Cowboys vs. 49ers

Sunday, Oct. 8
8:20 p.m. ET
NBC

Brock Purdy

Over 6.5 Rushing Yards (-109)

Through four games we’ve seen the Cowboys give up 141 rushing yards to quarterbacks. That’s the second-highest mark in the league.

Those yards have come against Daniel Jones, Joshua Dobbs, Mac Jones and Zach Wilson, with three of those four not really renowned for their rushing prowess.

Purdy isn’t well known for it either, but he’s had at least two rushing attempts in each game this season. With the Cowboys defense in his face, I think we’ll see him try it a few times and cover over 6.5 rushing yards.

Pick: Brock Purdy Over 6.5 Rushing Yards

Tony Pollard

Over 3.5 Receptions (+125)

There’s not many ways to attack this 49ers defense — like the Cowboys, they are amongst the very best in the NFL.

That said, only four teams have allowed more receptions to running backs than the 49ers, and one of those teams is the Bears, who have already played this week.

Pollard is an elite pass-catcher and despite only breaking the 3.5 line once this season, it’s worth noting that he caught seven of eight targets in Week 2 against the Jets when it was a clear part of the Cowboys’ offensive plan.

I’d expect to see that again on SNF.

Pick: Tony Pollard Over 3.5 Receptions (+125)

Brandon Aubrey

Over 6.5 Kicking Points (+112)

With two great defenses it can be hard to find exciting player prop angles. However, one prop that does interest me is Cowboys rookie kicker Brandon Aubrey to get over 6.5 kicking points. This is something he’s done in every single game this season.

The Cowboys have struggled in the red zone at times this year and have attempted 13 field goals through four games, with Aubrey nailing all of them.

Not only that, but he’s converted all but one of his 10 extra points. All we need here is one PAT and two field goals to hit the over, which feels very doable.

Pick: Brandon Aubrey Over 6.5 Kicking Points (+112)
