"The Dallas Cowboys emerge from their bye week desperate to spark a turnaround, but for the first time all season, there's legitimate reason to believe they might have the defensive horsepower to do it. With the additions of DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson at the trade deadline, paired with the returns of LB DeMarvion Overshown and CB Shavon Revel from injured reserve, the Cowboys finally resemble something closer to a complete roster."
"This matchup has "shootout" written all over it. For Dallas, Dak Prescott enters with a cabinet full of offensive weapons: WR CeeDee Lamb, WR George Pickens, TE Jake Ferguson, and RB Javonte Williams. That group alone gives the Cowboys more firepower than they've had in years. Across the field, Geno Smith directs an equally explosive Raiders offense featuring RB Ashton Jeanty, TE Brock Bowers, and WR Tyler Lockett; a trio that can stress Dallas at all three levels."
"The Raiders have the home crowd, the Vegas lights, and the reputation of being the team most analysts point to when predicting a random Cowboys letdown. This time, that narrative gets flipped. In a game loaded with points and momentum swings, the difference comes on defense. Specifically, a newly added All-Pro defensive tackle. Prediction: Quinnen Williams blows up a potential game-winning drive by Vegas, sealing a wild Cowboys victory."
The Cowboys return from their bye with meaningful defensive reinforcements and the roster closer to complete. Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson arrived at the trade deadline, while DeMarvion Overshown and Shavon Revel returned from injured reserve. The team faces an 11-day stretch of three high-pressure games that could define the season. Week 11 at the Raiders projects as a high-scoring shootout where Cowboys offensive weapons can hang with Geno Smith’s attack, and a defensive play by Williams could decide the outcome. Week 12 is a home rematch with the Eagles, who feature Jalen Hurts and an elite offensive line.
