There is an excellent primetime matchup coming our way with the Vikings hosting the Cowboys. And the stars are shining bright in our look at the best NFL player props to wager on Sunday night.
Kirk Cousins – Over 283.5 Passing Yards
When the scoreboard lights up in Minnesota, Kirk Cousins is usually responsible. In Week 6, the Vikings beat the Panthers 34-28, and Cousins had 373 passing yards. When the Vikings beat the Seahawks 30-17, he threw for 323.
Add those numbers to what Dallas has given up through the air: 379 to Tom Brady, 338 to Justin Herbert, 326 to Jalen Hurts, and 301 to Sam Darnold. So this game should be a good one for Cousins.
To keep pace with Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, the Vikings will turn it up offensively, which will put Cousins over 300 yards passing. This is one of the better NFL player props within this game.
CeeDee Lamb – Over 76.5 Receiving Yards
Amari Cooper is the steady presence at wide receiver for the Cowboys, but CeeDee Lamb has become the home run hitter.
In high-scoring games, he has been money: 149 yards against the Patriots, 104 yards against the Bucs, and 84 yards against the Giants. The Vikings have also given up big games to Ja’Marr Chase, DK Metcalf, and Rondale Moore.
Lamb has gone over 76 yards in four of six games this season, and he’ll make it five of seven against the Vikings.
Dalvin Cook – Under 88.5 Rushing Yards
You hate to go against a star like Dalvin Cook in a primetime game against such an important opponent. He is likely to do everything he can to rise to the occasion.
This bet is more about the Cowboys and how well they have played against the run. Damien Harris went for 101 in Week 6, but in the five games before, not a single running back went for more than 57.
Cook is a better back than what Dallas has been facing, but his production rises and falls from week to week. And to keep up the Cowboys’ offense, we’re going to see Minnesota throw the ball more.
Don’t be surprised if a number of those passes go to Cook, and they will only serve to keep his total rushing low.
He’s gone under in two of four games this season, and he makes it three of five on Sunday night.
