NFL 'MNF' Week 6: Best bets and preview for Chargers vs. Cowboys

Quarterback Justin Herbert, running back Austin Ekeler, pass rusher Joey Bosa, safety Derwin James and offensive tackle Rashawn Slater are all expected to play despite taking up space on the injury report all week. As for the Cowboys, they've already ruled out cornerback C.J. Goodwin and linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, but there aren't any other major injuries affecting this matchup. 

'Monday Night Football' best bets

Under 51 (-115 DraftKings)

When you think of these two offenses facing off with perfect field conditions and perfect weather, you probably think points. Well, we're fading those thoughts and rolling with the under 51.

This Cowboys offense hasn't been impressive through five weeks. Dallas has relied on its defense to create short fields and put up points themselves, and Prescott has been as inconsistent as any quarterback in the NFL. The Cowboys have also struggled to finish drives with touchdowns, as they rank 27th in the league in red zone touchdown percentage (36.8 percent).

As for the Chargers, they'll likely struggle against Dallas' elite defensive unit with Herbert playing through a broken finger and Ekeler returning to the field for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 1. 

Will there be overtime? Yes (+1340 FanDuel)

Let's have some fun with our second pick, shall we?

We didn't see an overtime game in Week 6, but this is a prime candidate to get wacky. Think about it. Two head coaches known for head-scratching decisions on game day, two capable offenses and kickers, and a small spread that insinuates these two teams are close to equal. At this price, it's worth a shot.
