NFL Thanksgiving Day football betting - Oakland Raiders at Dallas Cowboys
By Matt Knowles on 2009-11-26 20:00:30
Oakland travel to Dallas in the second of three NFL games on Thanksgiving in week twelve of the NFL season. The Raiders have had a poor season so far and are now 3-7, but will take heart from their shock 20-17 win over the Bengals last week. The Cowboys also won last week, edging out the Redskins 7-6 in a very tight game, and now sit top of the NFC East at 7-3 after winning five of their previous six games.
Dallas are heavy favourites on the money line for this game at -800 (bet $800 to win $100 profit), leaving Oakland as big underdogs at +614 (bet $100 to win $614 profit). Betting so far on the money line has mainly been in favour of the Raiders, with 83% of money so far backing them to produce an upset.
The point spread has been set at 13.5 points for the game, making Dallas favourites at -13.5 points and giving Oakland a handicap of +13.5 points. Betting against the spread has so far been fairly evenly split with 52% of money behind the Cowboys even with the large handicap. Last time the teams met, however, the Raiders did not need any advantage at all as they beat Dallas 19-13 in week four of the 2005 season.
Oakland have performed better against the spread so far this season than they have on the field, covering at 5-5 while winning at only 3-7. Dallas, however, are better winning than beating the spot, covering at 5-5 even while succeeding on the field at 7-3.
The Over/Under for the game has been set 40 points with 62% of betting so far in favour of the Over. This seems strange, however, as Dallas has split 5-5 on the Over/Under and Oakland have recorded six Unders in their ten decisions so far.
The hosts tonight are seen as having some chance of mounting a challenge for the Super Bowl this year, priced at 25/1 for glory this year. Oakland, however, are not and at 1000/1 they are effectively out of contention for the postseason already.
