ARIEL EPSTEIN: Happy Thursday Night Football. I'm The Prop Queen, Ariel Epstein. Instead of having to choose sides and totals, I've got some prime time props. Let's get started with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
I'm taking Dak Prescott's over 34 and 1/2 pass attempts. He hasn't even faced a bottom 10 passing defense yet. In fact, in the last five games, Prescott's gone over this number in four of the last five. He's also getting back some key weapons, his wide receiver CeeDee Lamb back out of concussion protocol, Amari Cooper, another receiver for the Cowboys, he's back from COVID protocol.
Prescott is throwing the ball. Give me the over, 34 and 1/2 pass attempts for Dak Prescott. Prop two, shout out to Penn State, going with their linebacker now on the Cowboys Micah Parsons. I'm taking is over, 6 and 1/2 total tackles.
This is tackles plus assists. In the last nine games against the Saints, a linebacker has had seven or more total tackles. Also, because the quarterback for the Saints tonight, Taysom Hill, is likely going to be running with the ball, Parsons is probably going to be on him.
Take the over, 6 and 1/2 tackles for Micah Parsons. Onto the Saints side, I'm going with the over, 19 and 1/2 yards for the longest reception on Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith. Last year he did play with Taysom Hill under center. With Hill at quarterback, Smith was the second favorite target behind number one wide receiver Michael Thomas last year.
In fact, in those last two games with Hill under center, Smith went over this number of 19 and 1/2 yards. I'm taking that over. 19 and 1/2 yards for Smith's longest reception. My final prop of the night, it goes to the Saints quarterback, Taysom Hill.
I'm taking his over, 37 and 1/2 rushing yards. Last year with Hill as the quarterback, he started in four games and went over this number in three of the four. He's going to carry the ball a ton, considering he doesn't have Michael Thomas like he did last year.
Hill's going to have at least 10 carries in this game, which is going to put him over the number. I'm a little concerned about this plantar fasciitis that he has, this foot injury that his head coach Sean Payton's been talking about. However, what other option does he have?
I'm taking the over, 37 and 1/2 rushing yards on Taysom Hill. Here's your Prop Queen recap. I'm taking the over 34 and 1/2 pass attempts for Dak Prescott, over 6 and 1/2 total tackles for Micah Parsons, the over 19 and 1/2 yards on a longest reception prop for Tre'Quan Smith, and the over 37 and 1/2 rushing yards for Taysom Hill.
That's it for me, your Prop Queen, Ariel Epstein. Good luck to your bets tonight. Bet $1.00 on any game and win $100 free. Sign up now at betmgm.com/yahoospecial.
