Cowboys vs. Chargers Player Props for MNF
- Dak Prescott o1.5 Touchdowns
- Justin Herbert u277.5 Passing Yards
- Josh Palmer More Than 3.5 Receptions
Dak Prescott o1.5 Touchdowns (-120), FanDuel
Dak Prescott played one of his worst games as a professional in Week 5, throwing for only 153 passing yards while tossing three interceptions and taking three sacks. In 2022, Prescott threw multiple interceptions in five games and then threw for multiple passing touchdowns the following week on four of those occasions. That trend has held consistent with Prescott in recent seasons as well – he bounces back in a big way after playing extremely poorly. The Los Angeles Chargers have allowed the third-most passing yards per play this season, which makes them vulnerable through the air. Prescott should have a strong showing on Monday Night Football.
Justin Herbert u277.5 Passing Yards (-115), BetMGM
Dallas has been mediocre at defending the pass so far in 2023, but they have a good chance to improve on those numbers on Monday against a banged-up Justin Herbert. Through four games this fall, Herbert has gone under this number twice. Though his fractured finger is on his non-throwing hand, it remains to be seen how comfortable Herbert is in the pocket playing at less than 100 percent health. If Dallas is able to put pressure on Herbert this evening, it is likely that they make him uncomfortable enough to keep him under this market number.
NFL DFS Pick’em
Josh Palmer More Than 3.5 Receptions, PrizePicks
Josh Palmer had only three receptions last weekend, but he has been heavily targeted in recent weeks with Mike Williams on the mend. Palmer has 15 targets across his last two games, despite Herbert being limited last week through the air. Palmer has at least three receptions in each of his last three games. Facing a mediocre Dallas secondary unit, he should have every opportunity to secure four catches tonight.
