On Thursday night primetime in the Big D, the Dallas Cowboys host the reeling Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here are some great TNF Week 5 NFL Parlay picks & player props for this NFC matchup.

No shock that the Cowboys (2-2) are a big 8.5-point favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook, hosting the winless Buccaneers (0-4), where the total is set at 48.5.

In their last games, the Cowboys returned to .500 with a 34-30 win over the Houston Texans, while the Bucs remained winless with a 17-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

TNF Week 5 NFL Parlay Picks

Once again, let’s check out a couple of value two-leg parlays and a three-leg parlay.

Buccaneers vs. Cowboys TNF Parlay #1 – Prescott x2

Dak Prescott to pass for 263.5 yards (-113) – While Tampa Bay ranks a legit ninth in the league in pass defence, Prescott has passed for at least 276 yards in each of the last three games. He has one of the best WR duos in the league in CeeDee Lamb, who leads the NFL in receiving yards, and George Pickens.
Dak Prescott Under 2.5 passing TDs (-205) – While Prescott has been putting up big yards, he has passed for over 2.5 TDs in one game this season, and Dallas has been great running the ball in the Red Zone.

The odds for this parlay are +180, so a $100 bet would pay $280 with $180 in profit.

TNF Parlay: Prescott over 263.5 passing yards and Under 2.5 TDs: (+180, FanDuel)

Buccaneers vs. Cowboys TNF Parlay #2 – Bucky Irving with Heavy Workload

Bucky Irving 52+ rushing yards (-114) – The Bucs are without starting QB Baker Mayfield and will be going with undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels, who passed for 148 yards with a TD and two INTs in the last game. Tampa Bay will lean heavily on Irving and the run game, especially in the first half. Irving has rushed for over 52 yards in two of the last three games.
Bucky Irving 14+ rush attempts (-107) – Same as above: the Bucs will lean on Irving early and often, and he has over 14 rush attempts in each of the last three games.

The odds for this parlay are +265, so a $100 bet pays $365, for $265 in profit.

TNF Parlay: Irving 52+ rushing yards and 14 plus rushing attempts: (+265, DraftKings)

Buccaneers vs. Cowboys TNF Parlay #3: Cowboys Come Through

Cowboys to cover the 8.5-point spread – The Cowboys are coming off a win and are at home facing a reeling and winless Bucs team that is playing a rookie QB, who was less than impressive in his first career start last week.
Over 48 points (-108) – Dallas put up 34 points in their last game and rank tied for second in scoring (30.5 ppg). While the Bucs are struggling on offensce, they face a Dallas D that only ranks 28th in points allowed per game (28 ppg).
Cowboys to cover 5.5-point spread in the first half – America’s Team will come out firing, and they will cover the 5.5-point spread in the first half.

The odds for this parlay are +596, so a $100 bet pays $696, for $596 in profit.

More TNF Player Props to Consider in Week 5

Here are some player prop bets we like for this Thursday night NFC matchup.

TNF Player Prop Bet #1: CeeDee Lamb 90+ receiving yards

Lamb leads the NFL in receiving yards (498 yards) and receptions (37) and has at least 112 receiving yards in each of the last three games. He went huge in the last game in the win over Houston with 17 catches for 189 yards.

Best Bet: CeeDee Lamb 90+ receiving yards: (+122, DraftKings)

TNF Player Prop Bet #2: Jalon Daniels 190+ passing yards

Ok, Daniels didn't have the best career start in the last game, throwing for 148 passing yards, a TD, and two picks. However, that game was close in a three-point loss to the Green Bay Packers. I do not see this game being close, so Daniels will have to air it out often, especially in the second half. Also, in this primetime game, he will face a Dallas pass defence that ranks only 24th in the league.

Best Bet: Jalon Daniels 190+ passing yards: (+109, DraftKings)

TNF Player Prop Bet #3: Emeka Egbuka 50+ receiving yards

Again, I expect Dallas to build a big lead, so the Bucs will have to air it out to get back into the game. Egbuka leads all Tampa Bay WRs in receiving yards and has over 60 in two of three games. He will be targeted more in this game, so it is a good value bet that he will go over 50 receiving yards.

Best Bet: Emeka Egbuka 50+ receiving yards: (+155, BetMGM)

TNF Player Prop Bet #4: Brandon Aubrey 2.5+ field goals made

He's been pretty solid this season, and the star kicker has attempted at least three field goals in the last three games, making over 2.5 field goals in two of them.
