5 bold predictions for Cowboys against Cardinals
2. Dak Prescott will throw four touchdown passes (again)
Prescott made Washington’s mishmash group of defensive backs look like a junior college secondary on Sunday night. His degree of difficulty will increase significantly against Arizona this week.
That doesn’t mean Prescott won’t enjoy major success for a second consecutive week. He tossed four touchdown passes against Washington last week and he’ll equal that feat against the Cardinals. It might take him more than the 39 passes he attempted last week to hit that total, but Mike McCarthy and his coaching staff won’t be afraid to let Dak Cook.
The real key for Dallas will be to make sure they give their star quarterback a clean pocket to work from. The Cardinals are going to try to bring pressure in a lot of different ways to disrupt the Cowboys’ passing attack. Prescott’s mobility inside and outside the pocket could be a difference-maker in this game.
No matter where Prescott is making throws from on Sunday he’ll succeed in lighting up the scoreboard. Put him down for at least four touchdown passes in another easy win or the Cowboys.
