Right after Jon Gruden was fired, this game looked intensely interesting sitting on the Thanksgiving schedule. The Las Vegas Raiders were playing better, inspired football as if they\u2019d had a cancer shaped like a ship\u2019s anchor removed. Then, of course, everything else happened and there\u2019s no reason to rehash it. I\u2019m trying to write fun NFL previews here and the Las Vegas horror show is detrimental to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the Raiders have to be longingly looking forward to the offseason as they travel to AT&T Stadium to take on a Dallas Cowboys team that\u2019s lost two of its last three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will just be the 13th<\/sup> meeting all time between the two franchises. They\u2019re tied 6-6 with Dallas claiming the last three in a row. They last faced off in 2017 with the Cowboys pocketing a 20-17 win in Oakland. Dak Prescott threw for 212 yards, no touchdowns and two picks. Derek Carr was good for 171 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LAS VEGAS<\/strong> RAIDERS (5-5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After looking like a playoff team or even potential AFC West champions after the first seven weeks of the season, the wheels have come off and are now cruising down four different lanes of the highway for the Raiders. They\u2019ve lost three straight, with the last two being particularly ugly. On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals trashed them 32-13. Carr threw for 215 yards, a touchdown and a pick, but Las Vegas had no running game to speak of. Darren Waller caught seven passes for 116 yards. The defense sacked Joe Burrow three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DALLAS<\/strong> COWBOYS (7-3)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike McCarthy is proving time and again that he\u2019s still the same guy he\u2019s always been, as his team has wilted under the lights after a strong start to the season. Last week, in a measuring stick game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas forgot to bring their stick, losing 19-9. Prescott threw for 216 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. The Cowboys rushed a combined 16 times for just 82 yards between Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. The defense sacked Patrick Mahomes three times and picked him off once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s difficult to see Las Vegas winning another game against any halfway decent team this season. They\u2019ve suffered pretty much every type of awful distraction they could this year and there\u2019s still eight weeks to go. As for Dallas, McCarthy\u2019s stink has finally infiltrated the team just like it has every men\u2019s room he\u2019s ever stepped foot inside. I think the Cowboys win, but don\u2019t cover. Cowboys 27, Raiders 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
