NFL Player Odds and Props
Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott under 267.5 passing yards (-115)
Prescott has thrown for 730 yards, seven touchdowns, and only one interception. He threw for a season-high 276 yards against Baltimore, but now faces a Houston defence allowing 238.7 passing yards per game.
CeeDee Lamb over 77 receiving yards (-110)
Lamb has 309 receiving yards through three games, including seven catches for 112 yards against Baltimore. He remains Prescott’s top target and has averaged 103 receiving yards per game.
Houston Texans
C.J. Stroud over 250 passing yards (+107)
Stroud has thrown for 794 yards through three games despite being limited to 167 against Indianapolis. Dallas has struggled defensively and has recorded only two sacks this season.
Dalton Schultz over 50 receiving yards (+110)
Schultz leads Houston with 205 receiving yards through three games, highlighted by a career-best 12 catches for 140 yards against Cincinnati. He has developed into one of Stroud’s most reliable targets and could remain heavily involved against Dallas.
Dallas Cowboys
Dallas has produced enough offence to have a better record, but defensive problems and late-game mistakes have been costly.
Prescott has completed 69.5% of his passes with seven touchdowns and one interception. Lamb leads the Cowboys with 309 receiving yards, while Javonte Williams rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown against Baltimore.
Dallas has only two sacks and no interceptions through three games. The Cowboys also allowed Baltimore to score the winning points in the final seconds after tying the game with seven seconds remaining.
Houston Texans
Houston’s defence has kept it competitive, but the offence needs to improve.
The Texans forced three turnovers against Indianapolis but converted them into only seven points. Stroud has thrown three touchdowns without an interception this season, but Houston is averaging only 84.7 rushing yards per game.
Nico Collins returned to practice Wednesday after missing two games with a hamstring injury, although his status remains worth monitoring.
Houston’s defence gives the Texans a chance, but Dallas has shown considerably more offensive firepower.
