Week 3 – Monday September 25th

Dallas Cowboys

The Cardinals will be the last team to open the season at home.  A departure from previous seasons, the Cardinals are just one of three teams to have played their first two games on the road.

The good news here is that the Cardinals will be excited to be home and should be up for the challenge.  It will be nationally televised on Monday Night Football.  \

The not so good news is Dallas could be even better than  what they were in 2016, posting a 13-3 record with rookies, quatertback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliot.  Now both are in their second seasons.

This should be a battle back and forth.  ESPN gave the Cowboys a loss in this one in their game-by-game predictions the night the schedule came out.  I wouldn’t be so easy to dismiss them.

That being said, the Cardinals should come out on top as long as they don’t over-hype themselves. This should be a fun one.
