The Cowboys are two-touchdown underdogs in this matchup for a reason. The Raiders are the better team. But fear not Cowboys fans.
Even though home teams finished with a slightly below .500 record vs. the spread last season, I see there being more value on taking Wyoming at +14, and like their chances to cover the spread vs. Texas Tech.
