The Packers travel to AT&T Stadium to face the Cowboys tonight, and there are a number of enticing SNF player props that we can target in this game: George Pickens, Jordan Love and Matthew Golden.

The Packers have one of the best defenses and have only improved this season, thanks to their SNF opponents, the Cowboys, trading them Micah Parsons.

That said, George Pickens’ reception line feels low at 4.5, with some books already pushing the line up to 5.5, which still feels very attainable by the Cowboys’ wideout.

Pickens has had 13 receptions this season, with five in each of his past two games. However, over the past two weeks, he has seen nine targets per game.

Now with CeeDee Lamb sidelined, there are a lot of targets to be shared around the offense.

It’s time for Pickens to be the alpha that he believes he is and with the Packers strong favorites, we should also see Dak Prescott airing out the ball a lot to get them back into the game.

The Packers are strong favorites for a reason, the Cowboys’ defense has been absolutely woeful against the pass, which is hardly a surprise when you lose one of the best pass rushers in the game.

The Cowboys have struggled to generate real pressure on quarterbacks this season and have given up more yards through the air than any other team in the NFL.

Worryingly, they sit second in passing touchdowns allowed this season, having given up seven through three games, one behind the Bears.

That’s an average of over two passing touchdowns per game and given that Love has had two touchdown passes in two of three games this season, we should see him throwing multiple scores on SNF.

Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen both Caleb Williams and Russell Wilson throw two or more touchdowns against this defense, and Love should be next to add his name to the list.

Matthew Golden Over 45.5 Receiving Yards (-118)

The Matthew Golden breakout is about to happen, so make sure you have your stocks ready!

Golden has only exceeded 45.5 receiving yards once this season but that was last week when he put up 52 in Cleveland. He caught all four of his targets and averaged 13 yards per catch.

Now Golden faces a defense who have allowed more passing yards than any other in the league, and that has allowed both Malik Nabers and Luther Burden to 100+ yard games in the past two weeks.

Golden’s separation has been elite so far this season and he’s primed to have a big performance soon.

This is the perfect spot for that breakout. I’d take this line confidently into the 50s, as well as being tempted to have a sprinkle on multiple higher alternate lines.

We’re doubling down on Packers’ 23rd overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. What was most encouraging about last week’s game was the increase in usage that Golden saw.

He saw a season-high in both receptions and targets, as well as carries with him being handed the rock on three occasions.

It’s clear that the team are looking to get the ball into the hands of this young playmaker and it’s only a matter of time until he rewards the coaching staff by finding the end zone.

As mentioned above, only one team has allowed more receiving touchdowns this season than the Cowboys, and when you’re looking at the Packers’ pass catchers, it’s Golden that offers the best mixture of opportunity and value.
