3 Bold Predictions for Raiders vs. Cowboys: Las Vegas Receivers are Primed for Big Game

Don't let the 8-point spread fool you, the Week 12 matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys might be the best game on the Thanksgiving Day slate.

If you've counted the Raiders out this season, I would advise you to re-think your stance. They are still statistically one of the better teams in the league, and they can beat any team in the NFL on any given day.

Because I feel so strongly about this game, I've decided to break down my top three most bold predictions for the game. All odds listed are via WynnBET.

Bold Predictions for Raiders vs. Cowboys

• Raiders Moneyline +275
• Hunter Renfrow First Touchdown Scorer +1500
• Most Rushing + Receiving Yards Darren Waller +1500

Raiders Moneyline +275

All three of my bold predictions are centered around the Raiders, because I think they're being severely underestimated undervalued in this spot. They rank fourth in the NFL in net yards per play, which is significantly better than the Cowboys at 11th.

They also rank fourth in opponent yards per pass attempt, so their defense should be able to slow down the passing attack of the Cowboys. Believe it or not, the Raiders are a live dog on Thursday.

Hunter Renfrow First Touchdown Scorer +1500

The Cowboys secondary is vulnerable, so I think Derek Carr and his receivers are primed for a big day. Dallas ranks 21st in opponent yards per pass attempt, which means Carr should be able to get the ball to Renfrow, who is the Raiders top target at wideout.

You can bet on him to score a TD at any point in the game at +175, but I'm going to get risky and bet on him to be the first touchdown scorer of the game at +1500. This is called "bold predictions", after all.

Most Rushing + Receiving Yards Darren Waller +1500

WynnBET offers a unique set of prop bets where you can wager on who will have the most combined yards in the game. Each team's running backs are the betting favorites, but I think Darren Waller could be a sneaky good play at +1500.

He has established himself as one of the top tight ends in the NFL, and he's coming off his best performance of the season, recording 116 receiving yards on seven receptions. If Carr continues to feed him the ball, he's worth a shot at being the offensive leader in the game at +1500.
