Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 3 game
Editor’s note: Follow all the NFL Week 3 action with USA TODAY Sports’ live coverage.
One of the biggest betting mismatches of the NFL season takes place during Week 3 when the Dallas Cowboys (2-0) face the Arizona Cardinals (0-2).
It's been nothing but complete dominance from Dallas, as the Cowboys have scored easy victories from the New York teams by a combined score of 70-10. Micah Parsons and the defense have wrecked havoc, while the offense continues to put up points and make it even harder for teams to try and come back from.
Clearly a team in rebuild, it looked like Arizona would get a bright spot early in the year when they were up 20-0 at halftime against the reeling New York Giants. Instead, it blew its three score lead and lost 31-28 in a second half collapse. Now, Arizona fans are wondering when, and if, this team gets its first win of the season.

Lorenzo Reyes: Cowboys 33, Cardinals 3
This also has the makings of an absolute blowout. The Dallas pass rush is ferocious and the defense constantly generates turnovers. Dak Prescott is on a mission to quiet doubters about interceptions. The Cardinals have one of the worst rosters in the NFL. This one will get ugly.
Tyler Dragon: Cowboys 28, Cardinals 13
Micah Parsons is the early favorite for NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Cowboys have the No. 1 ranked defense in the NFL. The Cowboys should feast on a talent deprived Cardinals team.
Victoria Hernandez: Cowboys 35, Cardinals 12
The Cowboys are the most dominant team in the NFL so far and that will not stop in Week 3 on the road. The Cardinals have been surprisingly productive without quarterback Kyler Murray, but they’re no threat to this top-notch defense. Dallas covers the spread easily.
Jordan Mendoza: Cowboys 38, Cardinals 9
This game could get really ugly and it could happen really fast. The Cowboys defense is going to feast on a struggling Arizona offense, and Dak Prescott should have no concerns when on the field. I wouldn't expect this game to be close.
