Cardinals at Cowboys prop bets

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Sunday at 8:48 a.m. ET.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride OVER 68.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-115)

McBride OVER 7.5 RECEPTIONS (+115)

McBride ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN (+115)

McBride has been on an absolute tear since Brissett took over at quarterback — and his prop overs for Monday night against Dallas look too good to ignore. In Brissett’s 2 starts, McBride has totaled 18 receptions on 24 targets for 174 yards and 3 TDs. That’s a massive jump compared to just 1 score over his first 6 games this season.

He’s commanded a 29% target share since becoming the starter in late 2023. Since Brissett took over under center, averaging 12 targets per game, the highest of any tight end in the league over that stretch. Brissett’s veteran approach has made McBride his security blanket, especially in the red zone, where he's fourth among tight ends in red zone target rate and Dallas' defense ranks 26th in red zone touchdown percentage allowed.

The Cowboys’ defense has been a sieve against the pass, ranking 31st in success rate and allowing 258.6 passing yards per game. Dallas is 32nd in the league, allowing (2.5) passing TDs per game.

Combine that with a projected total near 54.5 points and a Cardinals offense gaining rhythm through the air, and McBride’s over props — receptions, yards, and touchdowns — all have serious value. The chemistry with Brissett is real, and the stats back it up.

MNF: Best ML, ATS and O/U bets

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett OVER 1.5 PASSING TOUCHDOWNS (-135)

Brissett OVER 248.5 PASSING YARDS (-135)

If you like McBride to have a big night, you have to like Jacoby Brissett to get there too. Brissett has quietly sparked Arizona’s offense since taking over, throwing for 279 and 320 yards with 2 TDs in each of his 2 starts. The Cardinals have fully embraced a pass-heavy approach, giving him 44 attempts in 1 game and tailoring the playbook to his strengths.

This week’s matchup only adds fuel to the fire. Dallas ranks 31st in the NFL in both passing yards allowed (258.6 per game) and total defense (404.6 yards per game), and no team has surrendered more passing touchdowns — 20 on the year.

Brissett has also built great chemistry with TE McBride, connecting on 18 passes for 146 yards and 3 TDs over the past 2 games. With a high projected total around 54.5 points, the game script points to more passing volume and plenty of scoring chances. Betting Brissett’s passing yards and touchdown props to go over feels like the right call.
