Dallas Cowboys vs. Las Vegas Raiders Prediction

I’m on the Cowboys here. It’s a tricky spot in a potential look-ahead for the Cowboys with the Eagles on deck and facing the lowly Raiders. However, the Raiders are a mess and are playing out the string at this point while the Cowboys need to take advantage of every winnable spot they have to keep in the playoff race. This Cowboys defense has been bad at times this year, but the Raiders are playing so bad that they may make the Cowboys look like a brick wall. I think this is a spot where the Cowboys get it done on the road so give me the Cowboys in this one.
