Arizona Cardinals vs Dallas Cowboys Same Game Parlay: NFL Parlay Picks for Monday Night Football, Week 9

Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season wraps up with a Monday Night Football showdown between the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys. It has been a disappointing year for both teams so far, as Arizona comes in with a 2-5 record while Dallas sits at 3-4-1. The Cardinals have lost 5 games in a row.

Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which get underway at 8:15 pm ET on ESPN. Also be sure to check out our full Cardinals vs Cowboys predictions.

Cowboys -5.5 alternate spread (+122) 

Javonte Williams to score a touchdown (-160)

Bam Knight to record 50+ rushing yards (-102) 

Parlay odds: +700

Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is some of the plan here, as Dallas running back Javonte Williams scoring a touchdown would obviously work well with a big win for the Cowboys. At the same time, plays that aren’t correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Arizona running back Bam Knight to rack up his fair share of rushing yards. But even if he does, there is no reason why the home team can’t take care of business. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.

Cowboys -5.5 alternate spread (+122)

This has not been the case in recent years, but the Cowboys are actually better at home than they are on the road this year. Yes, Jerry World has actually been kind to the home team in 2025. Dallas is undefeated (2-0-1) through 3 outings in its own building, while it is 1-4 when it has to travel. Dak Prescott and company are scoring an outrageous 41 points per game at home and should be in line for another huge performance against an Arizona outfit that is ranked #24 defensively overall by PFF. On the other side of the ball, Jacoby Brissett is starting at quarterback for the Cardinals in place of an injured Kyler Murray. Their passing game was already bad to begin with (third worst in yards per pass attempt), so the visitors could struggle even against a generous Cowboys defense. There really isn’t anything to like about Arizona in this matchup. Give me the ‘Boys to win by a touchdown…and perhaps more.

Javonte Williams to score a touchdown (-160)

The Cardinals have given up almost as many rushing touchdowns (7) as passing (8). In fact, heading into Week 9 they have allowed the third-fewest TDs through the air. As such, it would be no surprise if the Cowboys do their red-zone damage on the ground. That would be nothing new for Williams, who has been a scoring machine. The North Carolina product has already produced 9 touchdowns – 8 rushing, 1 receiving. He found the endzone twice last weekend against Denver, giving him 3 touchdowns in the past 2 contests. Williams has every reason to score at least once against Arizona on Monday Night Football.

Bam Knight to record 50+ rushing yards (-102)

With James Conner and Trey Benson on injured reserve, Knight has only Emari Demercado to compete with in the Cardinals’ backfield. Knight is RB1 on Monday and should be able to capitalize at the expense of a Cowboys defense that is giving up 146.0 rushing yards per game (#29 in the NFL) on 4.9 yards per carry. The third-year player out of NC State gained 57 carries on 14 attempts during last week’s loss to the Packers and he has scored a touchdown in 2 of the last 3 games.
