Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: CeeDee Lamb / Over Receiving Yards / 85.5 at -115 / 72% / Lamb’s high target share (28% usage rate) exploits Giants’ secondary allowing 7.2 yards per target recently; Cowboys’ passing efficiency supports over in divisional matchups.

Player Prop #2: Devin Singletary / Over Rushing Yards / 62.5 at -110 / 65% / Singletary faces a Cowboys run defense vulnerable to inside zones (4.8 YPC allowed last three games); his 5.2 YPC average in home starts aligns with over probability.

Player Prop #3: Dak Prescott / Over Passing Yards / 245.5 at -112 / 70% / Prescott’s 68% completion rate and 8.1 YPA against NFC East defenses, combined with Giants’ pass rush down due to injuries, favors over; simulations project 278 average.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Cowboys, aligning with sharp money distribution and stable line movement, making a follow strategy optimal rather than fading. Mathematical edges confirm value in Dallas outcomes, with no strong contrarian signals from RLM or disparities. Overall game scoring outlook leans low, as both offenses face stout defenses—Giants allowing 18.3 PPG recently—pointing to a grind-it-out affair under the total.
