It’s the annual Christmas Day triple-header for the NFL, and it all kicks off between two bitter rivals in the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys (6-8-1) versus the Washington Commanders (4-11). Even though this duel has no playoff implications, I’ve made it spicier by cooking up a three-leg same-game parlay that pays out a cool +1800, should all three predictions hit in the same affair.

Cowboys vs Commanders SGP Leg #1 – Dak Prescott Over 270.5 Passing Yards

The first leg of this same-game parlay features quarterback Dak Prescott, who is second in league passing (4,175 yards). He’s up against a Washington D that’s seventh worst in passing yards allowed per game.

He’s been able to reach that threshold in four of his last five outings, and seven of his last nine affairs against Washington.

With Prescott’s career success versus Washington, I’m confident that he’ll be able to blow over his passing yardage total, with the Cowboys not having a ton to play for other than pride.

DAL vs WSH Same-Game Parlay Leg #2 – Jacory Croskey-Merritt Over 28.5 Rushing Yards

The second leg hinges on Commanders rookie RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushing for at least 29 yards versus Dallas. The ‘Boys are in the bottom half of the league in yards allowed on the ground, and with Washington using third string QB Josh Johnson, they’ll presumably try to augment him with a lot of runs.

Enter JCM, who has topped 29 yards in ten of 15 duels on the campaign. He was able to accomplish that feat against Dallas earlier in the season, and Washington is fourth best at rushing yards per duel (133.9).

With the Commanders out of playoff contention, it would stand to reason they’d see what they have in rookie RB Merritt, who could easily go over his yardage total in just one big rush, which would help us win the second leg.

Cowboys vs Commanders Same-Game Parlay Leg #3 – Ryan Flournoy Anytime TD Scorer

The final leg of this SGP will dovetail nicely with me thinking Dak Prescott will have a huge game. That’s for Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy to find pay dirt. He’s done four times in his last seven skirmishes, and his odds are longer than the top seven players on the board.

His quarterback Dak Prescott has had a phenomenal season, racking up 4,175 yards (second most in the NFL), along with 28 passing TD’s, which is third in the league.

Flournoy faces a Washington squad that’s surrendered 30 passing TD’s, which is the third worst mark in the NFL. All three things occurring is well within reach, and a +1800 payout looks pretty slick!

  • Cowboys vs Commanders SGP: Dak Prescott Over 270.5 Passing Yards + Jacory Croskey-Merritt Over 28.5 Rushing Yards + Ryan Flournoy Anytime TD Scorer (+1800)
