Overview
The Dallas Cowboys sit at 3-4 and have won one straight after blowing out the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21 on the road Monday, October 26, 2026. Before that win, Dallas dropped a 13-23 decision to the Green Bay Packers and a 16-24 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but also knocked off the Houston Texans 34-30 and fell to the Baltimore Ravens 31-34. The Cowboys have scored 189 points against 180 allowed on the season.
The Arizona Cardinals arrive at 2-5 and have lost one straight, falling 16-30 to the Denver Broncos at home. Before that, Arizona beat the Los Angeles Rams 18-16 on the road, lost 21-45 to the Detroit Lions, lost 24-36 to the New York Giants, and lost 30-36 to the San Francisco 49ers. The Cardinals have been outscored 208-142 on the year.
Dallas has the clear edge here. The Cowboys are favored by 7.0 points at home, they're coming off a 38-21 statement win, and Javonte Williams is running the ball as well as anyone in the league right now. Arizona's defense has allowed 208 points through seven games, and that's the number that should worry Cardinals fans most.
Key players
Dak Prescott threw for three touchdowns and posted a 118.1 rating last week, marking his 43rd career game with three-plus touchdown passes, tied for the 5th-most by any player through his first 11 seasons.
CeeDee Lamb caught five passes for 74 yards and two touchdowns last week and ranks 2nd in the NFL in receiving yards with 651 and tied-2nd in receiving touchdowns with six.
Javonte Williams rushed for a career-high 155 yards and his 30th career rushing touchdown last week, and he's tied for 1st in the NFL with eight rushing touchdowns this season.
George Pickens is questionable with a shoulder injury but scored his 23rd career receiving touchdown last week and is chasing a sixth straight game with 50-plus receiving yards.
Brandon Aubrey projects for 9.8 DraftKings points as Dallas's kicker, a steady option in a game both sides expect to put points on the board.
Keys to the game
Dallas needs to keep feeding Javonte Williams, who has a rushing touchdown in each of his last five games and is aiming for a sixth in a row.
Dak Prescott has thrown for 275-plus yards in five of his past six games at AT&T Stadium, and Dallas should let him attack through the air early against this Cardinals defense.
On the other side of the ball, Dallas has to find a way to slow down Trey McBride, who leads the NFL with 59 catches and piled up 10 grabs for 111 yards and his 21st career receiving touchdown last week.
Fantasy angles
Start Dak Prescott with confidence. He's projected for 21.5 DraftKings points and has thrown for 275-plus yards in five of his last six home games.
CeeDee Lamb is a must-start at 19.5 projected points, coming off a two-touchdown game and sitting 2nd in the NFL in receiving yards.
Javonte Williams is in must-start territory at 18.5 projected points given his five-game rushing touchdown streak and a career-high 155 yards last time out.
George Pickens projects for 14.5 points but carries a questionable tag with a shoulder issue, so check his status before locking him into lineups.
Brandon Aubrey, projected for 9.8 points, is worth a look in a game with a total that points toward plenty of scoring chances for Dallas.
Prediction
The market sees this one going Dallas's way, 31-24. That lines up with a Cowboys team riding a blowout win and a hot Javonte Williams against a Cardinals defense that's been giving up points in bunches. Expect Dallas to control the ground game and lean on Dak Prescott through the air to cover the number.
