The Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys lock up on Monday Night Football.
The pregame narrative: Kyler Murray is questionable to be active in this game, but it doesn’t matter much. Jacoby Brissett is the starter, and he’ll lead Arizona into battle against the Cowboys. Dallas looks to respond with a convincing home win after a lopsided road loss.

Cardinals vs. Cowboys predictions
SGP: Harrison over 57.5 receiving yards | Cardinals +7.5 | Over 53.5 points (+310)
Harrison over 57.5 receiving yards (-114): Lofty expectations were placed on Harrison after being selected fourth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
But the second-year wideout hasn’t lived up to them. After finishing with a solid yet unspectacular 885 receiving yards, Harrison is currently on pace for 961 receiving yards.
Again, that’s not going to blow anybody away.
But a lot is working in his favour ahead of Monday Night Football.
-> Bet on Marvin Harrison against the Cowboys
Firstly, he’s starting to trend up. Harrison has topped this total in three of his last four games, averaging 63.5 yards per contest.
Secondly, the matchup is about as good as it gets. Dallas is surrendering the second-most receiving yards per game to opposing wideouts (172.3).
The Cowboys remain extremely banged up in the secondary, too. Donovan Wilson, Malik Hooker and Trevon Diggs are out, while Junayeh Thomas is questionable to play.
Harrison should be able to break some big gains against this defence.
Monday Night Football SGP picks
Cardinals +7.5 (-250): I’ll happily fade Dallas as a favourite and tease Arizona up.
I simply can’t trust the Cowboys’ defence to cover this spread. Here’s where the unit ranks in several key categories:
- 31st in points against (31.3).
- T-32nd in opponent yards per play (6.2).
- 29th in penalties per game (8.4)
Naturally, they’ve only won by eight or more in two of eight games this season.

Nobody is confusing the Cardinals for a contender, but they’ve covered this spread in all seven games this season.
Over 53.5 points (-107): Lastly, I’m expecting a high-scoring game.
Dallas’ defensive injuries can’t be ignored. In addition to the injuries to the secondary, the unit is missing linebackers DeMarvion Overshown and Jack Sanborn.
With all of these absences, even a backup QB like Brissett should be able to move the football.
The thing about Dallas, however, is that it will score its points.
The Cowboys are second in points per game (30.8) and first in scoring at home (41.3).
Both offences will be able to move the ball and push this total over the number.
