Top 3 Player Props

• Player Prop #1: [Bo Nix / Over 232.5 Passing Yards / 232.5 / -114 / 72% / Nix threw for 297 yards last week in explosive 4th quarter; Cowboys allow 260.3 pass YPG (most in NFL) and 2.3 TD passes/game—offensive efficiency (7.2 YPA) vs. Dallas’ 28th-ranked secondary supports over in high-altitude boost.]
• Player Prop #2: [Dak Prescott / Under 245.5 Passing Yards / 245.5 / -110 / 68% / Prescott averages 228 YPG on road with injuries thinning receivers; Broncos lead NFL with 34 sacks and top-5 pressure rate (42%), forcing quick throws and limiting deep shots—defensive havoc rate (18%) caps his output.]
• Player Prop #3: [CeeDee Lamb / Over 70.5 Receiving Yards / 70.5 / -115 / 70% / Lamb hits this in 7/8 games with 85% target share; Broncos’ man coverage weaknesses (allows 8.1 YAC/reception) and secondary injuries expose them—Dallas’ 44% 3rd-down rate sustains drives for volume.]

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans Cowboys due to media hype around their top-ranked offense (390.6 YPG), but sharp money and reverse line movement to Broncos signal professional resistance, amplified by Dallas’ injury woes (walking wounded per final reports) and Denver’s full health. Math favors fading the public, as Broncos’ 4th-ranked scoring defense (20.1 PPG allowed) clashes with Cowboys’ altitude struggles, projecting a controlled, low-scoring affair under 51.5. Overall game outlook trends defensive, with Broncos’ home EPA edge (+1.4) dominating.

🔮 Recommended Play

Fade the public on Broncos -3.5 — Sharp alignment, simulation cover probability, and contextual edges (injuries, weather-neutral 52°F in Denver with light winds) confirm highest win probability at 54%.
