Julian Edlow breaks down his best bet for Cardinals vs. Cowboys on MNF.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys host the Cardinals on MNF to close out NFL Week 9. Anytime Dallas takes the field this season, it\u2019s represented a pretty good opportunity to wager on points being scored. The Cowboys are 6-2 to the over this season, with both unders coming on the road and outside. The total for games played in Dallas this season is 3-0, with an average combined score of over 74 points.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys have been your ideal over team as a bettor, with the league\u2019s second-best offense (30.8 PPG \u2013 behind only Colts<\/a>) and second-worst defense (31.3 PPG allowed \u2013 behind only Bengals<\/a>). Those numbers obviously take a large leap at AT&T Stadium, where the Cowboys average 41.3 points per game, and surrender 33 per game. So the question becomes, can the Cardinals do their part to get this game over the highest total of NFL Week 9?<\/p>\n The total actually moved down from 54.5 to 53.5 when we received word that Kyler Murray was ruled out for Arizona, but I actually think Jacoby Brissett is the quarterback we should prefer in this game. The Cardinals are off the bye, and while the assumption was that Murray would be ready to go, Arizona is sticking with Brissett, who has put together a pair of solid starts. <\/p>\n Despite the Cardinals losing both games, they\u2019ve put up points and hung tough with two of the better teams in the NFL when Brissett starts. Each of Brissett\u2019s starts have seen 50-plus points, with the two losses being final scores of 31-27 at Indianapolis and 27-23 vs. Green Bay. Both games have come indoors, but that will also be the case here on MNF. Brissett put up an average of just shy of 300 passing yards and a pair of passing touchdowns in each game. <\/p>\n I feel Brissett is actually the better option to help Arizona hang points on the board right now, and playing on the road against this Dallas defense represents by far the best matchup Brissett has seen this season. While the Cardinals are decent on defense, they haven\u2019t faced many explosive offenses this season. Indy and Green Bay are the two best, and Arizona gave up an average of 29 points to those opponents. <\/p>\n As has been the case all season in Dallas, I\u2019m expecting both offenses to thrive when they meet on MNF. I\u2019ll play the over on the total at anything below 54. <\/p>\n NFL Pick: ARI\/DAL OVER 53.5 (-110)<\/a><\/p>\n Download the\u00a0DraftKings Sportsbook app<\/a> on\u00a0Apple<\/a> or\u00a0Google<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Julian Edlow breaks down his best bet for Cardinals vs. Cowboys on MNF.
