Cardinals vs. Cowboys Week 8 Betting Odds, Prediction and Picks: Cowboys Lay 7 at Home
The Dallas Cowboys look to build on last week’s impressive 38-21 victory over Philadelphia, and tally consecutive wins for the first time since last Thanksgiving, when they host the struggling Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon in NFL Week 8 betting action at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys snapped a two-game slide and seized sole possession of second place in the NFC East with last week’s win. Conversely, the Cardinals saw their early season woes extended with a 30-16 loss to Denver last weekend to fall to 2-5 SU on the season.
The Cowboys have rocketed to 7-point home favourites on the NFL Week 8 odds while the Cardinals have dropped to +250 underdogs on the NFL moneyline. The total is pegged at 54.5.

NFL Betting Odds, Point Spread, Trends
The Cardinals have won eight of nine meetings, capped by a decisive 27-17 victory in Dallas 52 weeks ago. The Cards have claimed victory by double digits in four of their past five head-to-head victories, and have limited the Cowboys to 17 or fewer points in five of their past seven dates, extending a steady 8-1 ATS run.
However, the Cardinals have struggled overall this season, particularly on defence, allowing 30+ points in each of their five losses to date, four of which have come by double-digit margins. But Arizona has still managed to eke out a 3-4 ATS record, with each of those ATS wins coming on the road.
The Cowboys are coming off a dominant performance after struggling to score just 14.5 points per game in a preceding two-game slide. Last week’s 38-21 win marked the fourth time this season that Dallas has scored 30+ points, and have now gone 4-2 ATS in their past six games while see the OVER go 8-2 in their past 10 outings.
NFL Player Odds and Props
With the Cardinals backfield decimated by injuries, Trey McBride could be in for another big assignment. The Arizona tight end is coming off a 111-yard, one-TD performance in last week’s loss to the Broncos, and is a solid pick on the NFL player props as a -115 bet to compile OVER 73.5 receiving yards.
Dak Prescott completed just 15 of 27 passes last week versus Philly, but still found the end zone three times, and could be poised to bust out against a Cardinals pass defence that has allowed a league-worst 17 TD passes. Accordingly, Prescott should not be overlooked as a +125 bet to connect for OVER 2.5 scoring passes for the third time this season.
Arizona Cardinals
Veteran Jacoby Brissett has led the offence through Arizona’s first six games, and while the results have been disappointing at time, head coach Mike LaFleur has confirmed that he does not intend to make a change. Brissett has tossed for 1600 yards and 10 TDs against six picks and has seen his best performances come on the road this year. Trey McBride remains Arizona’s primary receiving threat. However, injuries remain a concern. Rushers James Conner and Trey Benson remain on injured reserve, while Jeremiyah Love has been managing an ankle injury and Tyler Allgeier has been dealing with a toe problem.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys generated 416 yards of total offence in their win over the Eagles, with Dak Prescott throwing for 212 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Javonte Williams rushed for 155 yards and a touchdown. Prescott has an impressive collection of receiving options led by CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Lamb has compiled 70+ receiving yards in five of six outings, topping 110 yards three times. However, Pickens has been managing shoulder and hamstring issues, leaving his status for Sunday uncertain. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has also been dealing with a hamstring issue, while linebacker Dee Winters and safety Caleb Downs have also appeared on the injury report.
