Cardinals vs Cowboys Prop Picks, Preview
Jacoby Brissett Over 243.5 Passing Yards (-112)
Jacoby Brissett is set to make another start for the injured Kyler Murray on Monday Night Football, and I like the Cardinals backup to go over his passing yards prop.
Firstly, it makes sense from a game script perspective — the Cowboys are favored and the Cardinals will likely be in chase mode. They’re also facing the second-highest scoring offense in the NFL, so this could become a shootout.
It feels like the Murray era in Arizona could be drawing to a close as Brissett has been the better quarterback when on the field. He’s had two starts, throwing two touchdowns in each game and passing for 320 and 279 yards, respectively.
Now his total sits at 243.5, which seems crazy low considering the Cowboys have given up the second-most yardage through the air per game (258.3 yards).
Brissett has had an extra week to prep for this game during the bye and faces a leaky defense. I expect him to cover with ease.
Pick: Jacoby Brissett Over 243.5 Passing Yards (-112; DraftKings)
Zonovan Knight Under 12.5 Rushing Attempts (+100)
I'm expecting Brissett to throw a lot in this game — that doesn’t bode well for Zonovan Knight, with the team likely to focus on the pass rather than the run, especially with the Cowboys having the second-worst passing defense.
Across two games, Knight's had 11 and 14 carries, respectively.
Knight has secured his spot at the top of the Cardinals' RB depth chart, but he’s not an elite running back and can’t be guaranteed to be locked into a heavy workload, especially with Emari Demercado back in the lineup.
Pick: Zonovan Knight Unver 12.5 Rushing Attempts (+100; Caesars)
George Pickens Over 4.5 Receptions (-114)
The Cowboys look to have gotten a steal trading for George Pickens. He’s been impressive all season, but really shone when CeeDee Lamb was out and he was the main man in the receiving game, breaking 100 yards in two of three games and racking up four touchdowns in that period.
Since Lamb’s return, we’ve seen Pickens take a back seat, but that doesn’t really mean a huge drop in volume.
In the two games since Lamb returned, Pickens has had 15 targets. The Cardinals defense is better against the run than the pass, so we should see Dak Prescott throw a lot, which means Pickens could eat.
Pick: George Pickens Over 4.5 Receptions (-114; DraftKings)
Dak Prescott Over 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+164)
As mentioned above, the Cardinals defense is ranked eighth-worst against the pass; their run defense ranked in the top third. No team in the NFL has thrown for more passing yards per game than the Cowboys.
Dak Prescott has been a touchdown machine this season. He’s thrown for three or more touchdowns in four of eight games so far.
Prescott's only been shut out twice, with the most recent instance being last week — but that came against a stingy Broncos defense.
That game marked the end of a four-game streak of Prescott throwing for at least three touchdowns, but he’s likely to have a big game on Monday Night Football against this weak Cardinals pass defense.
Pick: Dak Prescott Over 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+164; bet365)
