Cowboys 41, Cardinals 31

Fourth-quarter defense has been a problem for the Cardinals, having allowed 76 points in that quarter and at least 14 in each of the last 3 fourth quarters.

And Dallas not only has an elite offense overall, averaging 30.8 points per game, but they have also scored at least 40 points in all 3 of their home games.

QB Jacoby Brissett will start for the Cardinals for the third consecutive game. He had led the Cardinals to a more consistent offensive performance, but he has had the ball in his hands in both starts with a chance to win the game and failed to do so.

Arizona’s 25th-ranked pass defense against the league’s No. 1 pass defense will not thrive.

The Cowboys even their record and send the Cardinals to their sixth consecutive loss, but the spread gives you better value.

PASS.

The Cardinals have covered the spread in their last 2 losses and in 3 of their 5 consecutive defeats. But all the Cowboys’ wins have been by at least 3 points.

BET COWBOYS -3 (-115).

The Over has cashed in the Cardinals’ last 3 games and in the Cowboys’ last 5. There have been no fewer than 66 points in the Cowboys’ 3 home games.

The Cowboys score points and the Cardinals can’t stop teams in the fourth quarter.

BET OVER 54 (-110).
