Sitting at just 3-4-1 following a blowout defeat against the Denver Broncos last week, it doesn’t look like the 2025 will be the Dallas Cowboys’ year. Offensively, Dallas has shown plenty of flashes under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, but the defense has been an unmitigated disaster. Scoring 40 points is hard to do…scoring 40 points and tying is harder still.
Regardless, it might be Dak Prescott’s. The veteran quarterback suffered through an injury-riddled 2024 campaign, but he’s bounced back so far this season by completing a career-high 70.3% of his passes for 2,069 yards, 16 touchdowns, and five picks, two of which came last weekend against Denver. He’s leading the league in QBR for a second time after previously doing so in 2023, when he finished second in MVP voting.
Prescott will hope to rebound after struggling against the Broncos when the Cowboys face the Arizona Cardinals tonight on Monday Night Football. The clash is set to begin at AT&T Stadium at 8:15 p.m. ET.
Dallas is a 3.5-point favorite for tonight’s clash at DraftKings Sportsbook, with the point total set to 53.5. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bets centered around Prescott.
Best Dak Prescott Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Dak Prescott U268.5 Passing Yards (-112)
269 yards is a high bar that Prescott has only hit twice in his eight starts this season — though he also had 261-yard and 264-yard performances in back-to-back weeks against the Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders — and he’s only done it once before the end of regulation. The 10-year veteran gotten more cautious as his career has gone on, averaging his fewest yards per completion, third-fewest yards per attempt, and fewest intended air yards per attempt this season.
Though the Cardinals have allowed the ninth-most yards per game overall, they still have a decent secondary. They’ve held quarterbacks to the eighth-lowest passer rating and the fifth-fewest yards per attempt, and they’ve tied for the 12th-best coverage grades at Pro Football Focus, so Prescott would need to throw with unusual volume in order to get there. Second round rookie Will Johnson has battled groin issues this season and has had a rough last two weeks, but he’s still an impressive all-around defender, and slot corner Garrett Williams could return from the knee injury that has kept him out since Week 2. Arizona hasn’t allowed more than 268 passing yards in a game since Mac Jones recorded 284 in Week 3.
Dak Prescott U0.5 Interceptions (-120)
Despite throwing two picks in his last game, Prescott has taken pretty good care of the football overall this season, finishing without a pick in five of his eight starts and notching the fifth-lowest interception rate of his career. He’s only made a bad throw on 10.2% of his drop-backs, the lowest rate of his career, and his receivers have helped him out by dropping just 3.2% of his passes. One of those drops resulted in one of his five picks, while the other four have been mostly his fault.
The Cardinals also haven’t intercepted the quarterback much. This season, they’ve managed only four, tied with the Cowboys (among other teams) for the sixth-fewest in the NFL. They’ve excelled at keeping opposing teams out of the end zone, allowing the second-fewest touchdown passes, but takeaways hasn’t been a strong suit. In fact, middle linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. is the only regular Arizona starter with an interception this season, and Prescott targets the middle of the field relatively infrequently.
