Thursday Night Football will be played for the final time in the 2022 season as the Dallas Cowboys visit a very different-looking Tennessee Titans team to start Week 17. Check out below for our favorite Thursday Night Football prop picks based on the best NFL odds.

The Cowboys are peaking at just the right time. They have won five of their last six matchups including a big divisional win last week against the first-place Philadelphia Eagles. They are healthy and scoring points like crazy. Dallas enters Week 17 as the five seed in the NFC playoffs.

On the other hand, Tennessee has lost five straight games heading into Thursday night. The Titans just watched as the Jacksonville Jaguars took over first place in the AFC South. They have struggled offensively all season and will play this game without Derrick Henry and with third-stringer Josh Dobbs as their quarterback.

Here are our best Cowboys vs. Titans Thursday Night Football prop picks for Week 17 (odds via Barstool Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, and Caesars Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Cowboys vs. Titans Odds

Thursday Night Football Props

Titans team touchdowns Over 1.5 (+112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tennessee has had its fair share of frustrations scoring points this season. Entering Week 17, the Titans are averaging the sixth-fewest points per game in the league (17.9). However, one thing they have been able to accomplish is to score at least two touchdowns in a game with consistency. The Titans have three straight contests in which they registered two six-point scores. In fact, they failed to reach this mark only four times this season. 

Dallas started the 2022 campaign with a stingy defense, surrendering just one touchdown in each of its first five games. The Cowboys softened as the season progressed and now have given up 15 total touchdowns over their last five matchups. In each game, their opposition has crossed the goal line at least twice.

Micah Parsons to record a sack & Cowboys to win (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As the former frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year, Parsons enters Thursday night fifth in the league with 13 sacks. He’s managed to bring down the opposing quarterback in seven games this year. The Dallas linebacker has had six games in which he registered two sacks. 

Parsons has a more than favorable matchup this week against the Titans. Tennessee has surrendered an average of 2.9 sacks per game this season, and they allowed their quarterback to get sacked 18 times in their last four games. Nine times this season they have given up three or more sacks in a game.

Cowboys second-half spread -6.5 (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Cowboys have excelled in the second half this season. Dallas has averaged 15.1 points per game after halftime so far this year. Defensively, they are allowing only 8.4 points in the second frame of their contests. They also covered this spread in each of their last six games.

The second half has not been kind to the Titans. They average 12.3 first-half points per game this season, however, that number plummets to 5.6 after halftime. They're also giving up 11.1 points per game in the second half. Tennessee failed to cover this spread in two of its last four matchups.

DraftKings has juiced this to -120 but is giving us a 5.5-point spread. If you are not averse to paying this much for the extra point, taking this bet as well could help you cash just a little easier.
