The Week 3 showdown between the Cowboys and Cardinals (4:25 p.m. ET, FOX) features two teams in opposite situations. Dallas has once again emerged as a true contender in the NFC, while Arizona looks like a top candidate for the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. With the 'Boys sitting as -12.5 favorites on BetMGM, we might not go anywhere near the spread for this one, but we will, however, play some Cowboys-Cardinals over/under props on SuperDraft for the chance to hit it big.
Dallas (2-0) has now outscored opponents 70-10 through two weeks, having eviscerated Daniel Jones and the Giants in Week 1 and beating up an Aaron Rodgers-less Jets team at home in Week 2. Now dem boys draw Josh Dobbs and the Cardinals (0-2), and we won't lie to you and say we love the Cards' chances against Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs, and the Dallas defense. However, we do love a few of the props, which will be our preferred method of betting this game.

Best Cowboys-Cardinals prop bets: SuperDraft player prop picks for Week 3
*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks
1. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys — OVER 230.5 passing yards (4/5 confidence)
This is the week for Dak. On paper, his numbers on the season look underwhelming, but take a closer look and you'll realize Prescott was awesome against Sauce Gardner and the Jets. We're talking about 31-for-38 passing — an 81.6-percent completion rate — for 255 passing yards and two TDs. If the dude can enjoy that kind of efficiency against the Jets secondary, just imagine what he can do to the Cardinals.
Arizona has yielded a completion rate of over 66 percent and surrendered 261.5 passing yards per game. That's despite playing against the Commanders and Giants to start the season. We'll take Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and company over Sam Howell, Daniel Jones, and their wideouts any day. Dak will obliterate this modest total, perhaps by the end of this third quarter.

2. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys — OVER 69.5 receiving yards (4/5 confidence)
It's rare for me to label both top props in a game with 4/5 confidence levels, but the success of Prescott and Lamb literally go hand-in-hand. Honestly, even when Dak has down games, Lamb eats. The two-time Pro Bowl receiver caught all four of his targets for 77 yards in Week 1 against the Giants before exploding for 11 catches on 13 targets for 143 yards last week against the Jets. Now he draws an Arizona secondary that PFF ranks the fourth worst in the NFL? Smash, smash, smash!

3. Tony Pollard, RB, Cowboys — UNDER 74.5 rushing yards (3/5 confidence)
Pollard has yet to eclipse 72 rushing yards in a game this season, partly because he's getting used a bunch in the passing game and partly because Dallas has cruised to such large leads early on. This week will be no different, with BetMGM projecting an implied final score of 30-13 Cowboys.
If Mike McCarthy's squad plows through Arizona as we all expect, Pollard should once again cede plenty of touches to his backups. Check out the snap and touch counts registered by "the others" in the Cowboys' 30-10 rout of the Jets:
| Cowboys RB | Snaps | Carries | Touches | Rush Yds | Rec Yds |
| Tony Pollard | 56 (64%) | 25 | 32 | 72 | 37 |
| Rico Dowdle | 18 (21%) | 7 | 8 | 26 | 17 |
| Deuce Vaughn | 13 (15%) | 3 | 6 | 16 | 16 |
Hell, even KaVontae Turpin had two carries for six yards. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys seem intent on keeping Pollard to 64 percent of offensive snaps — that was also the magic number in Week 1. The dude did have a fractured fibula in January, for which he needed surgery. So, why give him 30 carries in blowouts? Even 25 carries seems insane in a 30-10 win — we can't imagine that number will go up against Arizona.
As we already mentioned, we expect a big game for Prescott. QBs have fared better against the Cards than RBs have. Through two weeks, Arizona has surrendered 71.5 rushing yards per game to RBs as opposed to 261.5 passing yards per game to QBs. If this was Pollard over/under 26 receiving yards, we'd smash the OVER, but given his recent production on the ground, we're going contrarian and betting UNDER 74.5.
4. Marquise Brown, WR, Cardinals — OVER 41.5 receiving yards (2.5/5 confidence)
This was a tough call — we almost went with James Conner OVER 54.5 rushing yards, as he has racked up rushing totals of 62 and 106, respectively, in Weeks 1 and 2. The Cowboys D is built different than the Giants and Commanders, though, and we expect Arizona to be playing from behind all game, which translates to Josh Dobbs throwing the ball a ton. Hollywood is the de facto No. 1 pass-catcher in this offense, and he hauled in six-of-10 targets for 54 yards and a TD last week. Dallas is great, but 42 receiving yards from a WR1 on the wrong side of a blowout is not an irrational ask.
