Final Score and Prediction:

The Cowboys will win this game, as getting Williams, and Logan Wilson will shore up this defense and with the return of Agent 0 DeMarvion Overshown, Shavon Revel, and Donovan Wilson will be a huge diffrence maker. Except the Cowboys to have a snap count, on Overshown and Revel.

The Cowboys have to get back to getting the offense on track, which stalled last week vs. the Cardinals. Some costly decisions in the Red Zone was very costly. Look for Dak Prescott, to target George Pickens and Ceedee Lamb, and establish the running game.

Final Score: Dallas Cowboys 31 Las Vegas Raiders : 14
