The Cowboys are coming into this matchup as a 7 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Raiders have really started to play poorly in their recent games and with everything that has happened to them this season, they are just running out of juice to deal with everything and then still go play a game of football every week. The Cowboys are coming off of a bad performance against the Chiefs and they will be looking to have a nice Thanksgiving with a big bounce back win, hopefully getting a lot of their players back off the covid list. The best bet to place in this game is on the Cowboys to cover the spread here.

"We had penalties in critical situations and extended drives for them against our defense. We gave some big push in there. We expected to get some runs out of them from a team that runs the ball really well. We have to look at how the penalties actually hurt us and why our offense is out of sync right now." - Rich Bisaccia on his team’s loss against the Bengals in their last game.

 

 

"We had a healthy 48 players ready to play. We had a number of guys that couldn't play in the game. That's the NFL. That's the course of a season." - Mike McCarthy on his team’s loss against the Chiefs in their last game.
