MNF Week 9 NFL Parlays and Player Props: Cardinals-Cowboys Shootout in Store

Written By Blaise Bourgeois | Last Updated at November 3, 2025

Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo #81 warms up prior to an NFL preseason football game against the Rams at SoFi Stadium, Saturday Aug. 9, 2025, in Inglewood, Calif.

After a thrilling Sunday slate, Monday Night Football heads to AT&T Stadium for an NFC clash between the Arizona Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams are desperate for a win to keep their rather slim playoff chances alive. According to the National Football League playoff probabilities, the Cowboys, at 3-4-1 in a super-competitive NFC, only have a 13% chance to make the postseason. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are 2-5 and are currently given a meager 3% chance to play football in January and beyond.

With two of the worst defenses in football paired with some electric playmakers on offense, we could be looking at a potential shootout. At the time of writing, your favorite sports betting apps have the over/under at an incredibly high 53.5 points. That means there's plenty of value to be had, and whether you're taking advantage of sportsbook promotions or lining up single-game picks, you're in line for an exciting night of betting action. Here are our MNF Week 9 best bets.

Game Lines

Arizona +3 (-104)

(Odds via FanDuel)

While you may think you want to slam the Cowboys ML with Kyler Murray still out of the starting lineup with a foot injury, not so fast! The Cardinals offense has been significantly more productive with Jacoby Brissett at the helm. Against two of the best teams in the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts and the Green Bay Packers, Brissett has put up 599 combined passing yards with four touchdowns against just one interception.

While the Cardinals lost both of those games by just four points, the Arizona offense under Brissett has scored 25 points per game and has averaged 365 total yards per game. Kyler Murray, meanwhile, has yet to throw for over 220 yards in a game this season, with the Cardinals scoring 20.6 points per game and averaging 288.4 total yards per game in his five starts. Tonight, Brissett goes up against a Cowboys defense that allows 31.3 points and 404.6 yards per game, the second-worst defense in all of football.

While the Cardinals are losers of five straight, they have always kept it close, losing those five games by a combined 13 points. In fact, their worst loss of the season is just four points.

Over 53.5 (-113)

(Odds via Caesars Sportsbook)

Six of the Cowboys' eight games this season have been blistering shootouts that have seen 57 to 80 combined points. In fact, every game Dallas has played in has seen at least 44 points scored.

Both of Brissett's starts with the Cardinals have been high-scoring affairs, being involved in games that totaled 58 and 50 points. Those games involved much better defenses on the other side of the field.

Honestly, our best bet of the day is to slam this over. Both offenses are very productive, Dallas' defense is really bad, and Arizona's defense isn't the greatest. Enough said.

Player Props

Marvin Harrison Jr. Anytime Touchdown (+135)

Marvin Harrison Jr. Over 3.5 Receptions (-164)

(Odds via Caesars Sportsbook)

Marvin Harrison Jr.'s struggles this season are very well documented, with the budding superstar only putting up 24 catches for 396 yards and two touchdowns through seven games this season. Tonight, he has as good a chance as any to get on the score sheet, going up against the 31st-ranked passing defense in the league. Dallas has also allowed 100 or more receiving yards to a single player three times this season.

While Trey McBride leads the Cardinals in targets and receptions, MHJ is an obvious talent, and there has been a lot of talk about getting him more targets. He still has 9.9 yards per target, which is 14th in the NFL, so he's producing when they throw him the ball.

Jacoby Brissett is a very smart quarterback and will look to get him the ball often tonight.

Jacoby Brissett Under 0.5 Interceptions (-128)

(Odds via FanDuel)

Jacoby Brissett has thrown just 25 interceptions in 1,842 career passing attempts. His interception rate of 1.357% is the lowest in NFL history, slightly better than Aaron Rodgers and Justin Herbert. The Dallas Cowboys defense has only produced four interceptions all season, which sets Brissett up to have a clean game.

CeeDee Lamb to Record a Reception of 30+ Yards (+130)

(Odds via FanDuel)

CeeDee Lamb has a reception of over 30 yards in three of his four full games this season. The only one he missed out on is last week's Broncos win, where he still recorded a 29-yard catch. We can't believe he's getting plus-money on this prop, and we think this bet is a no-brainer.

Bam Knight 75+ Rushing Yards (+220)

(Odds via BetMGM Sportsbook)

Bam Knight put up 59 yards on 14 carries last week against the third-best run defense in the league in the Green Bay Packers. Tonight, he gets to carry the ball against the 29th-ranked run defense in the league. Just last week, the Cowboys gave up 178 rushing yards and three touchdowns to running backs. Knight has eclipsed the 70-yard mark in two of his five career starts, and +220 is an incredible price given the circumstances.
