PrizePicks for Dallas Cowboys vs. Miami Dolphins: Our favorite plays for Christmas Eve showdown

PrizePicks is one of the top DFS apps out there today, and for the Christmas Eve showdown between the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys, you’re going to want to get in on the fun!

This game is between a couple of the NFL’s most-explosive offenses, so we can expect some fireworks this afternoon in South Beach. The Cowboys are playing for a shot at the NFC East title, while the Miami Dolphins are trying to hold off the surging Buffalo Bills in the AFC East.

This matchup will have major playoff implications in both the AFC and NFC, as the 2-5 seeds are still wide open in both conferences. Thus, we can safely say both teams will be giving it their all this afternoon, which is good news for fans and DFS players.

Over at PrizePicks, there are plenty of great plays for this huge AFC-NFC crossover matchup, including an incredible discount involving Dallas WR CeeDee Lamb.

My Picks for Cowboys vs. Dolphins

CeeDee Lamb, Dallas: Higher than 64.5 receiving yards

This is a PrizePicks discounted pick, which should be the foundation of your contest! Lamb is coming off a game in which he had 7 catches for 53 yards in Buffalo. That was not what we’ve come to expect from Lamb, and he’ll be eager to bounce back in a big way. Miami hasn’t faced many elite wide receivers like Lamb yet this year, so I expect him to have a big afternoon.

Tony Pollard, Dallas: Higher than 0.5 rush+receiving TDs

Though Rico Dowdle has emerged as a solid backup option in Dallas, Pollard is still the top dog in the backfield. He’s been playing a bit better lately after a slow start to the season. He is a threat to score both as a runner and as a receiver, so I expect him to find the end zone at least once in what should be a high-scoring game.

Raheem Mostert, Miami: Higher than 55.5 rush yards

De’Von Achane is active for this game, but he’s still dealing with an injury. Mostert should be the lead back for the Dolphins this afternoon. Going against a banged-up Dallas defense, Mostert should have a couple of big runs in this game. Even if he only gets 12-15 carries, he should be able to reach 56 rushing yards.

How Many Picks Should You Make?

A 3-picks contest like the one I detailed above would pay out 5x your entry fee. Thus, a $5 entry would net $25 in winnings if all 3 picks are correct:

You can make up to 6 picks per contest on PrizePicks, so make sure you go to the app and make your selections before kickoff on Sunday afternoon. Whether you want to play it safe with a 2- or 3-picks contest or go big with 6 picks, get in on the fun today! Merry Christmas Eve, y’all!
