Cardinals vs. Cowboys Picks
Spread Pick for Cardinals vs. Cowboys
- Cardinals +3 (5 units)
These two teams last met in 2023 when the Cardinals won by 12 points at home. Both teams are having their own different disasters this season. Prescott is having a career year and leading one of the best offenses in the league, but the Dallas defense has been in shambles since trading Micah Parsons before the start of the season. It doesn’t look as if they are getting any closer to solving issues on that end, either, after allowing 44 points against Denver. Arizona has not been able to get enough offense weekly, losing each of its five games by four points or less. The Cardinals are at least closer and with a week off, they’ve had a chance to rest up, as well as study their opponent a bit closer. You could certainly find a lot worse backups than Brissett, who has been pretty solid in his two games. He should be able to move the ball well against this Cowboys’ defense, and this should be another tight one for Arizona. The Cardinals are 7-2 SU and ATS in their last nine games versus Dallas.
Take Arizona getting the points.
Over/Under Pick for Cardinals vs. Cowboys
- Over 53.5 (5 units)
These two teams hit the over when they last met, combining to score 44 points versus a 43.5-point total. This game does feature the second-best scoring offense in the league, and while the Cowboys have been inconsistent, they are averaging 41.3 points per game at home this season. They’ve also followed up all of their poor offensive performances by scoring big in the next game. Arizona’s defense is good, but not great, and their lack of pressure will give Prescott time to set up. On the offensive side, the Cardinals should be able to move the ball and get into scoring position against this Dallas defense. The added week of preparation will help them find the right scheme. The over is 10-5 between the two teams this season.
Take the over.
