- Oakland is one of seven teams that Cowboys does not hold a series advantage over, joining Baltimore, Cleveland, Denver, Jax, Miami and SF (series tied)

- Seven of the 10 games have been decided by seven points or less

- The last meeting was on Nov 26, 2009 in Dallas, Dallas 24, Oakland 7

A Cowboys win would:

- Improve Dallas' Thanksgiving Day record to 29-16-1 and prevent consecutive holiday losses for the first time since 2000/2001

- Give the Cowboys back-to-back wins over Oakland for the first time since 1992/1995 and just for the second time in the series

- Up the Cowboys record against the AFC to 90-70-0 for the second most NFC wins over AFC opponents. SF has the conf high of 94.

The Cowboys better be ready for a fight. The Raiders are not going to just come in and lay down, or just quit. They won't come to play the Cowboys just because it is a prime time game. They want to win this game just like the Cowboys.

The Cowboys have just come off a hard road game with a few days to get ready for tomorrow. Games like this are what a football team has to go do. Can they? The Cowboys better not get a big head about the last win.

The Raiders could come over and beat the Cowboys. They don't like the Cowboy's...even if it's tomorrow!
