INDIANAPOLIS +8 -home over Pittsburgh 5:30 PM PST (Game #112) Note: Scott Tolzien expected to start at QB for Indy
(3% play) OVER 52 (Redskins/Cowboys) - 4:30 pm ET (FOX) #109
Washington and Dallas match-up well for a high-scoring game on Thursday. The Redskins have scored 23 points or more in seven of their ten games this season. Overall, Washington is averaging 25.4 points per game on 6.5 yards per play versus defenses that only give up 21.7 points per game on 5.8 yards per play. The Redskins’ offense is in excellent current form as they’ve scored a total of 95 points in their last three games. Washington scored 23 points on 432 yards of total offense on Dallas’ defense back in their Week 2 matchup. Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 28 passes for 364 yards in that game, and now he will face a depleted Dallas secondary that is missing a couple of starters.
The Dallas offense has been fantastic at home this season. The Cowboys are averaging 26.8 points per game on a terrific 6.2 yards per play. Those numbers aren’t a fluke considering Dallas’ overall average of 6.3 yards per play versus defenses that allow 5.8 yards per play. The Cowboys will have success against a Washington defense that is allowing 23.3 points per game on 6.1 yards per play versus offenses that only average 22.2 points per game on 5.6 yards per play. Look for a high-scoring game between the Redskins and Cowboys on Thursday.
