Cowboys Week 12 Predictions

4. Dak Prescott has one of his best games as a pro

Dak Prescott is one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL. He has struggled some the past few weeks and that included a game where he only threw for 216 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs and didn't have one touchdown. Dak also had two interceptions in the contest.

If the Cowboys want to be Super Bowl contenders then they need Dak Prescott to step up. This is the perfect week for him to take advantage of that.

The Raiders have struggled mightily in the past few weeks. There's no better time for Dak Prescott to really start to figure it out and have a game for over 300 yards and throw three touchdowns.

3. The offense finally figures it out against a good football team

The offense has weeks where they look like one of the best offenses in the NFL. The numbers even prove that. The past few weeks they have not looked like the offense that we were seeing at the beginning of the year. Dallas was able to put up 43 points which is impressive against any NFL team, but with that type of offense against the Atlanta Falcons, it's to be expected. Dallas is going to be able to put up over 30 points in this game. Expect them to show a glimpse of what they were showing at the beginning of the season.

2. Dallas has another slow start

Dallas is going to have another interesting start but it won't be as slow as usual. They're going to be able to put up at least 10 points by halftime. That's going to be just enough for them to walk away with a victory.

1. The Cowboys win by a field goal late in the game

Dallas is going to have an explosive second half but the Raiders are also going to start figuring it out offensively. It's going to be a close contest. Dallas is going to win this game with a last-second field goal and improve to 8-3 on the season.
