NFL Best Bets & Odds: Week 12 NFL Thanksgiving
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Dallas Cowboys
Date: Thursday, Nov. 25, 2021
Time: 4:30 p.m. EST
Venue: AT&T Stadium – Arlington, Texas
Coverage: CBS
After the adversity the Raiders have faced, they came together for a couple of emotional wins. We have recently seen the fallout, with three straight losses. They have surrendered 73 points the past two weeks, and those games were at home. During these three losses, Derek Carr has thrown just as many touchdowns as interceptions while being held under 300 yards every game. They need to find some offensive spark, but their choices are very limited.
The Cowboys have some offensive troubles as well, with Amari Cooper out and CeeDee Lamb likely joining him. Ezekiel Elliott is also banged up, though he will play through it. The question is how effective he will be. If the running game is inefficient, Dak Prescott will need to make some magic happen with Michael Gallup as his top wide receiver. Defensively, the Cowboys have playmakers, but when they are not making plays, things turn south quickly. For example, Trevon Diggs leads the league in interceptions, though he also surrenders almost the most yards in the NFL.

Raiders vs. Cowboys NFL Best Bet
We are using the new Awesemo NFL Betting Model to figure out the best bet for the second NFL Thanksgiving game. The best bet, according to the model, seems to be under 51.0, giving it an expected ROI of 6.2%. While the expected ROI is higher for the Raiders’ moneyline, the model only gives that bet a 26% chance to hit. Meanwhile, it projects the game total at 49.5. The Raiders’ offense has not been good, while the Cowboys are likely down their top two receivers. It’s easy to see how there could be sloppy offensive football in this game.
