Thanksgiving football is built on history and tradition — and few matchups embody that more than this one. The sport’s most iconic franchise, the Dallas Cowboys, will host the face of modern football, the Kansas City Chiefs, in a marquee showdown at AT&T Stadium.
In Week 12, the Chiefs (6–5) erased an 11-point deficit to secure an overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The Cowboys (5–5–1), meanwhile, took down the Philadelphia Eagles to record consecutive victories for the first time this season — fueled by another monster performance from wide receiver George Pickens.
Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET. Kansas City enters as a 3.5-point road favorite, while Dallas sits as a +154 underdog. The game’s total is set at 52.5 points.
Ahead of the Thanksgiving Day matchup, here’s my favorite George Pickens prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best George Pickens Prop Bet for Chiefs vs. Cowboys
Best Bet: George Pickens 90+ Receiving Yards (+155)
Ahead of the season, the Cowboys sent a pair of draft picks to Pittsburgh — and ended up with one of the league’s top receivers. Eleven games into his Cowboys tenure, George Pickens has hauled in 67-of-92 targets for 1,054 yards, trailing only Seattle’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the NFL lead. He’s already shattered his career-high with eight receiving touchdowns, which ranks third in the league.
Pickens, 24, has eclipsed 90 receiving yards in four games this season, including each of his last two games. He caught nine targets for 144 yards and a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11, then one-upped himself with nine receptions, 146 yards, and a score against the Eagles.
While the Chiefs boast a strong defensive backfield, Pickens has shown that he can still stuff the stat sheet against formidable secondaries. In Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, who have allowed the NFL’s fifth-fewest passing yards this season, Pickens corralled eight-of-11 targets for 134 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Even while sharing targets with fellow star receiver CeeDee Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson, Pickens continues to rack up yards, propelled by a plethora of chunk plays. Count on the first-year Cowboy to keep the momentum rolling and eclipse 90 receiving yards on Turkey Day.
