The Week 18 NFL lines are all largely in congruence, save for one outlier. Fifteen of the 16 games have spreads of 5.5 points or fewer, which makes Cowboys vs. Commanders stick out like a sore thumb as Dallas is favored by 13.5 points. Dallas will lock up the NFC’s No. 2 seed with a victory, while Washington has more of an incentive to lose. The Commanders enter the Week 18 NFL schedule holding the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, with no shot of moving to No. 1, so it has to lose to maintain its position.
Thus, that helps explain why this game deviates from all others, per the Week 18 NFL odds.
