Monday Night Football in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season features a showdown in the NFC between the Arizona Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams had high expectations coming into the season, but they are already on the verge of finding themselves in situations. Dallas is 3-4-1, while Arizona is well under .500 at 2-5.
Let’s dive into cowboys cowboy cards.
Arizona Cardinals vs Dallas Cowboys Adds
Money Line: Cardinals +145 / Cowboys -170
Spread: Cardinals +3 (-105) / Cowboys -3 (-115)
Total: Over 53.5 (-110) / Under 53.5 (-110)
Arizona Cardinals vs Dallas Cowboys Best Bet #1: Cowboys -3 (-115)
In a stark contrast to last year, the Cowboys are better at home than on the road this season. And it’s not even closed. Dallas is 2-0-1 at Jerry World compared to 1-4 on the road. The case generates 41 points that are scored each within its structure. The cowboys should keep going crazy and with the elimination of the cardinals defense ranked NO. 24 complete in the NFL by Pro Football Focus. Dak Prescott is in MVP form, George Pikens is getting everything, and Javonte Williams is running all over the place. Williams rushed 124 times for 633 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and eight TDs. He has thrown for at least 116 yards in the last two games and has been held to less than 76 yards rushing in the last 7. When opposing defenses have to respect the run game, Prescott can go to work.
As for the Cardinals offense, Jacoby Brissett starts at QB in place of the injured Kyler Murray. Arizona’s passing attack was only getting into the zone early, averaging the fewest yards per attempt in the league. There’s not much to like about this Cardinals game, who are on a five-game winning streak. The cowboys have to win and cover – they may be free.
Arizona Cardinals vs Dallas Cowboys Best Player Player Bet: Bam Knight over 48.5 rushing yards (-114)
Knight has become the RB1 in Arizona mostly by default. James Conner and Trey Benson of Emari Demerado are the only other people talking about it in the backfield. With a large amount of work alone, the knight should be able to exceed his rate of fast zone chasing (it is worth that his line is perfect in zone, which is played at 48.5 in Fanduel but all the way to 53.5 in Draftkings).
The NC State product should be able to take advantage of a Dallas defense that gives up 4.9 rushing yards per game (No. 29 in the NFL). Knight passed for 57 yards on 14 carries in last week’s loss to Green Bay and scored two touchdowns on the last drive. More production should be in store for MNF.
