Let’s dive into the top prop bets for this marquee matchup between the Cowboys and Lions on Thursday Night Football.
Best Prop Bets for Thursday Night Football: Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions (Dec. 4)
Dak Prescott: 3+ Touchdown Passes (+220)
The Lions have conceded the second-most passing TDs (24) in the NFL this season, and now they’ll have to deal with Dak Prescott and the surging Cowboys offense rolling into Detroit. It’s not just the big-name QBs burning this defense, either; over their last five games, four different quarterbacks (including two backups) have managed to throw multiple TDs against the Lions. Jordan Love had just two TD passes over his previous four outings, then strutted into Ford Field on Thanksgiving and dropped four on this secondary.
Prescott comes in red-hot, tossing at least two TDs in three straight games – and in seven of his last nine. Williams has gone ice cold near the goal line, so if Dallas is putting up points, it’s going to come through the air.
Plus, Dak’s top weapons get to tee off against a Detroit secondary that’s been picked apart lately. That’s enough for me to bump this prop up from the standard 1.5 (-180) line. And if you need just one more reason to get on board, this game features a tasty 53.5-point total. Fire up the over on 3+ touchdown passes for Dak.
George Pickens: Over 77.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Pickens has smashed this 77.5-yard line in seven consecutive games, and he’s done it in eight of his last nine. The Lions’ secondary is looking even shakier than their season stats suggest, and it’s showing lately, as Wan’Dale Robinson (9-156-1) and Dontayvion Wicks (6-94-2) just torched them over the past two weeks.
And here’s a gem for all you stat nerds, even if it stings for Steelers fans. Pickens (1,142 yards) has outgained the entire Pittsburgh wide receiver group (1,114 yards) this season.
Jameson Williams: Anytime TD (+100)
There are plenty of ways to back Williams tonight, but the anytime touchdown prop jumps off the page for me. Sam LaPorta is done for the year, and Amon-Ra St. Brown is either sidelined or basically just a traffic cone decoy after that injury. Even so, Williams absolutely erupted on Thanksgiving, posting career-bests in both catches (7) and yards (144) after ARSB went down early.
With Dallas beefing up their defensive front at the deadline, Detroit’s best shot at moving the chains is through the air. Even with all their injuries, the Lions are somehow favored by three. Williams has been on fire lately, finding pay dirt four times in his last five outings. Don’t forget, the Cowboys have surrendered four scores to wideouts over their last two games, including a pair on Thanksgiving to Rashee Rice, who profiles similarly to Williams. This spot is just too good to pass up.
