Cardinals vs. Cowboys what another ugly game over the holidays as we had Pittsburgh and Carolina on Thursday where we gave you the Steelers. This time I'm playing the under dog role as Dallas should not be up for this game. Playing on Xmas on the road where they are 1-5 ATS as favorites in their last 6 against an under rated Cardinals team defense.
We know the story they struggle to find a QB and now they have the rookie out of Fordham starting. So what makes me think the Cardinals can cover the spread? Well they are 3-4 at home this year 9-3 ATS in their last 12 as home under dogs and their defense is playing their best ball of the season giving up just an average of 293 total yards over their last 3 games. That would put them #4 on the season in total yard allowed. This is a team that wins on defense at home they beat the Broncos by 30 points, they also beat a good Raiders team here as well as the Saints by 10 and lost to the Bucs by only 3 points. Cards are as bad as any team on the road but when they play at home they are competitive. That's all they will need to be against a Cowboys team that is 4-2 since Garrett took over, but Phillips who called the defense has been missed on that side of the ball where the Cowboys are now giving up 27.3 points per game since his departure. I expect a game played in the 20's with the Cardinals having a chance to win.
