The Dallas Cowboys forge on without Dak Prescott, starting on Monday Night Football when they host Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals.

Andy Dalton takes over the offense for the Cowboys (2-3), who despite their record lead the NFC East. The Cardinals (3-2) bounced back from a two-game losing streak by hammering the Jets last Sunday.

The Cowboys haven’t covered the spread in any game this season, but the Cardinals are a terrible 1-8 ATS in their past nine Monday games. Let’s take a look at some of the best NFL betting wagers that fans should consider:

Best Cardinals-Cowboys Odds & Props To Back

NFL odds listed are current as of publication and subject to change.

Cowboys +1

The Cowboys have been one of the league’s top disappointments because the defense has struggled to stop everyone. But the Cardinals haven’t played particularly well or consistently. They have just one game vs. an above-.500 team, and it resulted in a 10-point loss to Carolina. Arizona is 3-0 when it holds teams to 20 points or less and 0-2 when it doesn’t. The Cowboys haven’t scored under 31 since Week 1 and are averaging 36.5 ppg in that span. Locate the best odds for the spread at FanDuel.

Cardinals-Cowboys Over 54.5

Andy Dalton is new to the starting role in Dallas but he’s not new to running a pass-first offense, as he had one for a long time in Cincinnati. His weapons here, however, are better than he had in any season in Cincy. Arizona’s Kyler Murray dropped 385 pass yards on the Jets last week. The Cowboys defense is just as bad. Murray thrives on rolling bad units. There’s no reason this game shouldn’t hit 60-plus. Secure the top odds for the total at Unibet.

Highest Scoring Half – 1st Half

The only time the second half has produced more points than the first half in a Cowboys game was in their remarkable 40-39 comeback over the Falcons. Similarly, just once has the second half usurped the first and that took an academic 22-point fourth quarter in a 30-15 win over Washington. Expect both teams to come out firing in an attempt to take a lead. Get the highest odds for this prop at DraftKings.

Andy Dalton – Over 300 Yards

The Cowboys are going to want to establish Ezekiel Elliott, something they’ve failed to do every game so far. But Dalton will get his chances and he’ll sling it. He had 11 attempts last Sunday and put up 111 yards. Arizona allows 256 ypg, and that includes efforts against the subpar Dwayne Haskins and Joe Flacco. Find the best Dalton prop odds at PointsBet.

DeAndre Hopkins – Over 75 Yards + TD

Hopkins has been very hit or very miss. On three occasions, the Cardinals star finished with more than 130 receiving yards. In the other two games, he hasn’t hit 70. We know Dallas’ defense will offer opportunities, especially if top CB Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) is limited or out. Regardless, Hopkins has 46 targets – nobody else for Arizona has more than 18. He’ll get fed. Find the best Hopkins odds at FOX Bet.
