Matt Russell backed the Raiders +3.5 on Monday Night Football, arguing that the market is still inflating Dallas the same way it traditionally overprices marquee franchises like the Lakers and Yankees. He noted that, with Dak Prescott fully priced in as an "average" quarterback, the Cowboys are only 3-5 ATS this season. The real issue is a Dallas defense ranking 30th in opponent EPA per dropback and 31st in opponent EPA per rush. By contrast, Las Vegas’ defense grades as "much better" and the offense finally gets Brock Bowers at full health in its preferred two-TE 12 personnel. Russell highlighted Geno Smith’s 284-yard, 4-TD performance against Jacksonville in Bowers’ last healthy game and expects similar success against the soft Cowboys secondary. He also pointed out that comparable visitors—Jaguars (-1.5) and Bears (+2.5)—closed at shorter numbers in Las Vegas, reinforcing that +3.5 is generous. Coming off a bye, Dallas’ new defensive additions Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson come from units ranked 23rd and 31st in dropback EPA, so he sees no quick fix. All told, Russell expects a one-score game and recommends grabbing the points with the Raiders.
