Professional Sports Bettor Steve Fezzik - @FezzikSports breaks down the NFL week with his trusted handicapping expertise— and injury intel powered by SIC Health Scores to see which game offers the sharpest betting edge this week.
Cowboys RB Javonte Williams Nursing Injury, Target Under
This Christmas Day matchup sets up poorly for Javonte Williams, making the under on his rushing yards the preferred angle.
Williams has been listed on the injury report with a neck issue, which is a major concern for a running back. Neck injuries often limit a player’s willingness or ability to absorb contact and finish runs, and even when active, effectiveness can drop quickly.
Recent production backs it up. Williams has gone under this rushing-yard prop in three of the last four weeks, struggling to find consistency and efficiency on the ground. That trend aligns with broader offensive issues rather than fluky game scripts.
The Dallas Cowboys are also dealing with offensive line injuries heading into Christmas. A compromised line limits run lanes and second-level push, making it difficult for any Cowboys running back to generate chunk plays. If Dallas falls behind or shifts toward a pass-heavy script, rushing volume becomes even more fragile.
When you combine a banged-up running back, declining recent results, and offensive line problems, this profiles as another down rushing spot.
Bet: Javonte Willians Under 74.5 Rushing Yards 🎄
