The Dallas Cowboys have proven to us that they’re more than willing to chuck the ball all over the yard with Tony Pollard looking a bit dusty this season. So, we’re going to load up our Thanksgiving NFL parlay plate with a 4-leg Commanders-Cowboys same game parlay that features ONLY the Dallas passing attack.
Commanders-Cowboys Same Game Parlay Bet for Thanksgiving
Dak Prescott Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (NFL Player Prop)
After chucking a pair of touchdowns against the Panthers in Week 11, Dak Prescott has now thrown for two or more touchdowns in four straight games. Truth be told, it probably could’ve been three touchdowns but the Cowboys wanted to appease Pollard and get his spirits up after chugging most of this season.
The Cowboys have also thrown the ball 30 or more times in five consecutive games, and have clearly made a more concerted effort to let Prescott cook.
Washington is allowing the most passing touchdowns per game this season, and this sets up as another spot the Cowboys probably run up the score.
Jake Ferguson Over 3.5 Receptions (NFL Player Prop)
One of the biggest beneficiaries of the Cowboys allowing Prescott to chuck the ball around more this season has been Dallas tight end Jake Ferguson.
He’s had six games this season with 5 or more targets (5, 7, 7, 10), and caught four or more passes five times this season.
The Commanders pass defense is basically nonexistent, allowing over 270 yards passing per game. Of course, a lot of looks will go to CeeDee Lamb, but Ferguson seems to be a solid secondary option for Prescott. I like the OVER on 3.5 receptions in this spot.
Jake Ferguson Anytime TD (NFL Player Prop)
As good as Ferguson has been just as an overall receiving option, he’s been arguably the No. 1 target near the end zone for Dak Prescott.
In fact, no other player in the NFL has more end zone targets than Ferguson, who has 21. He’s only caught 4 of those targets, so that number surely has to increase at some point. Why not this week?
I think his anytime touchdown bet at better than +200 is also a great stand-alone bet this week.
Brandin Cooks Over 2.5 Receptions (NFL Player Prop)
The OddsShopper Prop Tool really likes this OVER 2.5 receptions for Brandin Cooks in this matchup.
The projections currently have Cooks listed with a 60% expected win rate of clearing the 2.5-reception mark. He’s already cashed this bet 5 times this season, and we’ve already discussed the Washington woes in the secondary.
It’s a low number, and with the Prop Tool backing us, we’re firing it up with confidence.
