Sunday Night Football for NFL Week 4 on September 28 showcases a marquee matchup as the Cowboys battle the Packers.
For my top NFL PrizePicks and Underdog plays, I’m spotlighting Luke Schoonmaker, KaVontae Turpin, and Matthew Golden under the lights.
Luke Schoonmaker
More Than 1.5 Receiving Yards
CeeDee Lamb's absence is a massive hit to the Cowboys' passing attack. However, after he departed last week, we saw Dak Prescott find a new safety valve in tight end Jake Ferguson.
Ferguson became the top target by far, and while he is someone the Packers will focus on, Ferguson is unlikely to play 100 percent of the snaps, especially if he continues to get a ton of looks.
Backup tight end Luke Schoonmaker got in on the action as he had one catch for five yards. He's been targeted at least once in every game this season, and we should see his role expand as the tight ends are counted on more in the offense.
He should surpass this total if he gets at least one reception.
KaVontae Turpin
Less Than 31.5 Receiving Yards
Next, we are staying on the Cowboys' passing attack, but now we turn our attention to KaVontae Turpin.
Turpin is now the No. 4 receiving option in the offense, and we've seen him do a lot with little volume.
However, the Packers have been the best defense in the league at limiting big plays through the air. Green Bay ranks first in yards per pass allowed, and with Turpin averaging just three targets per game, the probability of him making a big play tonight is unlikely.
Fade him with confidence.
Matthew Golden
Less Than 48.5 Receiving Yards
We flip sides to focus on Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden.
Golden entered the season with plenty of hype as his draft capital and talent made him an immediate starter. He has yet to become a top target for Jordan Love, as he has totaled just eight targets through three games.
While the Cowboys' secondary offers arguably the best matchup for opposing wide receivers, the Packers have run the ball at the fourth-highest rate. Hence, targets are not plentiful to go around.
We should see the Packers control this matchup with the ground game, as they can stretch the field with the passing game, even if Golden has yet to prove that he will be on the receiving end of those passes down the field.
