Match preview

The Dallas Cowboys can bounce back from last week's disappointing loss in Kansas City when they play their annual Thanksgiving home game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Dallas needs an improved effort after a poor offensive effort in a 19-9 defeat at Arrowhead Stadium. Although the Cowboys have not been in great form, they have to feel good about their defence.

Excluding a baffling loss to Denver, they have held three of their last four opponents to totals of 16, 3, and 19 points. Giving up just 19 against the Chiefs should have been enough to win, but their offence, missing top receiver Amari Cooper due to Covid protocols and with CeeDee Lamb going out during the game, couldn't get going.

Las Vegas did well initially after the shock mid-season resignation of head coach Jon Gruden, but now they have lost three games in row and it would be a big surprise if they can turn it around against a Dallas team with a point to prove.

The Raiders have covered the handicap in only two of their last seven road games, while Dallas have been the punters' pals this season, rewarding their handicap backers in eight of their ten games. Back the Cowboys to score a comfortable win.
