First up on our list of Cowboys vs Chargers props is a player prop focused on special teams. Cameron Dicker has made six of his seven field goal attempts on the 2023 NFL season so far. In this game, we like him to make over 1.5 field goals, a prop bet that comes in at plus money coming into this Monday Night Football matchup.
The key to this prop is the idea that the Chargers are going to be able to move the ball to some extent, but get stopped short of the end zone on multiple occasions. That is a product of facing the Cowboys defense, which is one of the better defensive units in the NFL, despite the fact that they are coming off of a blowout loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Expect the Cowboys to bend but not break in this game, en route to Dicker the Kicker knocking in at least two field goals.
Cowboys vs Chargers Player Prop #2: Justin Herbert Under 281.5 Passing Yards (-110 at Bet365)

In a similar vein, look for Justin Herbert to go under his passing yardage total in this marquee Monday Night Football matchup. Herbert has thrown for 1,106 passing yards in the Chargers’ first four games of this season, an average of 276.5 passing yards per game. That average is already under the total of 281.5 passing yards set for Herbert in this contest, and the Cowboys defense should only drive Herbert’s passing output in a downward direction.
This season, the Cowboys are allowing the fifth-fewest air yards on completions against them among NFL teams this season. That will mean shorter throws for Herbert, in an attempt to alleviate the pressure that he will be under against the Cowboys defensive front. Barring a ton of missed tackles from the Cowboys, that should mean an under for Herbert in one of our favorite Cowboys vs Chargers props.
