NFL Props: Cowboys-Vikings
Dalvin Cook Over 85.5 Rush Yards
Cook has been dealing with an ankle injury since Week 3, but he said he’s closer to 100% following the Vikings bye in Week 7.
With Dak Prescott tending toward sitting out Sunday Night Football and Cooper Rush getting the start, the line on this game has moved to Vikings -3. I like that Cook should be in a positive game script here. Dating back to last season, he has a median of 73 rush yards in losses — that number goes up to a whopping 130 median rush yards in wins.
Cook has gone over this number 61% of the time dating back to last season, making me want to lock it in right now even more. My raw rushing yards model has Cook at 101 yards tonight, but I would set his line closer to 95.5. I bet if — or when — Prescott is ruled out, this line closes around 93-94.
I would bet this to 91.5.
Pick: Dalvin Cook Over 85.5 Rush Yards (-115) at PointsBet
