Cowboys vs Vikings Week 11 props
Dalvin dazzles
Dalvin Cook is averaging 5.0 yards per carry on the ground so far this season and should see some success on Sunday.
While the Cowboys' defense has been very impressive at times this season, they are still highly vulnerable against the run. Dallas ranks 29th in rushing yards allowed per game (143.1), and it cost the Cowboys last week in their loss to the Packers.
Last week, Green Bay took advantage by running the ball a whopping 37 times with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Despite just 14 carries last week, Cook still managed to gain 119 rushing yards against the Bills.
The star RB is going to get the ball early and often in this one. On volume alone, surpassing more than 80 yards is a bargain.
Dalvin Cook Prop: Over 79.5 rushing yards (-114)
Fade Hockenson
Since being traded from Detroit to Minnesota, tight end T.J. Hockenson has been targeted 19 times in two games, accumulating a total of 115 yards against Washington and Buffalo.
While that automatically paints the picture of another high-volume performance on Sunday, Hockenson will mostly be defended by Cowboys linebacker Damone Clark.
The rookie linebacker has held his own in coverage this season. While the rookie isn't Matt Milano by any means, he's good enough off the ball to keep Hockenson Under his total. Up to now, Clark has allowed just a 79.2 passer rating his way as an off-the-ball LB.
Dallas has allowed more than 45 yards receiving to a TE just twice this season. Look for the Cowboys to continue to lock down the position in Week 11.
T.J. Hockenson Prop: Under 45.5 receiving yards (+102)
My Cousin Kirk
Although I expect Kirk Cousins to be somewhat of a game manager in this one, this match is going to be close the entire time.
While this isn't technically a prime-time game, America's Game of the Week will have all eyes on it, and Kirk historically doesn't thrive well in high-pressure situations.
Kirk Cousins and volatile situations?... that mixes as well as cereal and orange juice.
Cousins is currently tied with Matthew Stafford for fourth in the league in interceptions with eight and now goes up against a Dallas secondary that has plenty of playmakers.
Dallas boasts the fourth-best passing defense in the NFL, giving up an average of just 181.7 yards through the air.
Mix in last year's interception leader Trevon Diggs looking to pounce while linebacker Micah Parsons relentlessly comes after you, and Kirk is due for an ill-advised throw at some point.
Kirk Cousins Prop: Over 0.5 interceptions (-112)
