Thursday night football Cowboys, the Giants.
Um I mentioned, you know, teasing Malik neighbors discussion.
Let’s say that for the end here and let’s talk a little bit about the Cowboys when they have the ball here.
Jake Ferguson man, the one that stood out to me on Bet MGM over 4.5 catches plus 115.
Like I do think this is gonna be a heavy pepper.
Jake Ferguson game coming off that co coming into his second game here.
Like if I’m looking props wise on this side of the ball, the I I’ve told, I warned people at the beginning of the year.
This is one of my favorite ones because I, I like it is over deck rushing yards over 9.5.
Giants will go every which way with their looks.
They kind of like a little be a little kind of crazy with stuff guys not popping open.
I see Dak tucking the ball, maybe run running just for a couple, maybe just getting that one first down to get some over 10 yards or just two of these for like four or five yards where he gets the simple yards because that’s, I just see against this Giants defense that’s gonna might have some funkiness to it.
That’s a good way to kind of just beat the funkiness.
Let’s flip this over to the Giants, uh, when they have the ball, uh, it’s just their offense is literally where is Malik Neighbors?
I am interested to see what he does in this matchup.
But, um, you know, it’s, it’s, you, you wanna run the ball on the, on the Dallas Cowboys.
But at the same time, we’re talking about a team that has had issues.
You can, you can get Malik Neighbors touches that are like extension of the run game type touches.
Yeah, I would almost like it more.
Maybe it’s just the Saints game doing a lot in my mind like an over longest reception bet with Neighbors and II I do like the quantity because he is gonna get no, he just, oh yeah, he’s gonna get targets.
He’s gonna get designs for him as well like that.
That’s a big thing too.
He’s the offense.
He’s the focal point.
You’re not gonna like, yeah, they’re gonna run the ball and devil’s Devin Lomo sign is gonna get his touches and that’s what they’re gonna do, but every passway is gonna go through neighbors even if he doesn’t get the ball.
So I, I think it’s always just a safe bet if you’re looking prop wise with him.
But man, he, you mentioned 23.5 is the longest reception, by the way.
Take it.
I, I get already picture like a 3840 yarder in this game.
Devin Singletary is never gonna be the sexiest play on the board.
But, uh, if, if he’s probably, he’s a, he’s a fantasy starter in this game because the cowboys’ run defense sucks.
And I do think, uh, the over under, on rushing attempts for him 13.5 minus 1, 25.
The rushing yards is high 60.5.
I don’t know if I can take the over on that because it’s pretty high.
But the attempts, I’m always a coward and I love to go with the rush attempts.
However, Nate, I will just, I think that’s gonna transition to my final thing.
I’m gonna ask you about this game.
Who do you think wins this game?
I think it’s gonna be a bit of an ugly game, but II, I think the Cowboys take it home.
