2024 Dak Prescott Season Odds: Dallas QB Off Big Year
When Prescott is Healthy, He's One of Best in League
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott managed to stay healthy last season and remind fans how good he can be. After playing just 12 games in 2022 and playing hurt in some of those, Prescott rebounded in a big way. He led the NFL with 36 touchdown passes and 410 completions. Prescott was second in the NFL MVP race and Dallas was 12-5 in the regular season. He looks to build off that season and there are no shortages of preseason wagers involving Prescott. The 2024 Dak Prescott season odds are pretty lofty. He’ll have to stay healthy the entire season and there’s already some questions about that.
Professional sports bettor Steve Fezzik said the Dallas Cowboys rumors are saying Prescott isn’t 100%. Fezzik was on the popular Ross Tucker Football Show podcast, hosted by the CBS announcer. He said unconfirmed rumors reported Prescott recently had an MRI. Fezzik said many are betting against Dallas and that’s a big reason why the Cowboys’ win total odds have been dropping the past few days. He did reiterate the rumors were unconfirmed.
NFL Regular Season MVP +1600
Prescott is getting a fair amount of respect here. He’ll have to be at the top of his game all season long to have a shot at winning this. Prescott will be in the top three if he duplicates last season’s numbers, but that may not be quite enough to win. Patrick Mahomes is the solid favorite to walk away with this award.
Offensive Player of the Year +6000
The 2024 Dak Prescott season odds show the Dallas quarterback a bit of a longshot to win the Offensive POY award. Unlike the MVP, which traditionally goes to quarterbacks, the POY sees non-quarterbacks favored. Christian McCaffrey is the favorite, with Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb as the next three choices. Prescott is No. 10 in the odds among quarterbacks.
NFL Passing Yards Leader +600
Prescott is among the favorites here after finishing third behind Tua Tagovailoa and Jared Goff last season. He should be a serious contender to throw for more yards than anybody else this year. The price isn’t ideal, however, and it’s tough to pull the trigger at +600.
NFL Passing TD Leader +750
The odds on Prescott here are a little more generous. Mahomes is the favorite even though he threw just 27 TDs last season. If Prescott can duplicate his numbers of the last two years, he played every game he’ll be near the top of the list. It wouldn’t be a big surprise to see him win this one for a second consecutive season.
Over/Under 4150.5 Passing Yards (Under -125)
Prescott is one of the more popular NFL prop players, so his numbers are typically inflated a little bit. Still, this is one that he could easily go over the number if he stays in the line-up. Prescott has thrown for at least 4,400 yards in each of the last three seasons he played every game. Basically, a wager on the over here is also a wager on Prescott staying healthy. He could possibly miss one game, but any more than that will probably keep it under. There is also the growing trend of coaches resting their starters the final week if a playoff spot is locked up and nothing can be gained. The Eagles should prevent that from happening, but it’s a frustrating way to miss out on a big NFL moneyline payout.
Over/Under 30.5 Passing TDs (Under -130)
This is almost the same wager as above in that Prescott has gone over the number when he’s healthy. Prescott has thrown for 36 and 37 touchdowns in the last two seasons he’s played in each game. He has to be given a strong chance of going over the number if he’s in the line-up every Sunday. If he’s injured for more than two games, an overbet is likely to go down the drain.
Which Bet is Best?
The 2024 Dak Prescott season odds are showing plenty of betting opportunities. The only problem is that all of them are going to determined by Prescott’s health over the course of the season. After playing all 16 games in his first four seasons, Prescott has missed significant time in two of the last four years.
Both of the season-long over/under bets return better than even money on the over. Of the two, the over in passing yards is probably the safest. Prescott could throw for a lot of yards, but not have the TD passes if the Cowboys develop a short-yardage rushing game. There’s little more frustrating for bettors than watching a quarterback lead his team downfield, only to see the team run the ball inside the 5-yard line. If he plays all 17 games, Prescott should go over the total in both teams, so there’s some value at over 4,150.5 yards at +105.
