How to Bet Cardinals vs. Cowboys in Arizona

I’m leaning towards Arizona to cover as 12-point underdogs in this matchup. Arizona demonstrated a strong rushing game in their recent game against New York and is expected to continue in the same vein. I’ll be placing my bet on Arizona before the game kicks off.

My choice for this game is the under as the over/under line is set higher than the lines in all of Arizona’s previous games this season. We see this line as too generous for these teams, and we anticipate the game will remain under 43.5.
