The Cardinals are entering this game with a 0-2 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their divisional games too. They are 0-1 in their home games, 0-1 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They lost their last game against the New York Giants 31-28. Joshua Dobbs was the starting QB and he completed 21/31 passes for 228 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 0 interceptions.

Jalen Thompson came away with the only interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Cowboys listed as a 12.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cowboys are 2-0 and even though they have been beating up on 2 bad New York teams, they have still looked really good in their games. They have a lot of weapons in their offense for Dak to utilize and they also have a really good defense that will keep them in games all season. The Cardinals are 0-2 this year but they haven't looked as bad as their record suggests. They have actually taken early leads in both of their games this year, but the story for them is how they have been blowing leads late in games. They come out strong in their games but they will eventually fall apart like they have in their first 2 games this year. They have also played 2 really weak teams with the Commanders and the Giants so the Cowboys will definitely be their toughest test yet. They don't have the offense to keep up in this game and as well as their defense has been playing in games, the Cowboys offense will not be slowed by them and the Cowboys also have a much better defense of their own to lean on. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game.
