Does any see any reason not to go big on Oakland today ? I think that the Raiders will come away with a big win.

Been a raider fan since birth
Seen every game for a long time. I can give you a million reasons not to go big on them today
Not saying they can't win. They bound to win sometime, but I certainly wouldn't put money on an 0-3 team simply because of the "due" factor.
Certainly seems like a game they can win, but whether or not they do is a different story.
gl whatever you decide

I can't really see any reason to go big on the Raiders....but I see they are a huge consensus pick. Why is everyone so keen to lay points with a winless team with no defence?
The only edge I see is that Dallas has been on the road for a week. I believe I heard that they stayed in the Bay Area all week after their game against the 9ers. Maybe that's a negative for the 'Boys...I dunno...maybe not.
Believe me, I am not a Cowboys fan, but they are looking like a pretty tempting bet to me right now. Someone try to talk me into taking the Raiders so I can see what I am missing....please?!?

sorry Johnny
I'll be more clear. he asked whether or not to go BIG on the raiders.
Obviously it could win.
But, he is betting on a team with Zero wins. A team that has defense that resembles moldy swiss cheese. They cannot stop the run and will get hammered with doses of Julius today. The cowboy defense is pretty good. Not great, but good enough. Their linebackers will force Collins to beat them. Collins has decent numbers this year, but he still puts the ball on the ground and into the defenders hands a lot. While some teams can't, Dallas CAN capitalize on that. The raiders will put up some points, but when you go BIG on a team you should hope you have a big enough edge where a game might be a blowout or easy win. Their defense will never give you that option.
The raiders are surely gonna win a game this year, and this may very well be it. I just have a problem with laying points on a winless team with a bad defense against a pretty good defense.
Norv Turner vs. Bill Parcells is also a no-brainer. Old Norv will get outcoached again as he will attempt to throw deep again and Parcells will play mostly zone and take away the deep ball. All you have to do is stop the raiders deep and they can't beat you. Collins isn't capable enough to run a short passing west coast offense spread against the dallas D.
Now will the Raiders win? Hopefully, I certainly wouldn't touch it and certainly wouldn't go BIG on it.
Hope this helps. go raiders and hope you win whatever you play

I like the Cowboys in this spot. R. Moss has killed the Cowboys in the past, but this is a vastly improved secondary. I see the Cowboys winning this game by at least 10pts.
