The Dallas Cowboys (3-3) head to the Bay Area to play the San Francisco 49ers (3-4) for Sunday Night Football in Week 8. In the preseason, these teams expected to be at the top of the standings in the NFC, yet both squads struggled. The Cowboys have been a hot mess, and the 49ers are dealing with numerous injuries to key offensive players.
We pinpointed some of the best SNF prop bets and player props from NFL betting sites for the Cowboys vs 49ers that include Brock Purdy, Dak Prescott, Deebo Samuel, CeeDee Lamb, Jordan Mason, Brandon Aubrey, and rookie wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing.
The 49ers are a -4 favorite at home, and the total is 46.5 over/under.
The 49ers average 25.7 points per game and are ranked ninth in scoring, which is somewhat impressive considering Christian McCaffrey has not played this season. They’ll square off against the second-worst scoring defense in the NFL. The Cowboys allow 28.0 ppg and they’re ranked #29 in defensive DVOA.
The Cowboys average 21.0 ppg on offense and are ranked #26 in offensive DVOA. The 49ers allow 22.6 points per game but are ranked #6 in defensive DVOA.
Best SNF Prop Bets: Touchdowns
It appears that 49ers running back Jordan Mason will play despite a lingering ankle injury. Mason is the consensus favorite to score the first touchdown at +425 odds, -165 odds to score an anytime touchdown, and +350 odds to score two or more touchdowns.
The injury woes for San Francisco continue. Tight end George Kittle sprained his foot last week, and his status is questionable. If Kittle plays, he’s +750 odds to score the first touchdown.
Deebo Samuel spent a brief stint in the hospital earlier in the week due to pneumonia. He was discharged and limited in practice, but he’s still the biggest offensive threat on the 49ers. We actually like him to score two touchdowns at +800 odds. From the ER to the end zone!
Rookie WR Ricky Pearsall made his debut in Week 7 after recovery from a gunshot wound during a robbery attempt in downtown San Francisco. Pearsall caught three passes, but he’s still looking for the first touchdown of his career. Pearsall to score an anytime touchdown pays +165 odds.
Also, keep an eye on rookie WR Jacob Cowing, who stepped up last week when Brandon Aiyuk sustained an ACL injury. Cowing is +400 odds to score an anytime touchdown, and we like that value, which is one of our best SNF prop bets.
| PLAYER | FIRST TD ODDS | ANYTIME TD ODDS | 2+ TD ODDS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Mason | +425 | -165 | +350 |
| CeeDee Lamb | +650 | +105 | +800 |
| George Kittle | +750 | +125 | +900 |
| Deebo Samuel | +850 | +120 | +800 |
| Jauan Jennings | +950 | +155 | +1200 |
| Ricky Pearsall | +950 | +165 | +1200 |
| Rico Dowdle | +1000 | +165 | +1200 |
| Jacob Cowing | +2000 | +400 | +4500 |
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has not put up huge numbers like everyone had hoped with only two touchdowns and not a single game with more than 100+ yards. He’s due for a monstrous game. Lamb is +105 odds to score an anytime touchdown and +800 to score two touchdowns. If you’re feeling frisky, you can back him for multiple touchdowns.
The Cowboys have zero mojo in their running game, but running back Rico Dowdle is their best chance to score a rushing touchdown at +165 odds.
Cowboys vs 49ers Player Props: Passing
The 49ers have the fourth-best pass offense in the NFL. Purday averages 263 passing yards per game. His total for SNF is 243.5 yards, which he exceeded five times this season. We love the over for passing yards as one of our best SNF prop bets.
Purdy to surpass 300 or more passing yards pays out +400 odds. He also has two games this season in which he tossed three or more touchdowns. If you feel Purdy will carve up the Cowboy’s porous secondary, you can back him to throw 3+ touchdowns at +330 odds.
| QUARTERBACK | PASSING PROP BET | OVER ODDS | UNDER ODDS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dak Prescott | 250.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
| Dak Prescott | 1.5 TDs O/U | +110 | -145 |
| Brock Purdy | 243.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
| Brock Purdy | 1.5 TDs O/U | -125 | -105 |
Cowboys vs 49ers Player Props: Receiving
Lamb averages 77.8 receiving yards per game this season. His SNF total is a smidge below at 75.5 yards. We like the over because the only chance the Cowboys have to stay close in this game is for Prescott to fling the ball to Lamb.
| PLAYER | RECEIVING PROP BET | OVER ODDS | UNDER ODDS |
|---|---|---|---|
| CeeDee Lamb | 75.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
| CeeDee Lamb | 6.5 Receptions O/U | +110 | -145 |
Lamb has three games in which he exceeded 75.5 yards, but he has yet to tally a 100-yard game. For alternative receiving yards, you can back Lamb to get 90+ yards at +160 odds and 100+ yards pays out +230.
Cowboys vs 49ers Player Props: Rushing
The 49ers have the seventh-best rushing attack in the NFL without McCaffrey. Jordan Mason is ranked second in the NFL with 128 carries and 667 yards. He averages 5.2 yards per carry.
Mason averages 95.3 rushing yards per game, but his SNF total is only 79.5 yards. He exceeded that number four times in seven games. Mason has a rushing attempts total of 17.5, which he surpassed four times.
Mason snapped off three 100-yard games, and he rushed over 123 yards in two games. You can back Mason to rush for 100+ yards at +215 odds, and 120+ yards at +420 odds.
| PLAYER | RUSHING PROP BET | OVER ODDS | UNDER ODDS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Mason | 79.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
| Jordan Mason | 17.5 Attempts O/U | -120 | -110 |
Cowboys vs 49ers Player Props: Kicking
Brandon Aubrey might be the best kicker in the NFL this season, and he has the biggest leg in the league. We like Aubrey to nail more than 7.5 points as one of our best SNF prop bets.
| KICKER | PROP BET | OVER ODDS | UNDER ODDS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brandon Aubrey | 7.5 Points O/U | -115 | -115 |
| Anders Carlson | 7.5 Points O/U | -115 | -115 |
Carlson was the kicker on Green Bay last season where he nailed 81.8% of his field goals but missed five extra points. He joined the 49ers when they lost their kicker. In his first game with the 49ers last week, he was a perfect 2-for-2 on field goals and added one extra point for six points.
