Arizona vs Dallas Picks and Prediction
Pick: Dallas Cowboys -7
Dallas is the better choice in this matchup because of its offensive upside and home-field advantage. Arizona has struggled to put together complete performances this season, and the Cardinals could have problems keeping pace if Dallas starts quickly. The Cowboys should be able to move the football through the air and generate enough defensive pressure to force Arizona into mistakes. Look for Dallas to control this game and pull away in the second half.
Total Pick: Over 54.5
Both teams have enough offensive opportunities in this matchup to push the final score higher. Dallas should be able to create explosive plays against Arizona, while the Cardinals could find some success offensively if the Cowboys struggle to finish drives defensively. A faster pace in the second half could lead to additional scoring opportunities, especially if Arizona is forced to throw the football while playing from behind.
