The Cleveland Browns held a banged-up Cincinnati Bengals team to just three points in their home opener last season, a feat they hope to replicate when the Dallas Cowboys invade the Dawg Pound on Sunday. 

But a more challenging task awaits, as the Cowboys produced the fourth-best overall offense last season, according to PFF. 

The Browns, who earned the second-best defensive DVOA, were absolutely dominant at home last campaign, going 8-1 against the spread. 

Dallas is over the moon about its star receiver featuring in the opener, and you can see how we believe he'll fare in our CeeDee Lamb player props.

My Cowboys vs. Browns player props focus on Dak Prescott, David Njoku, and Myles Garrett. The Browns enter the contest, which kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX), as 2.5-point favorites at our best NFL betting sites

Cowboys vs. Browns player props: Sunday

Odds as of Saturday and subject to change.

NFL picks made Saturday; odds subject to change.

Dak Prescott Under 261.5 passing yards (-115) 

Prescott faces a daunting challenge at the Dawg Pound.

The Browns allowed the fewest passing yards against per game last season (164.7). They boast a stacked secondary that consists of Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome II, Martin Emerson Jr., Cameron Mitchell, Myles Harden, and Kahlef Hailassie. 

The aforementioned players are healthy and good to go for the opener. 

Prescott wasn't his usual gunslinging self on the road last season, where he threw for fewer than 262 yards in six of nine contests. His only road Overs came against the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, and Los Angeles Chargers, who fielded the NFL's worst passing defenses.

DraftKings is alone among our best sports betting sites while offering this prop at 261.5 yards. The others are featuring between 244.5 and 249.5 yards, which Prescott is more likely to eclipse. 

The -115 odds will yield a profit of $8.70 on a winning $10 bet.

Phil Wood agrees in his Cowboys vs. Browns prediction, and is even confident enough to back the Under at the lower number.

David Njoku Over 41.5 receiving yards (-113) 

Njoku's power and presence should come to the fore against the Cowboys, especially as Deshaun Watson attempts to find his long-lost groove in the pocket.

Watson will look to his most reliable targets, which include Njoku. 

Njoku produced at least 44 receiving yards in his last four outings and seven of the previous eight. He hit the Over on this prop in 11 of 16 contests last season. 

Dallas was decent at limiting tight end production last year, but the team still gave up 50.8 yards per game while ranking 15th. 

The -113 odds at FanDuel will result in an $8.85 profit on a winning $10 bet.

Myles Garrett to record a sack (-160) 

I needed to search far and wide to find this prop.

Admittedly, the odds are longer than Prescott's wait for a contract extension. Still, it's a prop worth backing, because the terror Garrett will line up against two rookies (Tyler Guyton and center Cooper Beebe) on Dallas' offensive line.

While the Cowboys will do their best to avoid that mismatch and probably double-team Garrett, it will be challenging to prevent him from getting to Prescott at least once. 

Garrett registered 14 sacks across 16 games last season, and he'll be extra motivated after failing to tally a sack in five of six contests to end the previous campaign. 

A $10 bet at Caesars will yield a $6.25 profit.
