Key Players
- Dak Prescott is averaging 302.2 pass yards (4th in the league) and will match up with Kirk Cousins who is averaging 294.8 pass yards (7th in the league) per game. While no pass yard props are available for Prescott yet, PointsBet is offering action on Cousins at 282.5, which aligns right about his average pass yards per game
- Dalvin Cook (ranked 3rd in rush yards) and Ezekiel Elliott (ranked 4th in rush yards) will cover plenty of ground in today’s game. Rushing props are available at PointsBet for both Cook (o/u 86.5 rush yards) and Elliott (o/u 75.5 rush yards). The better value may be Elliott with his prop coming in 11.3 OVER his normal game average
- Two of the league’s top players in receiving yards will take the field in Justin Jefferson (ranked 6th) and CeeDee Lamb (ranked 10th). The prop line (o/u 62.5) for Lamb (avg 82.8 rec yards) might be tempting, but PointsBet is also offering a prop of o/u 85.5 receiving yards for Jefferson (avg 90.3 rec yards)
