Week 3 expert picks for Cardinals-Cowboys

The 0-2 Arizona Cardinals take on the 2-0 Dallas Cowboys at home on Sunday. The Cardinals are massive underdogs, and understandably so.

The Cowboys have outscored their opponents 70-10 through two games.

The Cardinals were outscored 31-8 just in the second half of their game last week.

There is little faith in the Cardinals to even make a game of it.

We have expert picks below, from Cards Wire, from Cowboys Wire and a panel of NFL Network experts.

Jess Root, Cards Wire

Cowboys 34, Cardinals 13

The Cowboys have feasted on lesser competition. Sure, you might question how good they really are but the Giants and the Jets are a level ahead of the Cardinals in terms of team talent. The Cardinals will be lucky if this game isn’t embarrassing.

Reid Hanson, Cowboys Wire

Cowboys 27, Cardinals 13

I see another dominant performance from the Dallas defense. Ertz will have a nice day but the Cowboys will hold RB James Conner in check.

Unanimous NFL Network picks

Every single panelist on NFL Network picks the Cowboys to win. Only one, Daniel Jeremiah, thinks the Cardinals will cover the 12.5-point spread.
