Vikings vs. Cowboys Player Props for Sunday Night Football: NFL Week 15

My best Vikings vs. Cowboys player props for Sunday Night Football focus on Dak Prescott, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison. The Cowboys are a 5.5-point betting favorite ahead of kickoff from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, at 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC).

The Vikings have the third-worst passing attack in the league, but can quarterback JJ McCarthy and his receivers take advantage of the worst pass defense in football? Read on for my best picks for this game, and for more coverage of Sunday Night Football, check out our NFL Week 15 predictions.

Dak Prescott player prop: Under 266.5 passing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Prescott leads the league with 3,637 passing yards. He’s thrown for at least 320 yards in three consecutive games, topping 300 yards five times this season. However, he’s managed at least 267 yards in just six games, making him overvalued in this matchup.

The Vikings are allowing 172.3 passing yards per game, which ranks fourth in the NFL. They are giving up 10.9 yards per completion, but they rank 11th in opponent completion percentage, and they’re allowing just 6.9 yards per attempt.

With the Vikings averaging just 19.6 points per game, which is sixth-worst in the NFL, I expect the Cowboys to build an early lead, resulting in fewer pass attempts for Prescott in a deceivingly tough matchup. BetMGM’s price of -115 implies a 53.49% chance this Under hits. A $10 bet would profit $8.70.

Justin Jefferson player prop: Over 60.5 receiving yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jefferson has just 15 yards in his last two games combined, as he now has fewer than 50 yards in five of his last six games. It makes sense to be worried about Jefferson with JJ McCarthy throwing him the ball, but this is one of the best Vikings vs. Cowboys player props because of the matchup.

The Cowboys have the worst pass defense in football. As a team, they’re allowing 255.2 passing yards per game. Additionally, they’re allowing 11.6 yards per reception, which ranks fifth-worst in the league. Though Jefferson hasn’t caught more than five passes in a game since Week 8, the Cowboys have given up 11 40-yard passes, so he won’t need a lot of catches to hit this Over.

BetMGM’s price of -115 implies a 53.49% chance that this Over hits. A $10 bet would profit $8.70.

Jordan Addison player prop: Anytime touchdown scorer (+260) ⭐⭐⭐

The Cowboys are the third-highest-scoring team in football, but for as bad as the Vikings have been this year, the defense is allowing just 2.2 touchdowns per game, tied for the eighth-fewest in the league. Therefore, rather than backing a Cowboy to score, I’m picking Addison.

The Cowboys have allowed 29 passing touchdowns this season, which is tied for the most in the league. Addison has caught three touchdowns this season. Though he hasn’t caught one since Week 11, he’s been McCarthy’s favorite target in recent weeks, catching nine of the 17 passes thrown his way over the last two games.

With many opportunities expected in a great matchup, this bet365 price of +260 is worth taking a chance on. The price implies a 27.40% chance that he scores, and a $10 bet would pay $26.
