The Las Vegas Raiders have been one of the most disappointing teams in football this season. After starting the year as one of the best teams in the NFL, they are now just 5-5 and are taking on a tough Dallas Cowboys team in Week 12.
Las Vegas has some of the most talent in all of football and that's going to help them get a win against the Cowboys. A team with Derek Carr, Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow, and others should never be 5-5.
For more insight on the Raiders' Week 12 matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, listen below:
This is going to be a tough game for the Raiders-Cowboys, but let's take a look at four bold predictions for their Week 12 game.

Raiders Week 12 Predictions
4. Derek Carr throws for over 300 yards and wins this game for the Raiders
Derek Carr has been impressive this season but has struggled the past two weeks. There's a reason why he already has over 3,000 yards in only 10 games and is second in yards for a quarterback this season.
He's going to throw for over 300 yards and will finish with near 350 and throw for three touchdowns. This is going to be the boost that gives the Raiders the win. Derek Carr is going to get his team back on track as they look to inch closer to first place in the AFC West.
3. The defense finally steps up and gives up less than 21 points
The defense has been pitiful for most of the season and that hasn't changed the past 2 weeks. They have gone up against two elite offenses but that's no excuse to give up 30-plus points in back-to-back weeks. The defense is going to step up this week and they are going to only give up 17 points en route to a 31-17 victory.
2. Hunter Renfrow has a two-touchdown game with over 125 yards
Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller are arguably the best receiver duo in the NFL. That isn't going to change this week and Hunter Renfrow is going to almost double his season total in touchdowns.
Hunter Renfrow is going to have his biggest game of the season for the Raiders. He's going to catch two touchdown passes and have over 125 yards
1. The Raiders get back on track and win easily
This might be surprising, but it's the perfect week for the Raiders to get back on track and win big against a good football team. The Cowboys have not looked great recently and there's always a point in the season where the Cowboys fall apart.
The inevitable Cowboys crash has happened almost every year for the past decade and that's going to happen again this year. They have already started to crash including two losses in their last three games. The Raiders are going to make that three losses out of their last four games. The Raiders will win this one easily, 31-17, and walk away 6-5 on the year.
This is going to be a tough game for the Raiders but they have the talent to win this game. The Cowboys are going to underperform and it's going to lead to a Raiders victory.
