The Dallas Cowboys (6-3) and Minnesota Vikings (8-1) will duke it out on Sunday afternoon. Dallas lost last week against the Green Bay Packers 31-28.
However, the Cowboys led throughout before the wheels started to come off in the fourth quarter. Up 28-14, Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers linked up with WR Christian Watson for two touchdowns to send the contest into a suspenseful overtime period.
Dallas turned it over on downs with their first OT possession, leading to a Packers game-winning field goal off the leg of Mason Crosby.
Meanwhile, the Vikings won a dramatic, suspenseful road game against the Buffalo Bills 33-30. The final two minutes of regulation were filled with fireworks, including a one-handed catch by Justin Jefferson on fourth and 18, a failed fourth-and-goal QB sneak, an ensuing Josh Allen endzone fumble, and a Tyler Bass game-tying field goal to send the contest to OT.
Kirk Cousins led a six-minute drive to start overtime, leading to a Vikings field goal. The Bills' drive ensued, but Josh Allen threw a game-sealing pick, his second of the afternoon, to give Minnesota the win.
Below, we'll go through the best player props for this Sunday's showdown.

NFL Player Prop #1: Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott Any Time Touchdown Scorer (-135)
Ezekiel Elliott has lost a step over the years. Some of it has been usage over his career as well as injury. He has missed all of November with a knee injury but is trending towards suiting up on Sunday. If the Cowboys' Bell Cow is ready to get back into game action, he should find the endzone against a less-than-average Minnesota front seven.
NFL Player Prop #2: Vikings RB Dalvin Cook Over 79.5 Yards Receiving (-113)
The Cowboys have been shredded by opposing backfields the last few weeks, and when I say shredded, I mean SHREDDED. Teams with four or more wins in the season average 148.8 rushing yards per game against the Cowboys.
The Vikings enter this matchup 8-1 with three-time pro bowler Dalvin Cook leading the backfield. Cook has surpassed 80 yards rushing in two of his last three games, averaging a healthy five yards per attempt. He should have no trouble finding running lanes against Dallas this weekend.
NFL Player Prop #3: Cowboys WR Ceedee Lamb Over 77.5 Yards Receiving (-113)
The Minnesota Vikings' defense has been near the bottom of the NFL regarding yards allowed per game but finds ways to make an impact via the turnover. The Cowboys possess one of the better QB-WR connections in the NFL in the form of Dak Prescott and Ceedee Lamb.
Elite passing connections have thrived against Minny this season. DeAndre Hopkins went for 159 yards with Kyler Murray, Stefon Diggs had 128 with Josh Allen, and AJ Brown had 69 yards on five receptions from Jalen Hurts. Lamb has averaged 99 receiving yards in three games since Prescott returned from injury.
