3 bold predictions as Dallas Cowboys face Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11

The Dallas Cowboys will be back in action on Monday Night Football as they visit the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11.

At 3-5-1, they need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, and they enter as favorites over the 2-7 Raiders. As we saw when they took on the struggling Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, there's nothing this team should take for granted.

That's why they have to go into this one focused and ready for a hard-fought game. Dallas should be able to pull out a win if they play to their full potential, and making these three bold predictions come true would surely help.

Javonte Williams gets in the end zone twice

Javonte Williams has scored nine total touchdowns this season, getting into the end zone in eight of nine games. In Week 9, he was kept from crossing the goal line, despite a strong game where he ran for 83 yards on 15 attempts.

This is a great game for him to add to his impressive season with the Raiders surrendering 12 touchdowns on the ground. Look for Williams to run it in twice, which would give him 10 rushing touchdowns and 11 total on the year.

A highly anticipated return will take place for the Cowboys in Week 11 with DeMarvion Overshown returning from a severe knee injury. Dallas has said they might have Overshown on a "pitch count," but he's expected to be out there in key situations.

That's why this prediction has him making multiple big plays, including two tackles for a loss and one interception. It won't take long for Cowboys fans to remember why Agent 0 was a breakout star in 2024.

Along with the return of Overshown, the Dallas defense will have Quinnen Williams, Logan Wilson, and Shavon Revel Jr. for the first time. Of the three, Williams is by far the biggest name and will have the greatest impact.

That should prove true from his first game as this final bold prediction has Williams getting into the backfield and recording two sacks. His presence as a run-stuffer will be a huge help, but his ability to rush the passer is underrated, but will be on full display in Week 11.
