The Bills are searching for their third straight win when they face off with their AFC East foe Jets on Sunday afternoon. Josh Allen has received a bulk of the headlines, but James Cook is in the midst of a career year and is playing at a Pro Bowl level.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Buffalo is currently a 10-point favorite, with the game’s total set at 46 points. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Cook for this divisional clash.
Best James Cook Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
James Cook 2+ Touchdowns (+390)
Since Joe Brady has taken over as Buffalo’s offensive coordinator, James Cook has been a revelation. The 25-year-old has emerged as the team’s bell cow, monopolizing touches from the backfield. He’s an elusive runner who uses excellent vision to climb to the second level. Cook has become more physical, bouncing off tackles and using his acceleration to create chunk plays.
His noticeable improvement in his game has come near the goal line, where previously, Josh Allen was the club’s first, second, and third option for making something happen. Cook has garnered more trust, which has worked masterfully. He has 16 total scores, including consecutive multi-touchdown outings.
The Bills have the second-best offensive EPA per play in the NFL, which maximizes scoring opportunities. New York has shown some recent flashes of competence but has still had a disastrous defense since Robert Saleh’s firing. As long as the Buffalo starters are on the field, they should put up points in bunches. This line is a bit ambitious, but the value is worth hoping Cook can continue his prowess near the end zone.
