How it plays out

Arizona Cardinals vs Dallas Cowboys is an all-NFC matchup with seeding on the line. Our model can barely split them: Arizona Cardinals 49%, Dallas Cowboys 51% (PK). Only 3 spots separate them in the power rankings, about as even as it gets.

Tactically, Arizona Cardinals will want to lean on rangy safety to attack Dallas Cowboys, whose depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Dallas Cowboys's explosive passing could punish Arizona Cardinals if line play goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Jonathan Gannon and Brian Schottenheimer, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Kyler Murray (QB) and Dak Prescott (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Cardinals get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
