DALLAS – Week 9 in the NFL comes to a close with a Monday Night Football matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals in what could be a shootout of a matchup.
This has the potential to be an absolute shootout of a matchup, and legal sports betting sites are slightly siding with Dallas to come out on top in this one despite a clear upper hand on the offensive end.
Arizona Cardinals Vs. Dallas Cowboys
- Moneyline: Cardinals (+145) vs. Cowboys (-170)
- Spread: Cowboys -3 (-115)
- Total: 53.5
One of the main factors coming into play, giving the Cowboys the upper hand on offense, is that Kyler Murray will now miss his third consecutive game due to a foot injury, leaving Jacoby Brissett to start once again.

Lean Cowboys To Cover

Also, in their last four games, where the Cowboys have gone 2-2, they are boasting a decent 132-118 scoring margin, which matches up with a cover on the spread with a +3.5 winning margin over those four games.
Making matters even worse for the Cardinals, in the two games that Brissett has started, Arizona has gone 0-2 and has lost both games by an even four points.
