Cowboys Seek Redemption After Bye, Favored Against Struggling Raiders

As of November 12th, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys are set to return to action after their Week 10 bye, looking to get back to their winning ways. This week, they will hit the road to take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in a highly anticipated Monday Night Football showdown.

The Cowboys have high hopes for the second half of the season, having recently traded for defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson. In addition, they could have rookie cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. on the field as well. These new additions have seemingly swayed the oddsmakers, as Dallas is favored by more than a field goal heading into the game.

The Raiders, on the other hand, have struggled this season, ranking 30th in the NFL in total yards and 31st in points scored. They are also dealing with uncertainty at the quarterback position, as Geno Smith is questionable with a quad injury. If Smith is unable to play, it will be Kenny Pickett under center for Las Vegas.

This could be the perfect opportunity for the Cowboys' defense to find its rhythm. If Williams, Wilson, and Overshown can make an immediate impact, it could be a great outing for the road team. The Cowboys will be looking to capitalize on the Raiders' offensive woes and secure a much-needed win as they aim to bounce back from their recent struggles.
