Cowboys vs. Cardinals Predictions, Picks & Odds Week 3: Dallas Cruises to 3-0 Start

The Dallas Cowboys visit the ArizonaCardinals, as we make our top Cowboys vs. Cardinals predictions based on thebest NFL odds for Week 3.

TheDallas Cowboys are off to a red-hot start. They've outscored their opponents 70-10through two games, and allowed just 386 total yards totheir opponents so far.

Meanwhile,the Arizona Cardinals performed better than many expected them to but failed to pick up any wins. Last week, they blew a 20-point lead tothe New York Giants to drop their second consecutive game by less than a full score.

To accompany our NFL best bets for Week 3, hereis our best Cowboys vs. Cardinals prediction and NFL picks (odds via our best NFL betting sites; pick confidence based on a1-to-5-star scale).

Cowboys vs.Cardinals prediction

Cowboys -12.5 (-110 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thisis a simple bet. The Cowboys are one of the NFL's best teams, and theCardinals are entirely outmatched in this game. Through two matchups, Arizona quarterback Josh Dobbs threw for just 360 yards, and he'll be under constant duress in thisone. While Cowboys’ star cornerback Trevon Diggs is out for the season, it's not a matchup for any potential secondary weakness to be exposed.

Dallas has yet to face a very good QB, but it made New York Jets and Giants signal callers ZachWilson and Daniel Jones, respectively, look downright awful. Its defensive line is amenace, and it'll have a field day against a Cardinals offensive line that has given up three sacks this year.

Whilethe Cardinals lost close games, they’re still not a very good team. What they looked like in the second half against the Giants is what they should look like for the rest of the season. They average 22 points per game, but it'd be shocking to see them comeanywhere near that number against a team with just 10 points allowed on the season.

TheCowboys average 35 points per game so expect them to get near theiraverage again Sunday. When they do, Arizona won’t even come close tocovering this spread.

Asfor the total, the number opened at 43, and stayed there despite 67% ofbettors supporting the Over. With how good the Dallas defense has played,it’s hard to imagine this number going up much with Dobbs and Co.trying to decipher them.
