Eagles vs. Cowboys Best NFL Prop Bets
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
- Saquon Barkley OVER 73.5 Rushing Yards (-112)
- Jake Ferguson UNDER 4.5 Receptions (-110)
- A.J. Brown Anytime Touchdown (+135)
Saquon Barkley OVER 73.5 Rushing Yards (-112)
In this week's edition of the Player Prop Countdown, I put in Saquon Barkley to go over his rushing yards total as my No. 7-ranked player prop for Week 12:
Saquon Barkley is another great buy-low candidate ahead of the Eagles' Week 12 game against the Cowboys. The Dallas defense has been bad this season, including ranking 29th in opponent rush EPA and last in opponent rush success rate. There's no denying Barkley has had a less-than-stellar season in 2025, but he could be set up for a breakout performance on Sunday.
Jake Ferguson UNDER 30.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
The Eagles have done a fantastic job of defending against tight ends this season. They have allowed the third fewest receptions to tight ends and the second fewest receiving yards. With that in mind, I'll bet the UNDER on Jake Ferguson's receiving yards total. Back in Week 1, the Cowboys' tight end recorded just 23 receiving yards against the Eagles. Let's hope for a repeat performance.
A.J. Brown Anytime Touchdown (+135)
No team has given up more receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers than the Dallas Cowboys. That means this is a perfect time for the disgruntled A.J. Brown to be fed the ball early and often by Jalen Hurts, hopefully resulting in at least one touchdown. It's time to buy low on the Eagles' star receiver.
