The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles square-off on Sunday Night Football in an NFC East showdown.

Whether you want to focus on prop bets, or want to bet on a few alongside your pick on a side or total, you've come to the right place.

Here are my top three prop bets for tonight's matchup.

Sunday Night Football Best Prop Bets for Cowboys vs. Eagles

  • Miles Sanders OVER 66.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
  • Cooper Rush UNDER 216.5 Passing Yards (-113)
  • CeeDee Lamb UNDER 5.5 Receptions (-130)

Miles Sanders OVER 64.5 Rushing Yards

Everyone is talking about how good the Cowboys defense is, but they do have a hole that the Eagles could exploit tonight. Dallas ranks 21st in the NFL in opponent yards per carry, allowing teams to average 4.7 yards per rush.

If the Eagles are able to exploit that weakness, look for Miles Sanders to have a big game.

Cooper Rush UNDER 218.5 Passing Yards

Cooper Rush and the Cowboys will have to face the top passing defense in the NFL tonight, and I think that spells a rough outing for the backup QB. The Eagles rank first in the NFL in opponent yards per pass attempt, allowing a measly 5.0 yards per throw.

Rush has only surpassed this total in two of his four starts this season, so it's not like we're asking a lot for him to go under this number against the strong Philadelphia secondary.

CeeDee Lamb UNDER 5.5 Receptions

CeeDee Lamb has not emerged as the breakout star this season like many of us expected he would. As a result, his targets have dropped over the past two weeks.

He has only seen eight passes thrown his way in each of the last two games, which means he would have to catch six of eight targets this week if those numbers remain consistent.

Against this Eagles secondary, I'm willing to bet the UNDER on that number.
