The upcoming Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys matchup is expected to bring plenty of fireworks, and with both teams hitting their stride, we think this is the perfect time to zero in on player prop bets.
From rushing yards to touchdowns, this game has tons of betting value.
Here are the five best player props to add to your bet slip as these two heavyweights clash in Week 6.
Odds: -110
Yes, you read that right—Jared Goff’s rushing line is set at just 0.5 yards. We didn’t see that coming, either.
While Goff isn’t exactly known for his mobility, this low line offers tremendous value. All it takes is one scramble or quarterback sneak, and he clears this number.
In fact, Goff has surpassed this mark in multiple games this season.
Considering the Cowboys’ aggressive pass rush, there’s a good chance Goff could tuck and run just once to escape pressure ultimately putting some cash in your bankroll. Betting the over on this one feels like a steal to us.
Odds: -120
David Montgomery has been a workhorse for the Lions this season. With that, we think there’s no reason to think that changes against a Cowboys defense that’s been vulnerable to the run.
Montgomery is averaging over 67 rushing yards per game and has hit this line in three of his four starts!
Dallas ranks in the bottom 10 in rushing yards allowed, which looks great for Montgomery’s chances of grinding out another productive day on the ground.
Expect the Lions to lean on Montgomery to control the clock and wear down the Cowboys’ defense.
Odds: -240
Dak Prescott has been on fire — recently. He surpassed 350 yards in two of his last three games.
The Lions’ pass defense, while improved, has still shown quite a bit of vulnerability, allowing 258.3 passing yards per game (ranking 27th in the league).
With Prescott’s hot hand and the Lions’ tendency to give up yards through the air, betting on him to go over 250 yards seems like a strong pick to us.
If the Cowboys fall behind early, Prescott will be forced to throw even more, giving him plenty of opportunities to cash this bet.
Odds: -115
If you’ve followed along on social media then you know the Jahmyr Gibbs hype has been growing, and for good reason.
The Lions’ dynamic rookie running back has been electric, making big plays both in the run game and as a pass-catcher.
Gibbs has averaged 6.1 yards per carry over his last two games. He is becoming more integrated into the offense each week.
With the Cowboys’ defense struggling against versatile backs, Gibbs should see plenty of work, especially with Montgomery handling the bruising carries.
The combination of his speed and Dallas’ shaky run defense makes the over on 57.5 rushing yards a good bet to toss onto your bet slip.
Odds: -125
Though CeeDee Lamb hasn’t hit 100 receiving yards in a game yet this season, he’s been a consistent target for Dak Prescott. He’s just been struggling for yards after the catch with only 175 on the season.
Lamb has seven or more targets in every game so far, and with the Lions' defense ranking 27th in passing yards allowed, there’s every reason to believe he’ll find the end zone for an anytime touchdown in this exciting game.
His ability to separate from defenders, combined with Detroit’s secondary struggles, makes him a prime candidate for an anytime touchdown.
At -125, this bet offers solid value, especially considering the high-scoring potential of this game.
On top of an exciting and what we think will be a high-scoring game, there’s plenty of value to be had in this Lions vs. Cowboys matchup. Both teams feature star players who can rack up the stats and that’s why we’ve picked the “over” on all of these picks. Yes, we’re optimistic, but it’s easy to see why.
Whether it’s betting on Goff to sneak in a simple rushing yard, Montgomery and Gibbs to pound the rock, or Prescott and Lamb lighting up the Lions’ secondary, these props offer strong bets you won’t want to miss out on.
