Two of the NFL’s most iconic franchises will take center stage on Monday Night Football when the Las Vegas Raiders host the Dallas Cowboys at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. Oddsmakers are laying -3.5 with the Cowboys on the road and a 50.5 point total.
Last week, my NFL Monday Night Football Player Props & Bets (Week 10) swept the board with a 3-0 result. The Eagles’ ugly 10-7 win over the Packers at Lambeau Field allowed us to cash Josh Jacobs over 69.5 rushing yards, Jalen Hurts over 26.5 rushing yards, and A.J. Brown under 4.5 receptions.

Best NFL Monday Night Football Player Prop Picks
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
CeeDee Lamb has seen a lot of targets go to George Pickens and Jake Ferguson in 2025. Lamb remains the Cowboys’ top target with a 23 percent target share, yet he’s only gone over 86.5 receiving yards in three of six games played.
The Raiders’ pass defense ranks just outside the top-12 units in terms of net yards gained per pass attempt at 6.1. Las Vegas has allowed 221 or fewer passing yards in five of its past six games under first-year head coach Pete Carroll.
This line is simply too high on Lamb. The emergence of Pickens and Ferguson, Javonte Williams’ workhorse role, and the Raiders’ quality pass defense, means we’re likely to see Lamb finish under 86.5 receiving yards for a third straight outing.
Las Vegas has continued to feed carries to Ashton Jeanty in recent weeks. The Raiders’ eighth overall draft pick plays behind one of the league’s worst offensive lines but he’s coming off a 60-yard outing against a stout Denver run defense.
Jeanty has recorded 13-19 carries in back-to-back games for the Raiders. He had a big run called back against the Broncos in Week 10 due to a hold. Now, he’ll face Dallas’ run defense, which ranks bottom-ten in yards per carry (4.9) and eighth in total rushing yards (1,287) this season.
Jeanty has gone over 63.5 rushing yards against three different opponents during his rookie campaign. If the Raiders want to win this game, they’ll feed Jeanty 15-20 touches, ending a three-game stretch of logging 60 or fewer rushing yards.
Geno Smith has not had much success as the Raiders’ QB1 through Week 10. Smith has thrown the second-most interceptions (12) and has fewer touchdown passes (11) through nine starts with Las Vegas.
The Cowboys’ defense offers a good bounce-back spot for Smith to regain confidence. However, he’s been held without multiple passing touchdowns in six of nine games, only going over 1.5 passing touchdowns against the Commanders, Bears, and Jaguars.
Dallas has begun to improve in its secondary, surrendering under 250 passing yards in five consecutive games. Jeanty will likely earn most of the touches in the red zone via carries, allowing Smith to function as a game manager.
Let’s wrap up by betting on Geno Smith to go under 1.5 passing touchdowns for the seventh time this season at -114 odds.
