It might as well be a loser leaves town match on Monday Night Football between the Arizona Cardinals (2-5, 1-2 away) and the Dallas Cowboys (3-4-1, 2-0-1 home). Neither team’s playoff hopes can really afford another defeat, and online sportsbooks are expecting Dallas to extend Arizona’s losing streak to six per the latest MNF odds.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15pm ET / 5:15pm PT from AT&T Stadium, in Arlington, TX, with ABC and ESPN providing the broadcast coverage.

According to the NFL public betting percentages, the over is drawing some big-time wagers. That side of the total is only accounting for 13% of the tickets, but those bets represent 40% of the handle.
Cardinals vs Cowboys Picks
Fun fact: Dallas is the first team in NFL history to average 30 points per game and have a negative point differential. The Cowboys are a juggernaut on offense, especially at home, but their defense can’t stop a nosebleed.
Let’s start with the positive Dallas spin. Their offense ranks second in scoring and yards per game entering Week 9, and top-five in EPA/pass and success rate. Dak Prescott had thrown for more yards than anyone else in the NFC, while Javonte Williams has already punched in 8 rushing scores.
Dallas Cowboys Offensive Stats
Dallas has been virtually impossible to stop all season at home, averaging 41.3 points per outing, en route to a 2-0-1 home record. All four home games have easily cleared the total, and I’m banking on the over hitting in my Cardinals vs Cowboys picks as well.
That’s because no matter how good their offense is, it can’t outrun their lousy defense. Dallas owns the second worst scoring defense in the league, and ranks 31st in success rate and EPA/play allowed. No team has given up more passing yards or pass TD, while they’re also bottom-four in rushing touchdowns allowed.
To make matters worse, it’s not like they’ve faced a handful of the top Super Bowl 60 odds contenders so far. Just three of their first eight opponents currently sit in a playoff position, and all three of their wins have come against teams with three wins or less.
That gives me hope that Arizona can punch back offensively in this matchup, even though they’ll be without starting QB Kyler Murray yet again.
Cardinals vs Cowboys Predictions
Murray’s foot injury still lingers, paving the way for another Jacoby Brissett start. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though, as Brissett has looked quite competent in two previous starts.
He’s led the Cards to 27 and 23 points versus the Colts and Packers, nearly upsetting them both. Brissett has been especially kind to Trey McBride’s fantasy owners, peppering him with targets.
The duo has hooked up 18 times in the last two games, for 146 yards and 3 TD. The Cowboys have been giving to enemy tight ends, allowing the 10th most catches to the position, while their anemic pass rush is going to leave Brissett loads of time to throw.
Dallas is bottom-10 in sacks so far this season, which makes you wonder what this defense would have looked like if Micah Parsons was still around.
As for the betting trends, they support over 52.5 points as my Cardinals vs Cowboys prediction as well. The over has hit in five straight Dallas games, clearing the number by double-digit points each time.
