25-0 Philadelphia run in the second half and couldn't recover.
</p>
<p>
Fortunately for its financial backers, Washington scored a meaningless touchdown with six seconds left to cover the spread as a 10-point underdog.
</p>
<p>
On the day the Redskins produced 398 yards of total offense, but only 28 on the ground. On the other side of the ball, the Washington defense allowed 436 yards of Eagles offense.
</p>
<p>
RB Derrius Guice, who's supposed to carry the load out of the Redskins backfield this season, suffered a knee injury last week and will miss this game, and probably more. Washington may now be forced to turn back to 34-year-old Adrian Peterson for its ground production, which seems like an iffy proposition.
