Will the Cowboys defense make itself look ridiculous again?
Monday is gambling time in Las Vegas. That’s because it’s extremely difficult to predict a winner in our Raiders vs. Cowboys tip. Both teams can play well, but neither of them is consistent in their performances.
If we trust one unit more than another, it’s the Cowboys offense. They should score well over 20 points again. However, it’s questionable whether that will be enough to win, as Dallas also concedes an average of 30.8 points defensively. That’s the second-worst record and the root of the problem this season.
So we could be in for another high-scoring game on Monday, with the 50-point mark likely to be broken again. That has been the case in six of Dallas’ nine games so far, and even the Raiders, who are not outstanding offensively, could benefit from the Cowboys’ defensive weakness.
First and foremost is Brock Bowers, who has come back strong after a long injury break and scored three touchdowns in the last two games. So, our prediction for Raiders vs. Cowboys is a high-scoring game in which several offensive players will score, including Brock Bowers.
Las Vegas Raiders – Dallas Cowboys Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
These two teams don’t face each other very often, only once in the past five years. But that game, which Vegas won 36-33 in overtime, shows where Monday’s game could be headed, namely toward a lot of points.
The Raiders’ last game, which was one of the lowest-scoring of the season with 17 points, should not change that, as it was against the Broncos and thus the exact opposite of the Cowboys’ defense. We would be surprised if the Raiders couldn’t score more than 20 points.
This makes the over points odds definitely playable for Raiders vs. Cowboys. However, lots of points also make TD tips for individual players interesting. In this regard, we prefer Brock Bowers on the Las Vegas side and George Pickens on the Cowboys side.
Las Vegas Raiders – Dallas Cowboys Tip
The Dallas Cowboys signed Quinnen Williams before the trade deadline. The defensive end is expected to stabilize the middle of the Cowboys’ defense. However, it remains to be seen whether this will work in the first game without much training. Nevertheless, this personnel change makes us avoid tips on the Raiders.
Bets on Dallas to win are only playable with restrictions. However, player bets are our top picks for betting, such as a bet on a touchdown by tight end Brock Bowers for the Raiders against the Cowboys.
In addition to player bets, we are also sticking with general over points despite the signing of Williams to the Cowboys defense. Not only do the Cowboys allow over 30 points per game, they also score 29.2 points on average. If they can do the same in Las Vegas, the 50-point mark should be broken again.
