Best Prop Bets for Commanders vs. Cowboys

  • Dak Prescott OVER 275.5 passing yards (-114)
  • Brandin Cooks OVER 36.5 receiving yards (-119)
  • Micah Parsons OVER 1 Sacks (-175)

Dak Prescott OVER 275.5 passing yards (-114)

Dak Prescott is in a great position to torch this Commanders' defense.

Their defense is atrocious, ranking 29th in opponent EPA per play and 28th in opponent yards per play. Most notably, they're 30th in opponent EPA per dropback and 28th in opponent yards per pass attempt. There's no reason why Prescott won't be able to carve them up like a Thanksgiving Day turkey.

Brandin Cooks OVER 36.5 receiving yards (-119)

Brandin Cooks' role in the Cowboys' offense has increased in recent weeks. He has gone over 36.5 receiving yards in three of his last four games including a massive 173 yards against the Giants a couple of weeks ago. I don't understand why his passing yards total is at such a low total for Thanksgiving. I'll take the OVER.

Micah Parsons OVER 1 Sacks (-175)

The Commanders have given up 4.6 sacks per game this season, the second most in the NFL. Parsons is coming off a game where he got 2.5 sacks against the Panthers and he seems to be peaking at the right time. I think there's little doubt he can record a sack against Sam Howell on Thanksgiving.
