Dallas Cowboys vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction

Another Cowboys line that I just don’t understand. Yes, the Cowboys are an experienced team hat has expectations and isn’t going to play their starters much, if at all. I get it. However, a full touchdown in the preseason is absolutely nuts. With the roster turnover and relying on guys who won’t even be on the team in a week or so, you shouldn’t be laying big numbers in these exhibitions. The Cowboys were 5.5 point underdogs last week to the Rams, and they nearly won outright. Give me the 7 free points with the Cowboys.
