Oakland looks to correct many mistakes from its 20-10 to Arizona last week when Derek Carr was a healthy scratch and EJ Manuel played the entire first half and completed 10-of-12 passes for 109 yards. Connor Cook took over in the second half and went 10-for-21 for 82 yards. The Raiders managed 72 rushing yards from six different players and were only outgained 291-252 in total net yards. Jack Del Rio is 24-21 straight-up and 23-20-2 ATS in his preseason career. Los Angeles beat Dallas 13-10 for the Rams' first cover since 2014 in preseason action. Dak Prescott, Dez Bryant and Ezekiel Elliott did not play for the Cowboys and Travis Coons kicked the winning field goal with 6:11 left. Jared Goff completed three-of-four passes for 34 yards in eight snaps and Sean Mannion went 18-for-25 for 144 yards. The Rams were last in the league in points scored and yards gained last season and it doesn't look any more promising after Saturday's performance. New coach Sean McVay, former offensive coordinator for the Redskins, will need time to develop some sort of rhythm with this offense. Play the Raiders.
