Welcome to Monday Night Football, sports betting family. Can you believe that after tonight, we'll be halfway through the regular season? As usual, this week's pro football slate is packed with lots of intriguing matchups across the board.
I've found some expected value on the Cardinals vs Cowboys game, which kicks off at 8:15 PM Eastern Time on ESPN. I've broken down all aspects of this matchup and came up with an early best bet for your wagering pleasures.
Good luck and enjoy the action! This one should be fun to watch, and hopefully it puts money in our pockets. Let's get into the breakdown.
Online sportsbooks opened this line at Dallas -1.5 on the look-ahead back in the summer months. However, that all changed after Arizona went on a massive losing streak. Most online sportsbooks now have the Cowboys as a 3.5-point favorite as of Monday morning.
As for the game total, there's been a huge move toward the Over so far. The line opened at 47.5, but now a few sportsbooks in the US are offering 54.5. Bet365 is offering up a 53.5 if you want to play the Over in this matchup. As always, be sure to shop around for the best price.
Arizona has lost five straight ball games after starting the year out 2-0. The Cardinals have had more than their fair share of bad injury luck. They lost James Conner earlier this season, and Kyler Murray has missed the last couple of games with a foot injury. Backup QB Jacoby Brissett will get the start tonight on the road for 'Zona.
Brissett isn't necessarily a downgrade from Murray. No, he can't run like the wind like Murray, but the salty old veteran can still sling the ball down the field like nobody's business. The former NC State star also has some nice weapons at his disposal (Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr, Zay Jones).
The Cardinals' defense has been a strength of this team so far. They rank 6th in yards per pass allowed, even though their D-line has yet to generate any semblance of a consistent pass rush. Arizona has also played the run decently so far.
Dallas has had an up-and-down season so far, as they're 3-4-1 with that weird tie with Green Bay still hanging on their record. The Cowboys have been humming on offense all year, but they were humbled at the hands of the Broncos last week. Dallas should be fairly mad after that 20-point loss.
Dallas's offense is for real, and they're even more dangerous now that CeeDee Lamb has fully healed up from the ankle injury. He and George Pickens are a dynamic duo at the wideout position for Dak Prescott, who is having a fantastic season. Javonte Williams has also proven to be a nice pickup for this team at running back.
AZ at DAL: 8:15 ET on Monday 11/3
Note: I played this for 0.75 units
Our Anytime TD plays improved to 7-4 after Rashee Rice got us an early rushing touchdown against the Bills yesterday. It's always nice to cash these props early because it really takes the stress out of the rest of the game. I feel pretty good about that same thing happening with Marv Jr. tonight.
Dallas has one of the worst pass defenses in football, as they rank dead last in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Yes, I know that Harrison has only found the end zone twice this season through 7 games. However, I like that his median target number is 6. This may sound nuts, but I think Cards backup QB Jacoby Brissett is a much better passer than injured starter Kyler Murray.
Line value also comes into play here, as Hard Rock is giving us a number that is 30 cents better than FanDuel and 25 cents better than DraftKings! Let's jump on Harrison to hit pay dirt on Monday Night Football. Best of luck, sports betting amigos!
