How Does Zeke Elliott’s Slump Impact His Prop Betting Odds

  • Ezekiel Elliott may have a diminished role, but he can still shine for the Dallas Cowboys.
  • Elliott has -115 odds to go over 35.5 rushing yards.
  • He went over 35.5 rushing yards all but two games in the regular season – but those two games were his most recent.

Total Rushing Yards - Ezekiel Elliott Odds

  • Over 35.5 -115
  • Under 35.5 -115

Elliott has -115 odds on either side of 35.5 rushing yards, a number that he hit in every game this season – except his last two.
