The Cardinals' pass defense isn't anything to write home about, either. They, too, are among the worst in the NFL, giving up 234 yards per game through the air. In a likely shootout, prepare for Prescott to drop back close to 40 times.

Prescott is armed with two of the most elite deep threats in football in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, so I'll take this Over any day of the week in a matchup destined for a ton of points. Prescott has flown over this number in three of his last four matchups, and with Arizona averaging 24 opponent passing completions per game, I'm expecting one of them to be a long shot for Dallas.

Prescott captains the best passing offense in football, a unit averaging 263.5 yards through the air per game. One of the main reasons behind this surging passing offense is that Dallas consistently finds itself in shootouts, with a passing defense ranking third-last while allowing 253 yards per game through the air, giving up 31 points per game in the process. The only team coughing up more points is the Cincinnati Bengals, and they could be the worst defense these two eyes have ever seen. Look for the Cardinals to score, and for Dak to be slinging the rock all night long.

Jacoby Brissett's last extended run as a starter came in 2022, when he recorded a respectable 243 rushing yards with two touchdowns. That came after the veteran logged two four-touchdown seasons earlier in his career. And now, after registering 45 rushing yards across his last two games, Brissett gets to face a Cowboys defense that's permitted the third-most rushing yards to quarterbacks (220), and it's tied for the third-most touchdowns allowed (three).

The Cowboys have coughed up a league-worst 15 touchdowns to wideouts, and their 29.5 fantasy points allowed per game to wide receivers is also a league high. Trey McBride dominates targets in the Cardinals' offense at 66 so far, but Marvin Harrison Jr. is easily first among Arizona's wideouts, with a considerable gap between him at 40 and Michael Wilson at 27.

There's lots of love to go around on the league's second-ranked passing offense, and Pickens has readily demonstrated his taste for touchdowns while scoring six times already, putting him tied for fourth in the NFL in receiving TDs.

Total
Arizona Cardinals logo Dallas Cowboys logo o53.5 (-115)
Best Odds
Pick made: 4 hours ago

The Cowboys have scored 40+ points in all three home games, contributing to the Over hitting in all three contests by an NFL-high average margin of +25.5 PPG.

Four of seven games involving the Cardinals have hit the Over. Arizona's last two games are the only two in its season to have hit 50+ total points.

Receptions Made
Bam Knight logo Bam Knight o2.5 Receptions Made (+145)
Best Odds
Pick made: 4 hours ago

Knight garnered 17 touches, including three receptions, and was far more productive against the Packers than Michael Carter was in the game.

We're looking for Knight to match that catch count against a Dallas defense allowing the fifth-most receptions per game (5.12) to running backs.

Score a Touchdown
Trey McBride logo Trey McBride Score a Touchdown (Yes: +105)
Best Odds
Pick made: 4 hours ago

Jacoby Brissett is expected to make another start at QB for the Cardinals on Monday night, which could mean good news for Trey McBride's prospects for finding the end zone.

Brissett has connected with McBride for three touchdowns over his past two starts—more scores than McBride had in all last season.

I'm attracted to Michael Carter's work in the Cards' passing game. His 12 targets through four games are the most of the team's available running backs. He secured nine of those looks for 77 yards. The Cowboys have held running backs to a respectable seven touchdowns on the ground but an additional three through the passing game, along with an 80.4% catch rate.

Jacoby Brissett will draw another start for the Cardinals tonight, and that should benefit Michael Wilson. The third-year receiver caught seven of nine targets for 84 yards over the last two games. The Cowboys have allowed a league-high 15 touchdowns to wide receivers through eight games, with a 69.6% catch rate and an average of 9.99 yards per target.

This is a very favorable matchup for Jake Ferguson and other Cowboys tight ends. The Cardinals have held wide receivers to just three touchdowns and a 62.2% catch rate through seven games, but tight ends catch 77.9% of their targets and have scored an equal three touchdowns versus Arizona.

Kyler Murray not starting is fortuitous news for the Cowboys, as the Cardinals' No. 1 quarterback is 9-0 at AT&T Stadium.

While stand-in QB Jacoby Brissett has played well in Murray's absence, he doesn't offer the same dual-threat ability.

Bam Knight's red-zone usuage is key, as he's received seven carries near the end zone to Michael Carter's four, turning that into two touchdowns across his last three games. Knight will take that usage and scoring touch against a Dallas Cowboys defense that's getting torched in every way, and particularly on the ground while allowing 146 rushing yards per game (29th).

Prescott will likely once again have to make up for a porous Cowboys defense that allows 31.3 points per game. 

Dallas is the first team in NFL history to score 40 or more points in each of its first three home games to begin a season. Prescott is looking to throw three or more touchdown passes for the fifth time in six games.

Knight has played nearly 50% of the snaps and has seen more than 50% of the team’s rushing attempts over the last two games, which paid off in a score in two of the previous three. He faces a Cowboys defense that has allowed 10 total touchdowns to running backs this season.

McBride has five or more receptions in each of his last nine games dating back to last season.

Each of Arizona’s five losses have been by four or fewer points, tying the longest streak in NFL history. With a week off to prepare and with Dallas’ offensive line coming off a season-worst 41% Pass Block Win Rate, I am backing the Cardinals to end their losing skid.

The Cowboys are coming off a spanking at the hands of the Denver Broncos, but they can still be one of the league's most elite offenses. Yes, the defense needs help - and a lot of it - but these Cardinals are nothing to be afraid of. The Cowboys and Dak will bounce back huge in prime time here.

The Colts had their four-game winning streak snapped in a 27-20 loss after uncharacteristically committing six turnovers, when they had just four turnovers through their first eight games.

Atlanta is not looking for moral victories amid a three-game losing streak. But it can take solace in the fact that Drake London became the first Falcon with 100-plus receiving yards and at least three touchdown receptions in a game since Calvin Ridley did it in 2018.

The Vikings came back to life this week in J.J. McCarthy's return in a shocking upset win over the Lions. But I'm still more impressed with what I've seen from the Ravens over the last three weeks - and especially last week in Lamar Jackson's own return to action.

The Buccaneers felt like a team of destiny early in the year, though the good vibes faded when virtually all of their best skill-position stars went down. Even after a bye, Tampa Bay won't be whole in this matchup with a still-underrated Patriots team led by a true MVP candidate in Drake Maye.

I'm assuming C.J. Stroud will be available for this matchup, but either way his injury isn't a great sign for a Texans offense that still can't quite find its rhythm. I'm willing to buy into the Jaguars for another week, though it's not among my most confident plays of the week.

If you can still bet the Lions -3.5, do so immediately with Jayden Daniels set to miss time for the Commanders. I'd still play this up to -9.5 (you can get better than that anywhere right now), as Detroit's defense is still massively underrated and should feast on this Marcus Mariota-led group.

We’re on top of every shift throughout the calendar year and will be providing weekly updates through the season.

Super Bowl odds shift due to team and player performance, injuries, trades, and other news.

Don’t just bet the favorites, as we look for value opportunities before teams get hot and rise to the top of the oddsboard.

Super Bowl futures odds for the next season are typically posted during the NFL playoffs and before that season’s champion is crowned. You can bet on which team will win the Super Bowl more than a year in advance of the championship game.

TeamOdds to win Super Bowl (before Week 1)
Kansas City Chiefs+600 (bet $100 to win $600 profit)
San Francisco 49ers+700
Baltimore Ravens+900
Buffalo Bills+1100
Detroit Lions+1400
  • Super Bowl odds are typically moneyline style and reflect implied win probability
  • Favorites to win the Big Game often range from +500 to +800 early in the season
  • Long shots can be +5000 or longer

You can place a variety of bets leading up to and during the Big Game:

  • Futures
    • Pick who will win the Super Bowl
    • Example: Dallas Cowboys to win Super Bowl at +1200
  • Game line
    • Bet on the point spread, moneyline, or Over/Under once the matchup is set
  • Player props
    • Patrick Mahomes Over/Under 2.5 touchdown passes
    • Travis Kelce anytime touchdown scorer (+110)

We advise entering the season with a couple of Super Bowl long-shot picks in your pocket. Wait for the best buy-point on the favorite(s) of your choice. You’ll be better off betting these teams following a loss than amid a winning streak. When expectations drop, that’s often the best time to find longer odds.

Once the Super Bowl comes around, treat it as any other game.

Super Bowl novelty props

Super Bowl novelty props are fun, entertainment-style wagers unique to the Super Bowl. These bet types are random, almost completely unpredictable, and may literally come down to a 50/50 coin flip. These wagers should be made with reduced investments solely for fun.

Popular novelty props:

  • Coin toss: Heads or Tails (usually -105 or -110 so that the sportsbooks take their cut, or vig)
  • Length of national anthem: Over/Under (i.e., 1 minute, 59 seconds)
  • Gatorade color poured on winning coach: Orange, Blue, Clear, etc.
  • Halftime show props: First song performed, surprise guest appearances
  • MVP speech: Will the MVP mention "teammates" or "God" first?

Some sportsbooks even offer live betting on commercials, celebrities in attendance, or camera shots during the game.

Free NFL moneyline picks

A moneyline pick is simply wagering on who will win a game - no point spreads involved. Odds show favorites with a minus (‑) and underdogs with a plus (+). Either team needs to just win by any margin to cash bets on their side.

Imagine the Bills are favorites and the Jets are underdogs:

TeamMoneyline odds
Bills–250
Jets+400
  • $100 on Bills (‑250) → Profit = $100 × (100 / 250) = $40 (total payout $140)
  • $100 on Jets (+400) → Profit = $100 × 4 = $400 (total payout $500)

Free NFL Over/Under picks

Over/Under betting doesn’t care who wins the game, just how many points are scored.

  • Book sets a line → i.e., Over/Under 54.5
  • You choose:
    • Over 54.5
    • Under 54.5
  • Odds are usually around –110, meaning you bet $110 to win $100 (and your $110 stake returns $210 total)
  • If the final score is:
    • 48–22 (total 70) → Over wins
    • 24–23 (total 47) → Under wins
  • Pushes are avoided thanks to the half-point; i.e., 54.5 guarantees Over or Under wins
    • If the total is set at 54 and that’s the exact final score, all bets on either side will be refunded (voided) as a tie
  • You can also bet on the point total in each half or quarter, or for each team

Free NFL spread picks

Our expert picks typically focus on picks against the spread as one of the most popular NFL picks. Spreads handicap matchups by setting a number teams need to cover via winning by more than that amount or losing by less than that amount.

  • The favorite is shown with a minus (–) and must win by more than the spread to cover
  • The underdog has a plus (+) and must either win outright or lose by fewer points than the spread
  • Spreads often include a .5 (i.e., 3.5) to avoid a tie or “push.” If the final margin equals the exact spread, bets are refunded as a tie
  • Key numbers such as 3, 7, and 10 are considered to represent the best bets as they represent scoring increments and you can bet on teams to win by or less than those common numbers

Free NFL prop picks

NFL player props offer the best chance to bet on your favorite (or most disliked) players. It’s also the place bettors look to attack narratives and news, and our NFL prop betting sites are generally slower to adjust these lines and odds than they are to move the game lines. Looking to back a player in a revenge game against his former team, or think your team’s WR2 will have a big day with the WR1 nursing an injury during practice? Then NFL props are for you. Rush out to these markets at your favorite sportsbook(s) whenever you see a trusted report or breaking news. We’ll also have your back by tracking that info with our NFL picks.

Betting lines are often in the form of Over/Unders for a set line of yards, pass competitions or attempts, touchdowns, or receptions/rushing attempts. Other prop bets are Yes/No bets, or just Yes bets, such as anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

Alternate lines offer the opportunity to get higher or lower odds when you’re more or less confident in the standard prop bet line. Are you convinced Patrick Mahomes will go Over his standard passing yards line of 257.5? Try betting Mahomes to finish with 280+ passing yards. Not comfortable betting Josh Allen’s Under on a line of 285.5 yards? Bet Allen to finish with 220+ passing yards, or the Under on an alternate line of 275.5 in a difficult matchup.

These alternate lines with shorter odds can be added to parlays and SGPs to boost the overall payout while maintaining a high probability of each leg hitting.

Anytime touchdown scorer props, and related markets such as first touchdown scorer, last touchdown scorer, and multiple touchdown scorer props, are among the most popular of all NFL prop picks. These can provide instant gratification with quick payouts, or offer a full-game sweat. It’s also abundantly clear when you’ve won the bet while watching the game, and you can get score notifications to your mobile device if you’re not watching RedZone.

NFL props extend beyond player props. Here are a couple examples of widely-available team and game props for every game.

Team props:

  • Eagles Over 2.5 total touchdowns (+105)
  • Jets first team to score (-110)

Game/event props:

  • Opening kickoff to be a touchback (-125)
  • Any player to score a defensive touchdown (+900)
  • Will there be a safety? Yes +750

NFL live betting (also called in-game betting) lets you place wagers after the game has started, with odds that change in real time based on the game’s progress.

This allows you to react to the action and potentially find better value than pregame lines. Live betting largely negates the sportsbooks’ inherent advantage over bettors, as oddsmakers at our best live betting sites and viewers are reacting in real time to the events of any game.

Sportsbooks update spreads, totals, moneylines, and props throughout the game based on:

  • Score
  • Possession
  • Injuries
  • Time remaining
  • Player performance

Popular NFL live betting options

  • Live spread
    • Example: Chiefs -2.5 vs. Bills (after falling behind 10–0)
    • Odds might now favor the underdog if momentum shifts
  • Live total (Over/Under)
    • If the game starts slow, the total might drop from 48.5 to 42.5
    • You can bet the Over if you expect more scoring in the second half
  • Live moneyline
    • Odds on the trailing team lengthen the longer they’re behind
    • Example: Bet +250 on the Bengals to come back from a 14–3 deficit when they were +105 on the pregame moneyline
  • Next play / drive props
    • Will the next play be a run or pass?
    • Will the next drive end in a touchdown?
    • Who’ll score the next touchdown?

Strategy tips

  • Watch momentum: Injury, weather, or defensive adjustments can shift game flow
  • Shop around: Different sportsbooks may offer very different live lines depending on how their oddsmakers are reacting to the game, and where they faced a higher liability based on the pregame handle
  • Use delays wisely: Streaming delays can hurt - bet early or during timeouts if possible
  • Bet with context: Don’t chase value without understanding the matchup

How we make our NFL picks & predictions

Our No. 1 focus at Sportsbook Review is always on price shopping and finding you the best betting line and odds for each pick from our best NFL betting sites. Why should you pay more (bet shorter odds) when you can fetch a greater profit at a different sportsbook, all while needing the exact same outcome on your bet?

This is the most important part of the process for any NFL game picks, player props, and futures bets. To be a winning bettor over the long term, you simply can’t be leaving money on the table by betting shorter odds when better numbers are out there.

However, this step typically follows our experts' analysis of matchups using advanced statistics, as well as player and team performance, to determine their best bets in any given betting market. Following along with snap counts, red-zone usage, targets, and more is essential to successful NFL player prop betting. Certain matchups favor running backs over wide receivers, or slot receivers over wideouts, and we always look to who’s best equipped for success in those matchups when starting our game picks and player props.

We caution against putting too much emphasis on injuries, weather, or any narrative or news-based factor. The sportsbooks are almost always ahead of this when it comes to setting and adjusting their lines. Bettors don’t have an edge just because Patrick Mahomes won’t be playing against the Broncos on Sunday. That’s already been baked into the lines. To help with that, we look at the opening lines each week for the following week’s slate of games, and we track that movement multiple times after the lines open on the previous Wednesday. This can help you get closing line value (CLV) if the line moves too far in either direction from what oddsmakers initially made it. These early lines can help protect you from overreacting to any single wins or losses. Trust the oddsmakers.

It’s important to balance betting on favorites, underdogs, and long shots. Favorites come with shorter odds for a reason, but they don’t always win. It’s equally important to know that longer odds represent a lower probability of a winning bet. Keep a level head when assessing the weekly lines and remove personal bias from your handicapping. The general public often overreacts to any sort of injury or weather implications. Know when to be conservative and when to bet an Under or the underdog on an inflated total or spread.

Diversify your betting portfolio, manage your bankroll, and track your results.

Why trust our experts?

Sportsbook Review has been around for more than 20 years, and is a trusted source of betting picks as well as honest reviews of our best sports betting sites.

We carefully match our betting experts to the sports and topics they’re most passionate about to recommend picks they’re betting themselves. Our 1-to-5-star confidence rating is based on the matchup, their research, and the implied probability of the odds. It’s rare to see a 5-star pick on touchdown predictions, as well as futures bets, due to the inherent nature of those betting markets and the lower implied probability of the longer odds.

You’ll see many of our NFL betting experts covering the same teams or offering picks on the same markets each week as they focus on their specialties to offer trusted advice.
