Blogging The Boys
The Dallas Cowboys’ bye week is closing and they now return to prep for a game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys record, 3-5-1, obviously didn’t move over the weekend. The Las Vegas Raiders played on Thursday night, and lost to the Denver Broncos 10-7. The Raiders are 2-7 on the season.
So the Cowboys once again get a game against a team with an inferior record, but that probably doesn’t instill much confidence in Dallas fans. We’ve seen this team blow it against inferior competition before, and with the Dallas defense as confused and chaotic as it has been this season, any bad offense can have a career day when battling the ‘Boys.
We will get to see new additions Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson on the defense, at defensive tackle and linebacker respectively. Maybe they will have an instant impact and turn that unit into something that is at least competitive.
As bad as Dallas has been, they are still favored in this game that will be on the road. According to our partners at FanDuel, Dallas are 3-point favorites in this game.
What’s the call BTB? Would you even consider laying money on Dallas at those odds, or are the Raiders the better bet here?
