Cardinals at Cowboys picks and predictions
Prediction
Cowboys 42, Cardinals 24
Moneyline
The Cardinals are 4-0 all time at AT&T Stadium and are 4-0 in their last 4 overall meetings with the Cowboys. But they have had a bad defense while the Cowboys field one of the league's best offenses.
Arizona gets rookie RB Jeremiyah Love back, but they are playing with a backup left tackle, a fourth-string right guard and perhaps a backup center. And Arizona's run defense is not good, allowing 4.7 yards per carry ... and they will be without their best interior defender in Nolen.
Dallas' defense isn't good, but the Cardinals haven't shown they can keep up with anyone in a shootout.
The Cowboys win, but the ML isn't a good value.
PASS.
Against the spread
Four of the Cardinals' 5 losses have been by more than 7 points.
Two of the Cowboys' 3 wins have been by more than a touchdown. They are 2-3 (1-1 at home) ATS as favorites.
But since the Cowboys may have found their offense against the Eagles last Monday night, expect them to score easily and often.
BET COWBOYS -7 (-108)
Over/Under
The Over is 5-2 for the Cowboys this season. It is 4-3 for the Cardinals.
Arizona has allowed 30 or more points 5 times. The Cowboys should definitely score at least in the 30s, having done so 4 times this season. The Cowboys have also allowed 24 or more in 4 games.
BET OVER 54.5 (-110).
Best prop bet
CARDINALS RB TYLER ALLGEIER 25+ RUSHING YARDS (+180)
Allgeier has cleared 25 rushing yards 3 times this season. And while Love returns, the rust and workload concerns remain to be seen. Allgeier has had at least 8 rushes in 4 games this season, and the Cowboys allow 4.7 yards per rush. With 6 carries, he should clear 25 yards.
