Dallas is laying 3 -120 at 5 Dimes or 3.5 at BetUs with a total of 34.
Dallas of course has a game under their belt after annihilating the Cincinnati Bengals in the Hall-of-Fame game, a GodsTips Wise Guy easy winner. However, they face a short week with just three days between games.
They are suddenly thin at TE with John Phillips, a big star of training camp, out for the year. Martellus Bennett is out again with a bad ankle, Jason Witten will not see much time in the preseason. He and Scott Sicko are the only completely healthy TEs the Pokes have.
Remember, top draft pick WR Dez Bryant is out for the preseason for the Pokes. Dallas will also be without two other promising first-year players as ILB Sean Lee and S Akwasi Owusu-Ansah are both out. Veteran OT Alex Barron and CB Cletis Gordon are out after being injured in the opener.
Starting QB Tony Romo will play more than the one series he got Sunday, but the big battle is for No. 2 between Jon Kitna and Stephen McGee. Kitna will take 20-25 snaps. Dallas will stay vanilla on offense.
Jason Campbell makes his debut as starting QB for the Raiders. Oakland starters may play through the first quarter.
Against the spread records (all are preseason only): Dallas 18-4 off non-conference game. Oakland 0-7 on the road on Thursdays. The Cowboys have gone over 9-1 after a game with a turnover margin of +2 or better.
