Raiders prepare to face Cowboys at home
Fresh off a victory last time out over San Francisco, Dallas can keep their momentum going with a win Sunday on the road at Oakland.
Dallas brings a 2-1 overall mark (0-1 in the division) into this game against an Oakland team carrying an 0-3 record.
The Raiders are favored slightly by the bookmakers, who opened the game at -3. They are 1-2 ATS on the season, while the Cowboys bring a 1-2 ATS mark to the table. The total has been set at 46.
Bill Parcells' troops went to San Francisco last game and came away with a 34-31 win, a game that went over 40.5. Oddsmakers had them as 6.5-point favorites in that one.
After squandering a halftime lead last game at Philadelphia against the Eagles, the Raiders need to find a way to grab a lead and hold onto it this week. The final of that one was 23-20, which went under the total of 46.5.
Oakland has struggled with its ground game, averaging just 61.3 yards per game on the season, 31st in the league. They need more production from their backfield, plain and simple.
