NFL SGP Picks: Cowboys Vs. Steelers Week 5 Sunday Night Football

NFL same game parlays and player props are available within Sunday Night Football odds. Our staff at TheLines.com remains focused on delivering smarter NFL SGP picks and ideas. NFL Week 5 continues with a Sunday Night showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers. Sportsbook software has become increasingly sophisticated in adjusting odds for correlated outcomes in SGPs. Our strategy is to target what appear to be uncorrelated SGPs that may actually fit a player’s role. Yet, sportsbook SGP machines often spit out longshot prices better than the fair odds, in our opinion.
Below, we’ll highlight NFL SNF player props and a potential Cowboys vs. Steelers smarter SGP strategy for those player prop picks.

2024 Strategy For NFL SGP Picks
When it comes to SGPs, we cannot emphasize enough how important it is to shop around. In our research for this season’s strategy, we sometimes found the same SGP at double the price vs. other betting apps:

SGP machines tend to offer lower payouts than the fair odds on correlated same game parlays.
One example of an uncorrelated SGP that apps may have trouble pricing is running back with high red zone usage for potential touchdowns but low rushing volume, overall, for high-end yardage totals.

Same Game Parlays: Idea No. 1 at +384
- Najee Harris anytime touchdown
- Najee Harris under 64.5 rush yards
The Cowboys’ defense has been eviscerated on the ground, surrendering the second-highest rush EPA to the tune of 145.8 rush yards per game allowed (6th most). They’ve become a bit of a run-funnel defense, boasting the third-lowest Dropback success rate while ranking 26th in rush success rate. Their defense faces an even bigger challenge this week with Micah Parsons (ankle) and DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) sidelined with injuries. Everything points towards a Najee Harris explosion; however, he’s been one of the most ineffective backs this season, averaging a mere 3.4 YPC.
Aiding Harris’ under is the resurgence of Cordarrelle Patterson, who tallied 43 rushing yards on six carries last week against the Colts. If things start of dicey for Harris, we may see Arthur Smith turn to Patterson to get the ground game going.
All this being said, the value still lies with Harris to reach the endzone at plus money. Dallas has allowed a league-high eight rushing touchdowns this season, so I expect Harris to break through and notch his first touchdown of the season.
NFL SGP Picks: Idea No. 2 at +2784 Parlay Odds
- Pat Freiermuth over 3.5 receptions
- Pat Freiermuth under 31.5 receiving yards
- Pat Freiermuth anytime touchdown
Pat Freiermuth is stuck in an offense that is reliant on the run, but even so, he ranks second on the team in receptions at 17. Besides George Pickens, no other receiver or tight end is in double-digit receptions on this team. It is worth noting that Freiermuth is averaging only 5.2 air yards per target (bottom 15), meaning that he has reception upside but is unlikely to have a big yardage game. Justin Fields loves a good check-down option, with his aDOT sitting at 6.7 yards (12th lowest). Given these stats, it makes sense to take a stab at Freiermuth to have 5 or more receptions but to be skeptical of him going over his yardage total.
