Best Colts-Cowboys Player Prop Bets
Dak Prescott UNDER 31.5 Pass Attempts -114 (FanDuel)
Dak Prescott has led the Cowboys to a 4-2 record in his starts with backup quarterback Cooper Rush appearing in three games due to Prescott missing time with a finger injury sustained in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. Prescott had his fair share of turnovers this season, so look for running back duo Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard to lead the Cowboys to a victory at home against a Colts team that is a 10.5-point underdog.
Dallas has taken some pressure off of Prescott this year. Head coach Mike McCarthy has involved Tony Pollard much more in the running game, along with Ezekiel Elliott. Prescott averaged over 37 pass attempts last season, but that has dipped to 30 this season. In all four of the Cowboys win with Prescott under center, he’s stayed under this total in all of them. Elliott and Pollard continue to see over 15 carries per game and will have a field day on the ground against a Colts team that allowed 172 yards rushing against the underwhelming Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football last week.
Colts quarterback Matt Ryan looks to be on his last legs and will have no choice but to feed Jonathan Taylor. The Colts will look to slow the game down by running it with one of the best young backs in the league to give themselves a chance in this one.
Ezekiel Elliott OVER 0.5 Touchdowns +120 (FanDuel)
Elliott shined on Thanksgiving, carrying 16 times for 93 yards and a touchdown. He’s reached the end zone in four straight games and both games since his extended stay on the injury report. Elliott had multiple runs of over 15 yards behind one of the best offensive lines in the league.
Indianapolis gave up touchdowns on Monday to Steelers running backs Najee Harris and Benny Snell Jr., so look for the Cowboys to continue to ride Elliott, especially in the red zone.
