NFL Picks, Prop Bets for Today’s Late Slate

Kyren Williams Anytime Touchdown (-145)

Rams at Cardinals — 4:05 p.m. ET

The Los Angeles Rams have given Kyren Williams one of the league’s more valuable goal-line roles, and he catches my eye ahead of a date with the Arizona Cardinals.

Williams has scored seven touchdowns in nine games (six rushing, one receiving) while accounting for 67% of the Rams’ carries inside the 10-yard line. His receiving involvement adds another potential path to the end zone: he has already hauled in 36 passes for 258 yards this season.

Williams failed to score against Arizona in an upset loss in Week 6, and Blake Corum remains involved. But Williams’ combination of close-range rushing usage and pass-catching work makes him a credible touchdown pick at -145, and LA may lean heavily on its run game with both its top WRs out.

AJ Barner Anytime Touchdown (+290)

Seahawks at Raiders — 4:05 p.m. ET

AJ Barner has emerged as an intriguing touchdown option for the Seattle Seahawks, thanks largely to his unusual role in the team's short-yardage offense. Seattle has been using the tight end as the ball carrier on its version of the tush push, giving Barner an additional path to the end zone beyond his receiving opportunities.

That role was on full display in Week 9 against Arizona, when Barner scored twice — once on a one-yard tush push and again on a seven-yard reception. He also converted two other short-yardage rushing attempts in that contest. Barner has now logged seven carries for eight yards and two rushing touchdowns this season, demonstrating how valuable those opportunities can be near the goal line.

Barner has also been a consistent part of Seattle's passing offense, recording 23 receptions on 38 targets through nine games. He's played at least 80% of the offensive snaps in seven of his nine appearances, keeping him involved in an offense that can generate scoring opportunities through both the air and on the ground.

In a nice indoors matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, Barner's combination of receiving usage and potential for designed goal-line carries makes him a interesting anytime touchdown candidate at these odds.

Dallas Cowboys Moneyline (+180)

49ers at Cowboys — 4:25 p.m. ET

The Dallas Cowboys have been very tough to predict this season, but I’m intrigued by their moneyline odds against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Cowboys have one of the NFL’s best offenses, ranking sixth in scoring (27.3 points per game) and ninth in offensive EPA per play (+0.097). Dallas has been particularly effective through the air, ranking ninth in EPA per dropback (+0.155). Dak Prescott has thrown for 2,381 yards and 16 touchdowns while CeeDee Lamb has amassed 904 receiving yards and seven scores.

The Cowboys also rank fifth in third-down conversion rate (45.3%), an encouraging number against a San Francisco defense that has surrendered conversions on 40.8% of opponents’ third downs.

San Francisco has been outstanding offensively, but its pass rush hasn’t generated much pressure in terms of sacks, ranking 28th with just 15. Dallas has surrendered sacks on only 3.8% of its dropbacks. Dallas should be able to keep Prescott upright, and Dak can light up any defense when he’s given time.

With a game total of 55.5 points, this contest has the potential to become a shootout, and Dallas possesses enough offensive firepower to keep pace with San Fran. I like Dallas to pull off the upset.
