Top Eagles vs. Cowboys Week 18 Prop Picks

With a win and a little help on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys could move up to the No. 2 seed in the NFC. We give our top prop picks for this Eagles-Cowboys matchup on Saturday night.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team won't rest any of its players against the Philadelphia Eagles. Instead, Dallas will try to potentially secure the NFC's second seed with a win.

Despite his hesitation to divulge the Eagles' game plan, head coach Nick Sirianni has a history of keeping his players fresh. As part of his safety initiatives, Sirianni switched practice days on Wednesdays to walk-throughs and also had short training camp sessions.

Here are my top prop picks for the Saturday Night Football matchup between the Eagles and Cowboys (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Eagles vs. Cowboys Prop Picks

Dalton Schultz anytime TD (+210)

Schultz has led the Cowboys in receptions (22), receiving yards (203), and targets (26) during the last three games. He's scored five touchdowns inside the red zone this season, the most among all Cowboys receivers. As far as targets inside the 10-yard line, Schultz is tied with Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott for the team lead.

He also has an advantageous matchup against the Eagles. Philadelphia has allowed 11 touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season, and Schultz scored twice in their first meeting.

FanDuel has the best number on Schultz at +210 for an anytime touchdown, and his odds are as low as +175 at DraftKings. Surprisingly, Fanduel has Cedrick Wilson listed with shorter odds than Schultz, so I recommend you go grab the +210 that's available.

Ezekiel Elliott anytime TD (+110)

Elliott insists he's playing this week, and, luckily for him, his team might be the only one interested in winning this game. It's possible the Cowboys spend quite a bit of time in the red zone if the Eagles start several backups.

The star runner leads the Cowboys with 19 red-zone targets and 15 rushing attempts inside the 5-yard line, and he's likely to see even more work in close with Tony Pollard ruled out with his foot injury.

At BetMGM, Elliott is listed at -115 for an anytime touchdown compared to +110 at DraftKings. He's worth betting on any plus number up to +100, but a minus price would make me lose interest in this play.

Greg Ward last TD scorer (+2100)

The lead-up to this game has been very chaotic, as we try to figure out what each coach will do with their starters. As a result, it only seems right to have a bomber prop play to match this game's energy.

Ward has the second-most targets inside the 5-yard line among Eagles receivers. This bet assumes the Cowboys have the game in hand and the Eagles score late in the fourth quarter against soft coverage. At that point, Devonta Smith might be resting on the sidelines for the Eagles. The backdoor touchdown scenario presented here is more than feasible for the Eagles' offense.

This number was only available at FanDuel at the time of these picks, so shop around before kickoff. But it's nothing more than a bomber play, and I wouldn't bet anything significant on it.
