Oakland Raiders vs. Dallas Cowboys
Game Date/Time: Thursday, August 13th, 9:00 ET
Game Location: Dallas Cowboys Stadium, Dallas, TX
TV/Radio Broadcast: Local TV, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Oakland Raiders (+3) +105 vs. Dallas Cowboys (-3) -125: Over/Under 34

Don’t kid yourself about how good the Raiders really can be this year. There are a slew of questions for a team with a bunch of new faces, but these are talented pieces to the puzzle. Head coach Tom Cable knows that he has a team that is full of promise this year, and he is going to want to get off to his winning ways right away in the preseason. New quarterback Jason Campbell might see more reps than the average starting signal caller sees in the first week of the preseason.

For Dallas, this is its second game of the preseason after putting together a fairly flawless 16-7 victory against Cincinnati in the Hall of Fame Game. Head coach Wade Phillips has probably already seen enough of most of his starters and will be expected to call on a number of backups to try to prove themselves. We aren’t overly afraid of either quarterback Matt Nichols or QB Stephen McGee.

Buffalo Bills vs. Washington Redskins
Game Date/Time: Friday, August 13th, 7:30 ET
Game Location: FedEx Field, Landover, MD
TV/Radio Broadcast: Local TV, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Buffalo Bills (+3) +105 vs. Washington Redskins (-3): Over/Under 32.5

The Bills and Redskins are both breaking in new coaches this year, and both will inevitably want to get off to a good start to the season. The difference between these teams is simple, though. Washington knows it is only playing quarterback Donovan McNabb for a short period of time, then it’s going to be all reserves, especially on offense. For Buffalo, quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Brohm, and Trent Edwards might not be stellar, but they are all fighting to become the starting signal caller for the team.

Bottom line: We tend to think that head coach Chan Gailey is a lot more interested in winning this game than head coach Mike Shanahan is. The reserves on these two teams are absolutely comparable, but the quarterback trio in Buffalo had better be good enough to beat Washington’s backups or none of them deserve the job. Also expect there to be a good wide receiver competition going on with wide receiver Terrell Owens’ spot vacated in the lineup.

Parlaying Buffalo and Oakland together on the moneyline this week for $100 will yield a cool $650 in your BetUS account thanks to pro football betting.
