The Commanders opened this season with an over/under line of 40.5 which them and the Cowboys failed to surpass. Their 32 points was 10th in the league in points scored in the opening week. They head into this week with an OU record of 0-1.
Their first game of the season finished with 59 points, which was 12th in the league for the opening week. Their over/under record to start the season is 0-1.
On the over/under, I have the best bet being to take the over at 38. This looks like a slam dunk bet for me, as my gut tells me the over will hit as well as our model projecting a combined 39 points.
