Best NFL Week 14 PrizePicks Plays - Thursday Night Football
As we begin our dive into the top PrizePicks plays for Thursday night, let it be noted that I -- like many, presumably -- believe the underdog Cowboys are extremely live. Dallas is rolling while Detroit has been hit by injuries, and a hobbled Amon-Ra St. Brown certainly doesn't help. The Cowboys have been playing night-and-day better on the defensive side of the ball, and I'm favoring Dallas on both sides of the ball, which is reflected in my choices below.
Best PrizePicks Picks current as of 6:45 AM ET Thursday.

Isaac TeSlaa 8 Fantasy Score (MORE)
With St. Brown leaving Detroit's Thanksgiving loss early due to injury, TeSlaa played 92 percent of the snaps. Even if St. Brown suits up for Week 14, he will likely be extremely limited after failing to practice all week. I expect TeSlaa to be on the field for at least 70 percent of the snaps, which should translate into plenty of usage in what I believe will be a pass-heavy game script for the Lions. TeSlaa has been a reliable red-zone target, so this could realistically hit on one catch. Tom Kennedy did outproduce him on Turkey Day, but with a full week to prepare, I expect TeSlaa to be more involved than his counterpart Thursday.
Dak Prescott 270.5 Passing Yards (MORE)
Detroit's secondary is banged up, and Prescott enters this matchup with an offense that is at full strength outside of the left tackle spot -- and in a dome, nonetheless. I genuinely don't see what I'm missing here. The only way this isn't a smash spot is if the game turns into a slog and the total winds up way under. I don't see how Detroit consistently covers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, let alone the rest of the weapons in the Dallas offense.
Jake Bates 1.5 FG Made (MORE)
I don't love going with a kicker who plays for the aggressive Dan Campbell, but given Detroit's injuries on the offensive side, I think we could see some additional field-goal attempts as long as the Lions keep it competitive. Rather than going for it on fourth and short-to-medium, I expect Campbell to play things a bit more conservatively and take the points when he can.
