Dallas Cowboys vs Los Angeles Chargers Same Game Parlay
First Leg: Dak Prescott 200+ Passing yards
As mentioned in my other article, the Chargers have the worst passing defense in the NFL. They have been dealing with a lot of injuries in their secondary and have let opposing quarterbacks carve them up this season. We saw Dak Prescott have an absolutely terrible game last week against San Francisco where he failed to reach even 160 yards while also throwing three interceptions. He is a much better QB than he showed last week, and this is a prime bounce back spot for him against a much weaker defense. In the three games prior to the blowout loss vs. SF, Dak had averaged 255 yards per game, and I expect him to get around that number tonight making 200 yards a small feat to reach.
Second Leg: Tony Pollard 40+ Rushing yards
Pollard was game scripted a bit last week as the Cowboys found themselves in a large deficit fairly early on and had to abandon the run a bit. The 49ers also dominated the time of possession in that game and the Cowboys were just not on the field as much which gave Pollard a lot less opportunities. Tonight should be a much different story as opposing RB1s have done well against the Chargers. Josh Jacobs ran for 58 yards, Alexander Mattison ran for 93, and Derrick Henry ran for 80. In the four games prior to their blowout loss to SF, Pollard had been averaging 18.25 carries per game and over four yards per carry. I do not foresee the Cowboys going down early like they did against the Niners, so Pollard shouldn't get caught in a negative game script tonight. He should get anywhere from 15-20 carries, and I think he ends up with 55-70 yards which makes 40+ yards a small feat to reach.
Third Leg: Keenan Allen 50+ Receiving yards
Allen lit the league on fire through the Chargers first three games of the season as he totaled 402 yards for an average of 134 yards per game. He was kept in check last week by the Raiders, only able to reel in three catches on five targets for 32 total yards. This was a bit of a weird game for the Chargers as Herbert was only able to tally 167 passing yards and as a whole, the Chargers just could not get it going. The Mike Williams injury should yield even more opportunities for Allen with a Chargers' receivers room that is already fairly thin. Allen is without question Herbert's favorite and most reliable target, and the Chargers could face a negative game script tonight which should only add even more targets for Allen. I expect Allen to have 10+ targets tonight and should be able to reel in at least 6-7 of those for 70+ yards, so 50 seems like a small feat to reach.
