Best NFL Thursday Night Football Player Prop Picks; Cowboys vs. Eagles Player Props: DeVonta Smith Longest Reception - Over 20.5 Yards 

Smith, Philadelphia's WR2, had 84 receptions for 1,097 yards in 2024. During nine of the 13 regular-season games played last season, he had at least a 21-yard catch, and during the playoffs, he had at least a 20.5-yard catch in two of four games, including the Super Bowl. Smith's top game of the season last year was against the Cowboys when he had six catches and 120 yards with two TDs, and his TD catches were at 22 and 25 yards, with a long catch of 49. The Eagles' high-powered passing game, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, and Dallas' secondary that was big-play prone last season, make Smith a likely choice for a deep catch. His speed and route-running ability make him a likely choice.
 

 

 

Cowboys vs. Eagles Player Prop Bets: Jalen Hurts First Touchdown 

This one simply makes sense on so many fronts. Scoring touchdowns when the Eagles are in the red zone has been all but unmatched since the starting quarterback became Jalen Hurts when the "tush push", a play that is being attempted to become made illegal by teams throughout the NFL due to just how unstoppable it has proven itself to be.

It’s easy to envision a scenario where the Eagles get the football, drive down the field on the Cowboys, and then once they get inside the five-yard line, we see them lineup in the “tush push” formation and Hurts plows his way into the end zone to kick off the 2025 NFL season for the defending Super Bowl champions.
 

 

 

Thursday Night Football Player Props: Javonte Williams Longest Rush - Under 10.5 Yards 

Javonte Williams, now on the Dallas Cowboys roster, recorded 139 carries and 513 yards (3.7 YPC) in 2024 with the Broncos, with six carries of more than 10.5 yards that included a 20-yard long. His low efficiency (40th amongst RBs) and Dallas' 19th-ranked run-blocking front end cap big-play ability. Riding a potential committee with Miles Sanders and Jaydon Blue and facing the Eagles' strong defensive front end in Week 1 play, Williams' carries could remain at 10-15. His power-based rushing is more about short gain and does not portend long rush.
