Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals 2010 NFL Predictions, Odds, and Picks Week 16: Interim head football coach Jason Garrett will lead his Dallas Cowboys into the desert to University of Phoenix Stadium to take on the Arizona Cardinals on Christmas night at 7:30 PM ET on the NFL Network. The Cardinals enter the game 4-10 4th in the pathetic NFC West while the Cowboys have been playing better of late but still come in at 5-9 4th in the NFC East but 4-2 under Coach Garrett. It’s looking a lot like the interim tag will be off Jason Garret by the end of the season. “We try our best to win every week,” Garrett said. “We try our best to go about it the right way. Our young players who need to be evaluated understand that approach and they glob onto it. When they get their opportunities, hopefully they’ll do that. “A lot of guys have gotten a lot of opportunities in recent weeks and we got a chance to evaluate them. We’ll continue to try to put our best forward this week against Arizona.” The odds makers at BetUS have the Dallas Cowboys -7 point favorites on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Cowboys are coming off a home win 33-30 over division rival the Washington Redskins in a game playing for pride moving them to 6-8 ATS for the season. Quarterback Jon Kitna completed 25 of 37 passes for 305 yards and 2 touchdowns hitting tight end Jason Witten with 10 balls for 140 yards and a score. Dallas is 18-7 SU in its last 25 games when playing Arizona the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Dallas’s last 7 games when playing Arizona.
The Cardinals are coming off a 19-12 road loss to the Carolina Panthers moving them to 4-10 ATS for the season. Quarterback John Skelton completed 17 of 33 passes for 196 yards and a pick hitting Larry Fitzgerald with 9 balls for 125 yards. “I don’t necessarily think it is talent as much as it is we have a lot of young guys, new guys,” coach Ken Whisenhunt said, “and there is a transition that we’re suffering through.” “I think the way he handled himself later in the game is reason to have a lot of optimism about him as a quarterback,” Whisenhunt said. Vegas odds makers have the over/under for the total score at 45 points combined of the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals.
My Christmas prediction is a Dallas and OVER victory!
