The Cowboys have a long history of following up a stud game with a dude game (and often visa versa). They have followed up three of their four wins this year with a straight up loss.

Oakland os a dichotomous spread and straight up team on the road. This means if a team is consistently winning outright but failing to cover or losing outright and covering, we ride the spread streak. This has proven to be a way to isolate over and undervalued teams.

Though 1-4 straight up on the highway, they are 3-1-1 against the spread. Matt McGloin has played well at QB for Oakland. With Terrelle Pryor healthy, Oakland has the ability to bring in Pryor in wildcat formations and confuse the often lost Dallas defense. The game has passed Monte Kiffin, the Pokes coordinator. Oakland can exploit that with two young QBs who have different skill sets and both who have shown flashes.
