Arizona Cardinals at Dallas Cowboys. No call on the spread and no call on the total.
The call
No pick yet: the panel reviews this game Wednesday evening.
How to read this page
The calls come first on this page: the spread and the total, each a Pick or a Lean, then Ace, Stack and Buck one by one. The market's number, our number and the gap between them sit further down as MODEL CONTEXT: that is the input our analyst panel argued from, not a call of its own. A Pick is our strongest call and goes on the record. A Lean is which way we lean on a game and is not a pick.The meter shows how strongly the panel backs the call. It is not a probability or a hit rate.

Our number on this game is for members. It is context; the panel makes the call.
Trends and splits
Descriptive context, every line with the games it counts. Filters like these did not hold up as predictors in our testing, so none of this feeds a call and none of it is a reason a pick wins. Situational splits look back 3 seasons and need at least 8 decided games to be shown at all. Records against the number and on the total are graded at each game's closing line, the last quote before kickoff at DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM. A game we have no capture for is graded at the number the league data carries.

The context, and where the numbers come from
The context we can hand you free
Rest. Dallas Cowboys 6 days · Arizona Cardinals 7 days Rest comes straight from the schedule. Be careful reading it as an edge: we tested rest as an input to our number and it made out of sample error worse, so it is context, not a signal.
Venue. Roof and surface on file: matrixturf. Neither roof nor surface is an input to our number. They are here because you asked what the game looks like, not because we priced them.
The two numbers underneath
| Team | EL NFL Rating | Side |
|---|---|---|
| Arizona Cardinals | -4.22 | Away |
| Dallas Cowboys | -0.93 | Home |
The rating is points versus a league average opponent on a neutral field. Our number includes about 2 points of home field. It is a margin model, not a proven spread beater. Full board: the NFL power ratings.
Where the numbers come from. Schedules and finals come from the league data we load each night. Lines are the latest capture at DraftKings, FanDuel or BetMGM, with the book named beside every number. Every Pick locks when it posts and grades at that number on the public record. Our number is context; the panel makes the call. Research, never a guarantee. 21+.
