MLB Odds/Point Spread: Las Vegas Raiders -4, Total Odds: 38
Regarding preseason records, the head coach has a career record of 29-30 SU but only had a 2-7 SU mark since moving to Dallas. Lay the points with the Raiders and fade McCarthy and his Cowboys. Additionally, when we are handicapping preseason games, quarterback play is frequently the most important metric that we consider.
If Dak Prescott is given the start on Saturday, it’s uncertain if he can pull it off. He recently had a forgettable season, leading the league with 15 interceptions. Additionally, it’s important to note that Will Grier and Cooper Rush combined for three touchdowns and two interceptions if McCarthy chooses to go with that combination. That in no way encourages me to support them. Ultimately, Vegas defeated both preseason opponents by a score of 68-24.
