NFL Sunday Night Football best bets Week 1

As the NFL season kicks off, the Dallas Cowboys face off against the New York Giants in an NFC East showdown. With both teams boasting offensive firepower, several player props stand out for bettors heading into Sunday night's matchup.

One standout prop is Javonte Williams' rushing yards. The Cowboys running back averaged 75.1 yards per game last season after rushing for 1,201 yards on 252 carries. The Giants allowed 145.3 rushing yards per game last season, making Williams an attractive play. If Dallas can establish the run and take an early lead, Williams should have plenty of opportunities to clear the 74.5 yard threshold.

Another intriguing bet is Odell Beckham Jr.'s receptions. Beckham, returning to the Giants after the offseason, could be an interesting value play. New York is expected to use a variety of personnel groupings under new head coach John Harbaugh, including Malik Nabers and Darnell Mooney. With two receptions being the bar, Beckham should have ample opportunities to make an impact, especially if Dallas forces Jaxson Dart to throw more passes than expected.

Cam Skattebo presents a third betting opportunity as the New York Giants' lead back. Despite only 101 carries last season, Skattebo scored five rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns. The Giants allowed 24 rushing touchdowns last season, the second-most in the NFL, making Skattebo an important player in New York's offensive game plan.
