Cowboys vs Raiders Prop Picks, Preview
Ashton Jeanty Over 16.5 Receiving Yards (-112)
When you’re a running back who was drafted sixth overall, there are certain expectations put upon you — Ashton Jeanty hasn’t quite hit those yet.
He hasn’t been bad at all, but he doesn’t look like one of the league’s premier RBs, partly because the team picked a running back, not another offensive lineman. That said, his ability in the receiving game is something that we’re backing on Monday night.
We’re taking Jeanty to finish with Over 16.5 receiving yards. It’s a mark that he’s only hit three times this season but he has a great chance to do it on MNF.
Only one team has allowed more receiving yards to running backs than the Cowboys, who are allowing RBs to average 45.6 yards through the air each game.
Jeanty averages 5.9 yards per catch and 2.6 receptions per game this season.
Pick: Ashton Jeanty Over 16.5 Receiving Yards (-112; DraftKings)
Geno Smith Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-106)
We saw Geno Smith experience a tough game last Thursday against the Broncos, but the good news is that he’s carrying no injury designation so we don’t need to worry about his health here.
Smith has been unspectacular for the Raiders this season, but he has a great chance to get right against a Cowboys defense that's been generous to quarterbacks this season.
Only the Bengals have given up more receiving touchdowns than the Cowboys, who have given up 2.4 per game across the whole season. That number has dropped marginally to 2.3 over their past three games, but that’s still trending upward for us taking the Over on Smith’s passing touchdowns.
Smith's only had three games with multiple touchdown passes thrown, with the most recent being four against the Jags two weeks ago, but this game presents a strong opportunity to get a fourth.
Pick: Geno Smith Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-106; BetRivers)
Dak Prescott Under 259.5 Passing Yards (-110)
The bye came at the right time for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, with the team losing to the Broncos and Cardinals before the week off.
Worryingly, we saw Prescott struggle in both games, throwing just one touchdown pass and three picks, matching his season total up until that point, across both games. He was also held to 188 and 250 yards in each game.
Prescott’s average across the season has been 257.5 yards per game, just shy of this total.
He’s broken 260 yards just four times all season and this Raiders defense has held opposing quarterbacks to some surprisingly low numbers, with Bo Nix managing just 150 yards last Thursday, and the likes of Justin Herbert kept under this number.
Pick: Dak Prescott Under 259.5 Passing Yards (-110; Bet365)
Javonte Williams Over 75.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
While Prescott might be in for a tougher night than expected, we should see Javonte Williams have a strong performance and exceed his rushing yards total here. He’s averaged 79.8 rushing yards per game and has been a constant menace for opposing defenses this season.
The Raiders are giving up an average of 106.6 rushing yards per game. That’s not a huge number, but the positive news is that Williams owns this backfield.
In the Cowboys' previous game, we saw Williams take the bulk of carries, with 15 of the 17 that weren’t Prescott. With double-digit carries in every game this season, Williams could hit his Over easily.
Pick: Javonte Williams Over 75.5 Rushing Yards (-110; Bet365)
