3 best prop bets for Patriots vs Cowboys Week 6
By Jerry Trotta
2. Jakobi Meyers over 61.5 receiving yards (-108)
While we’re not expecting this to be a barnburner, the Patriots are going to have to throw to keep Dallas’ defense honest, assuming they try to establish the run to keep Prescott and Co. off the field as much as possible.
Either way, we still like Jakobi Meyers to manage over 61.5 receiving yards. You can get that bet at -108 odds, so bet $108 to win $100.
Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers: “Everybody talks about the Cowboys growing up. Definitely one I’m looking forward to. I respect them. I respect what they’re doing this year. I know everybody loves them, so I just want to go out there and play my best. Everybody will be watching.”

Meyers is the Patriots’ most consistent playmaker on offense and his rapport with Mac Jones is evident. He’s only gone over 60 yards twice this season, but we trust him to find holes in the Cowboys’ suspect secondary.
Trevon Diggs is the early frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year, but he primarily lines up on the perimeter. Meyers, on the other hand, does most of his damage from the slot, so he should draw one of Dallas’ weaker cornerbacks.
Meyers had an ugly drop that nearly cost the Patriots in Week 5, but we expect him to bounce back in a big way on Sunday. Based on his quote above, he might out to prove something against the five-time champs.
