The Dallas Cowboys registered their first win of the season against a team currently .500 or better in Week 13, downing the Seattle Seahawks in a Thursday night thriller, 41-35. It was the highest-scoring “Thursday Night Football” game of the year, and just the fifth regular-season game in NFL history to not feature a single punt.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was the star of the show, as he completed 29 of 41 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns. His offense scored on eight of nine possessions (not counting kneel-downs), racked up 411 yards of total offense, went 8 of 14 on third downs and did not turn the ball over. Prescott is now squarely in the MVP race, and his odds experienced a massive jump following the Cowboys’ 14th home win in a row.
During the day on Thursday, Prescott was listed at +700 to win NFL MVP at Caesars Sportsbook. He had the fifth-shortest odds behind San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Now, Prescott is +400 to win MVP, trailing just Hurts of the rival Eagles (+210). The best part is that these two MVP favorites face off on “Sunday Night Football” next week.
