Dallas is the pick here...anything under 7 is good for me.  I assume tons will jump the over but I'd be very careful with that.  Arizona offense is inept.  The WR's are very good, but it'll take decent QB play to make that a factor.  I just don't know Arizona has any threat of a run game to keep Dallas from focusing heavy on the pass.   Not to say that will shut it down, but will limit it some.  If taking over, make sure you have comfort in Arizona handling their end of the scoring...at least 17.  I expect the Boys to pound the ball on the ground for much of the game.  And also I think the Dallas defense will look to play a good game finally.

    As I see it the 'Boys will be more than content just to pick up the win here. With the miserable season nearing a close, I think the Cards put some effort in here to at least make an effort to win their last home game of the year. While I do have my doubts about that win, a cover here has possibilities.

ARIZONA   +  6.5

  Go small on this play

Early Lean Dallas +7

Oops i mean Dallas -7

Cards got a big problem stopping any legitimate ground game.

Grab it now before it gets to 10. Dallas will destroy the Cards team. Azrizona and Carloina are probably the two worst teams in football. Even Dallas can't F this up, right?

Huge Cowboys fan, and yes the Cowboys pass defense could definitely F this up if Skelton can lob a deep ball to Fitzgerald a few times, but doubt they could screw it up enough to not cover.  As said above, Dallas will definitely focus alot on the ground game with success.  Which will open up the pass for big gains.  Didn't see the Carolina game...how awful did Skelton look?   Is he capable of getting the ball to those WR's deep or is his accuracy lacking strongly? 

The cowgirls have been playing really hard for coach garret.  i believe that boys d will hold the cards to a low score... maybe a 14 tops... with that said ill take the boys... i think the cowboys will make the cards one dimesonial and this will end up a double digit win for the boys...

cowboys with the cover..


be careful with the over guys... the cards may not put up enough points..

DAL -6.5 (2units) Since taking over, Garrett's Boys are averaging 32 PPG, while their D remains their weakness.  AZ lost to the worst team in the league last week.  I'll fade Red Skelton and lay the points. SCORE: Cowboys 33-Cardinals 14.

BOYS AND OVER TEASED!

Don't know what Dallas team total is yet but thats what im waiting to see and will probably take it! Guessing around 25 - 27

Easy , Dallas will stomp them into the dirt

AZ wont even come close

 

You're scores and analysis are right on the money. Arizona is one of the worst teams at stopping the run (actually, only Buffalo & Denver are worse). Cowboys are getting both Barber & Jones back, and with Williams and Bryant out, it's going to be run, run, run - and the Cards won't be able to do anything about it.
Plus, my sister lives in Phoenix, and has gone to the Cards/Cowboys games in the past. She says that there's usually more fans wearing Cowboys gear, and cheering for the Cowboys, than the Cardinals anyways.
Red Skeleton should do about as well as Joe Webb did for the Vikings last Monday night - Dallas -6.5

Dallas will destroy arizona right ! Just in case they dont and arizona actually scores some points , i will play the OVER in this one !!!!!

Only game in Cardinals looked capable was Denver.  FYI, Denver turned the ball over 6 times and AZ started drives on the Denver side of the field 6 times...resulting in 23 points.  With Denver defense being last in NFL in points allowed, their offense was giving easy gifts left and right to AZ.   

Cards also ran for 211 yards.  It was Skelton's first start, and score looked like a huge game for him, yet he only threw for around 41% completions for 146 yards, 0 TD's...QB rating was an awful 56.1.  The defense and running game blew out the Broncos, not Skelton for sure.  And doubt very seriously Cards defense will shut down the explosive boys offense.  Also, AZ will have a much harder time running the ball, while Dallas pounds away on the ground.  Any chance the Cards have rides on Skelton, and looking at his numbers...under 50% completions, less than 200 yards/game, and 0TD's / 1 INT...don't think Skelton can make Dallas pay as consistently for their coverage problems as most others have.  Cowboys!!!

The cards plain out SUCK this year, they lost to the Panthers last week.  Dallas have won 4 of the 6 last games, losing to New Orleans and Philly by 3 each 
dallas  6.5- bought half a point

Got the Dallas team total at over 26.   Since JG has taken over the reigns, Dallas has averaged 32 points in 6 games.  Not once scoring under 27...and going over 30 four times.  Only thing that concerns me is I feel Dallas will try to pound the ball even more than usual in this one, which will eat clock if they move the ball well as I expect.  Still think Dallas will break 26 though.

I don't care if it's Dallas -6, -7 or -10. I'm certain that Dallas puts up 30+ points on the horrible Arizona D# and I'm having a hard time imagining Zona doing much offensively even against a poor Dallas defense. 

DALLAS
