Cowboys vs. Patriots Player Prop
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle is currently 27th among running backs in rushing attempts this season, accumulating 71 yards across three games so far. As he enters this week’s game, his average yards per carry stands at 4.
Dowdle is up against the league’s 9th-ranked rush defense, so I’m going to be getting my bet down on the under for Rico Dowdle’s prop of 13.5 rushing yards.
The Prop: Rico Dowdle Under 13.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Cowboys vs. Patriots Predictions
For this matchup, I like New England to cover as 6.5-point underdogs. New England is coming off a game in which they ran the ball well against the Jets, and are going to look to slow this game down by keeping it on the ground. Look for this to be a closer game than expected, making New England a good play on the spread.
