Cardinals vs Cowboys Predictions: NFL Week 9 Monday Night Football Preview

Arizona Cardinals @ Dallas Cowboys 

Line: Cowboys -3.5 

Total: 53.5 

 

We are expected to see offensive fireworks tonight in the finale of the Week 9 NFL slate. Arizona travels to JerryWorld to take on the Cowboys, and they will once again start Jacoby Brissett at QB. Brissett has been much more capable of running the offense than the most recent version of Kyler Murray – and while the Cards are winless with Brissett at the helm they have both been close losses to good teams in the Colts and Packers. Dallas has one of the worst defenses in football – and I’m not sure that people are properly analyzing this Cardinals team. Arizona comes into tonight just -1 in the point differential department. They’ve suffered close losses all season and ultimately haven’t played as bad as their record indicates. This is a spot to buy low on them against a vulnerable defense indoors with what I view as a better QB operating the offense. 

 

The Cowboys offense has been absolutely electric this season, especially at home, but the Cardinals defense is going to benefit from coming off the bye week here. I do expect this to be a close game, but I’m looking at the underdog to make some noise on Monday night. 

 

Score Prediction: Cardinals 28, Cowboys 27
