Cowboys vs Raiders Anytime Touchdown Picks
Jake Ferguson Anytime Touchdown (+175)
Jake Ferguson enters this matchup with six touchdowns on the season and leads the team with 15 red-zone targets. He hasn’t found the end zone in a couple of games, but this sets up as a strong bounce-back spot against the Raiders.
Las Vegas has struggled badly against the pass, allowing seven passing touchdowns over the last three games. The Raiders also play zone coverage at the highest rate in the NFL, which is exactly where Ferguson thrives.
The Cowboys tight end has three touchdowns vs. zone defenses this season — the most among all NFL tight ends.
Pick: Jake Ferguson Anytime Touchdown (+175; BetMGM)
Tyler Lockett Anytime Touchdown (+500)
We’re taking a long shot with the Raiders this week.
Tyler Lockett may be past his prime, but he could see a meaningful role in this matchup.
In his debut with Las Vegas, he played the second-most snaps among the team’s receivers and posted the second-highest targets-per-route-run rate.
He now faces a Cowboys defense that has allowed 16 receiving touchdowns to wideouts this season, the most in the NFL.
Dallas also plays a high rate of zone coverage, and Lockett’s target rate has increased against zone looks compared to man coverage.
Pick: Tyler Lockett Anytime Touchdown (+500; bet365)
