NFL Week 6 Player Prop Bet Picks & Predictions: Sunday Night Football (Cowboys vs. Eagles)
Dallas Goedert Over 45.5 Receiving Yards (-113, BetRivers)
Dallas Goedert has seen a significant increase in production with Jalen Hurts at quarterback and since the departure of Zach Ertz. In his last ten games, Goedert has surpassed 45.5 receiving yards in eight of them (80%). Goedert has averaged over 45.5 receiving yards per game going back to the 2020 season. This season alone, Goedert is averaging a staggering 67 receiving yards per game. It is important to note that Dallas ranks in the top ten in passing defense; however, I believe Hurts will utilize Goedert as a safety valve. I will not be surprised if Goedert finishes as the Eagles leading receiver on Sunday night.
CeeDee Lamb Under 62.5 Receiving Yards (-115, BetRivers)
CeeDee Lamb has managed to remain relevant despite having a backup quarterback throwing him the ball. However, I believe that his recent production will take a hit on Sunday night. Lamb has surpassed 62.5 receiving yards in just four of his last ten games (40%). Despite immense talent, Lamb only has a career 64.3 receiving yards per game. On top of this, the Eagles rank 12th in the NFL in receiving yards per game allowed to wide receivers with 144.8. Star cornerback, Darius Slay, should have no problem limiting Lamb just as he did to Justin Jefferson earlier in the season.
Jalen Hurts Under 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-150, BetRivers)
While this Eagles offense has been nothing short of explosive to start the season, they cannot manage to throw passing touchdowns. In five games this season, Jalen Hurts has managed to throw for two or more touchdowns just once (20%). Furthermore, Hurts has failed to throw a touchdown pass in 60% of his games this season despite averaging 29 points in those three games. Additionally, the Cowboys defense has been rock solid to start the season. Dallas has allowed just one passing touchdown or less in every single game this season. Not to mention the Cowboys have faced the likes of Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, and Matthew Stafford, all of which are considered better pure passers than Hurts. I would be surprised if Hurts records two or more passing touchdowns Sunday night.
Jalen Hurts Anytime TD Scorer (+115, DraftKings)
Now Jalen Hurts rushing ability is a completely different story. Through five games this season Jalen Hurts has six total rushing touchdowns. Additionally, Hurts has run for at least one touchdown in four out of five games this season (80%). On top of this Hurts leads the NFL in rushing attempts within the five yard line with ten total attempts accounting for 83.3% of all his rushing touchdowns this season. Despite a stout defense, the Cowboys actually rank 26th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed to the quarterback position. Needless to say, I see no reason why the Eagles would deviate from utilizing Hurts as their primary goal line back. I’ll be backing the running back playing quarterback and bet on Hurts to record at least one rushing touchdown.
