Trends and stats all say the Cowbiys should win and cover the spread. But I have a hunch Kyler Murray and the Cardinals will have a different agenda. This game will be closer than the 5.5 point spread indicates. My best best bet is the ARI +5.5. Final score prediction the Arizona win outright and the total goes over 28-24.
