The Cowboys host the Lions in prime time in the second Week 17 game of the 2023 NFL season on Saturday night (8:15 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN). If you're looking to scratch your betting itch, this special early "MNF" matchup brings us several good props to consider on SuperDraft, especially with two high-scoring playoff teams led by Jared Goff and Dak Prescott.
It's easy to get in on the action. If you successfully hit on two player props, you get 3x return. That exponentially grows to 100x return for parlaying eight correct picks together at much longer odds. In other words, if you put down a $20 entry fee on our four props below and they all hit, you get paid $200.
Whether you're going with a two-legged parlay or stringing together three-plus props, here are our four favorite SuperDraft plays for the marquee conference matchup between Dallas and Detroit:

Best Lions-Cowboys prop bets: SuperDraft player prop picks for Week 17
*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks
1. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions — OVER 51.5 rushing yards
The Cowboys' run defense has been mostly tough, but it's fallen to No. 19 in the league, allowing 115.7 yards per game. Dallas gives up 4.2 yards per carry, but Gibbs averages a league-leading 5.7. Gibbs needs about 10 carries playing off David Montgomery to hit this mark, as the Cowboys also have given up some long runs of late.
MORE LIONS-COWBOYS: ATS Pick
2. Jake Ferguson, TE, Cowboys — OVER 49.5 receiving yards
T.J. Hockenson and Cole Kmet have easily gone OVER this number in recent matchups against the Lions, and Detroit also let backup-type tight ends produce well, too. Ferguson is a key target for Dak Prescott at home, and with some real attention on slowing down CeeDee Lamb and containing the big plays, Ferguson will find himself open often in soft spots. He should see another eight or nine targets, meaning catching about five will ensure going OVER this number.
3. Tony Pollard, RB, Cowboys — UNDER 78.5 rushing + receiving yards
Pollard has had 43 and 57 scrimmage yards, respectively, in his past two games, losses to the Dolphins and Bills. The Lions are the stingiest fantasy defense vs. running backs and overall allow only 90.6 rushing yards per game, with quarterback accounting for a big chunk of that. Pollard won't see enough touches here, as this game becomes more of a passing affair for Prescott.

4. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Lions — OVER 80.5 receiving yards
St. Brown has a smash spot against slot cornerback Jourdan Lewis, the weakest link in the Cowboys' coverage who has given up plenty of big games to inside receivers. St. Brown is a different story, not the typical pedestrian possession type but a dynamic go-to guy all over the field. ARSB will be motivated to show he's just as special on the other side of CeeDee Lamb, working pretty much the same role in Dallas' offense.
