Arizona is at a significant disadvantage heading into the contest against Dallas. Kyler Murray is not expected to play, and the team is expected to use Jacoby Brissett instead. According to Adam Schefter on X on Saturday, Murray could see "a role" in the contest as he is close to being healthy but not ready to play a full game.

Of course, this raises plenty of questions, but at the end of the day, it will be Brissett against Dak Prescott. Dallas' defense has struggled all season long, but even if the Cardinals can have some offensive rhythm, the contest could be tight all game long.

However, in the end, expect Dallas to pull out a win in primetime, winning 32-24.

Bam Knight is likely to see plenty of usage in the contest early, and with the Dallas Cowboys' defense struggling all year long, there could be multiple big runs or touchdowns in store for Knight. Desperate teams could even consider Jacoby Brissett for the game.

However, Javonte Williams is likely to be the winner of the night, with Dak Prescott likely to have a big first half and a lesser second half. Once the Cowboys get the lead, Williams will see plenty of usage in the latter part of the game. CeeDee Lamb will see plenty of work early, but if Prescott targets George Pickens instead, Lamb could be in for a semi-quiet outing.
