Bruce Arthur’s pick

Washington (-1) at Dallas

So, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones: You haven’t killed Roger Goodell’s contract talks yet. Your star running back, Ezekiel Elliott, is serving his six-game suspension despite all the lawyerly threatening. And of course the team, which was coming off a 13-3 season and was 5-3 after beating then-formidable Kansas City in Week 9, has since lost 27-7 to Atlanta, 37-9 to Philly, and 28-6 to the L.A. Chargers. You know what might goose football’s ratings? A constant feed of Jerry in his luxury box, surrounded by hangers-on, dying inside. I’d watch that. I’ve said it before, but it remains so true.

Pick: Washington
