Don’t let Zeke eat Season upon season! We’ve heard that Zeke Elliott will be used in more in the passing game. This narrative was pushed by Jason Garrett in years gone, and again this off season by Mike McCarthy. As much as this narrative is pushed; it’s rarely been the case. This season started well for Zeke in terms of receptions; over the first 6 weeks he averaged 7 targets resulting in over 5 grabs a game. However, with the offence breaking down without Dak, so have Elliots receptions. The last 4 games, he’s seen an average of just over 2 targets and under 2 receptions per outing. There is odds against with betting firms , that Elliot will have under 2.5 receptions which is an exiting proposition. A safer play may find a line of 3 at just under odds on, meaning if Elliott does have 3 catches it will be classed as a push. Let’s hope Zeeks not eating this thanks giving

Scary Terry to be scary yet again Second year wide out, Terry McLaurin has been a shining light in a mainly dim Washington offence. Averaging over 87 yards a game, only 3 players have put up more receiving yards on the season. Mclaurins big play ability, as well as his proficiency to move the chains, has made him one of the most feared wide receivers in football. In short Scary puts up on a lot of yards, and is coming up against a defence he’s haunted before. In two meetings verse the Dallas Cowboys, he’s averaged 76 yards and a touchdown. This week there’s no reason for this to let up. Averaging 10 targets a game, and 6 receptions a game, the quotes of over 67.5-70 yards for this game are more then reachable. Mclaurin only trails Alvin Kamara in yards after catch for the season; also having 14 catches of 20 yards or more. He’s cleared the estimated total 8/10 weeks; and this is one of the weaker match ups he would have faced. Scary Terry Mclaurin looks a solid play to upset the cowboys defence once again

Comeback Smith. Carry on Smith Without doubt the come back story of the season is Alex smith. Returning from that gruesome leg injury was a borderline miracle, with many expecting him to not walk again; let alone enter the football field. So that being said; it’s great to see somethings haven’t changed with Smith. Throughout his career he averages a measly 1.14 touchdown throws a game; a trend which carried on since his return, throwing 2 touch downs in 4 games; albeit 2 of them he came off of the bench. Smith has only attempted 9 throws whilst the football team have been in the red zone, inside the 20 yard line. Further more, he’s only attempted 2 throws from within the 10 yard line or less. This doesn’t automatically restrict him from throwing touchdowns, but makes it a lot harder. Washington are very much run heavy when it comes to red zone productivity. Alex Smith, Dwayne Haskins and Kyle Allen have mustered only 31 red zone passing attempts between them. Opposed to the 56 running plays which have been called in the same area, within the 20 yard line. Simply put, Washington don’t take risks in the red zone, they run it hard and often. Take the 4/5 on Smith once again throwing under 1.5 touchdowns.
Bet 3 – Alex Smith under 1.5 passing touchdowns – Bet 365
