The run of uninspiring primetime games continues through Week 11 and crash-lands with a Monday Night Football matchup in the form of the Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) heading to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders. Both teams sit well below .500 and the playoff aspirations for Dallas are dwindling. They currently sit 11th in the NFC but 2nd in the NFC East. Las Vegas is not having the first season under HC Pete Carroll go as planned, but a strong finish could build hope for next year with a new QB under center. Let’s see if we can make lemonade out of this one with my best Cowboys vs Raiders player prop bets for MNF.

Best Cowboys vs Raiders player prop bet for MNF: Dak Prescott 240+ passing yards & CeeDee Lamb 6+ receptions (-105)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing. 1u
The lines for this Dallas offense are not where I wanted them to be in order to pull the trigger on a 1u base line. Preferably, I’d get Lamb at over 6.5 receptions for plus-money odds and it’s at -131. For Dak, I’d want him at 251.5 passing yards, but he’s 255.5 on most books.
For both, the matchup is very much in their favor. Lamb is targeted at the 17th-highest rate in the league amongst WRs against zone coverage and the Raiders play zone at the 3rd-highest rate in the league according to PFF. This trend carries over into Prescott’s success against zone coverage, ranking 2nd in efficiency and owns PFF’s 5th-highest grade against single-high coverage shells, which Las Vegas runs at the 7th-highest rate in the league. It’s unfortunate we’re not over even money on this, but considering the outcomes are correlated, I feel comfortable taking -105 on this Cowboys vs Raiders player prop parlay.
