Jake Ferguson Is Back

It’s been a tough couple weeks for Jake Ferguson. Our guy suffered a concussion against the Houston Texans on November 18th and hasn’t played since. Lucky for us, he has been cleared by doctors to give it a go against the Cincinnati Bengals tonight.

I’m sure Jake is also happy to have this thing behind him. Concussions are not a joke.

Jake Ferguson said the concussion he suffered had him so chemically imbalanced that he woke up one night and burst into tears because he couldn’t find his phone.

“I hadn’t cried like that since my dog died in middle school. I stopped like, ‘wth is wrong with me’?’”

People don’t realize how good Jake Ferguson has been this season. Dude has really only played eight games yet he has caught 43 passes. It’s obviously a lost season for the Dallas Cowboys given their record and injury situation but Jake has been a bright spot. He’s like a discount Rob Gronkowski.

Tonight the Cowboys will see Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals which should be fun. For us, not the Cowboys. My guess is Dallas will have no shot of stopping the Bengals’ offense so they’ll be put in spots where they have to throw the ball more than they’d like to keep up. That’s where Jake comes in.

On the season, only six teams in the entire NFL have given up more receiving yards to the tight end position. Every single one of those teams has played more games than the Bengals. By the end of tonight, after Jake baptizes these guys, the Bengals will be a bottom-three team at defending the tight end position. Feels right.

• The Pick: Jake Ferguson 40+ Receiving Yards (+105) at DraftKings

Cooper Rush Might Not Stink

Everyone is saying “Cooper Rush stinks” and I’m here to tell you, I don’t he think he does. He’s the kid who went down 49-14 in the 2014 Bahamas Bowl to Western Kentucky. Instead of just giving up, he brought his team all the way back and was a two-point conversion away from winning that game. The guy is a winner.

I mean, just look at the balls he throwing these days. Kid has moxie. Can’t teach moxie.

Cooper has only been starting for three games and has had mixed results. I know the haters are going to say that his yardage total has gone down every game since taking over for Dak Prescott but as usual, the haters have no idea what they’re talking about. Silly haters.

For starters, he went 350+ against the Houston Texans. That’s impressive. Guys who stink don’t do that. They just don’t. Then the next week he threw two touchdown passes against the Washington Commanders. After that, he had a dud against the New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day but in his defense, it looked like the Cowboys thought they could just run the ball all day against New York. It worked.

Tonight, the Cowboys will likely have to keep pace with one of the NFL’s best offenses in the Cincinnati Bengals. Lucky for us, teams have been able to do that so far this season and it’s mostly been through the air. In fact, each of the last three quarterbacks that have matched up with the Bengals have thrown at least two touchdowns. I think Cooper Rush makes it four straight tonight. Feels right.

• The Pick: Cooper Rush Over 1.5 Passing TDs (+136) at FanDuel
• 2024 SBD MNF Results – 12-13 (+3.03 Units)

As Monday Night Football approaches in Week 14, fans and bettors alike are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Dallas Cowboys. While traditional bets on the outcome of the game are always popular, player prop bets offer a unique opportunity to wager on individual player performances.

For those looking to get in on the action, here are some of the best player prop bets to consider for Monday night’s game:

1. Joe Burrow Over/Under Passing Yards: With the Bengals likely to be playing catch-up against the high-powered Cowboys offense, quarterback Joe Burrow could be in for a busy night. Look for Burrow to surpass his projected passing yard total, which is currently set at around 275 yards.

2. Ezekiel Elliott Total Rushing Yards: The Cowboys’ star running back has been on a tear in recent weeks, and he could have a big game against a Bengals defense that has struggled against the run. Bet on Elliott to exceed his rushing yard total, which is currently set at around 80 yards.

3. CeeDee Lamb Total Receiving Yards: As one of the Cowboys’ top receiving threats, CeeDee Lamb could be in line for a big game against a Bengals secondary that has been vulnerable to big plays. Look for Lamb to go over his projected receiving yard total, which is currently set at around 70 yards.

4. Tee Higgins Anytime Touchdown Scorer: With Joe Burrow looking to spread the ball around, wide receiver Tee Higgins could be a prime candidate to find the end zone. Bet on Higgins to score a touchdown at any point during the game.

5. Amari Cooper Total Receptions: As one of Dak Prescott’s favorite targets, Amari Cooper could see plenty of action in the passing game. Look for Cooper to surpass his projected reception total, which is currently set at around 5 catches.

When placing player prop bets, it’s important to consider factors such as injuries, weather conditions, and recent performance trends. By doing your research and staying informed, you can increase your chances of making successful wagers on Monday Night Football Week 14. Good luck and happy betting!
