NFL Handicapping Picks: Raiders Will Cover To Cowboys

We can not end your search for the Butterball turkey cooking times or how to view private Facebook profiles but for anyone searching for the best football picks, the rest of you life has begun.

Matt Rivers says "Take the Raiders, plus the number at Dallas. They are getting 13.5 according to Bodog.
Could the Raiders implode with the best of them at anytime? Sure they could and especially against a Dallas team that can look like a world BEATER at times.
But I do not mind Oakland's Nnamdi Asomugha defense with shutting down half of the field and with JaMarcus Russell finally on the bench the Raiders are not the dreadful mess they were playing with Russell. Of course, Bruce Gradkowski is no better than average and that is being kind but average is far better than Russell.
The Cowboys looked fairly gross in the 7-6 win last week at home against the Redskins. I will not take too much from that because I do expect Tony Romo and the Pokes To improve upon that performance but after two straight games is a terrible offense (including the loss in Green Bay) I'm not so bereaved that Wade Phillips' squad is not mightily overrated right now.
