9) Ashton Jeanty vs. Dallas
There is a scenario where Geno Smith and the Raiders pull off a Monday night upset by beating Dallas in Las Vegas. I’m not saying it’s likely, but they do have the same puncher’s chance that Mike Tyson had in his rematch against Evander Holyfield many years ago, right here in this city. Let’s just hope the game doesn’t get canceled after Geno bites somebody’s ear off. All jokes aside, the Raiders will rely heavily on their rookie running back, who should find space to run against a Cowboys defense ranked 28th in the league against the run. The additions of Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson might help Dallas somewhat, but I don’t believe it transforms them into a shutdown defense.
10) James Cook vs. Tampa Bay
Cook has had some big games this year, but other weeks he’s been a disappointment. In nine games this season, he has scored over 20 points four times and has also scored single digits three times. Last week was one of those single-digit games, as he was stuck in second gear all day, just like the rest of the Buffalo offense in a game they lost to Miami 30-13. I think the whole Bills team bounces back at home this week against the Buccaneers. This should be a close, back-and-forth game, and I like Cook’s chances to get back into the end zone for the first time in his last three games.
