Cowboys vs Cardinals Game Information

The Dallas Cowboys will take their second road trip of the preseason Saturday, facing the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Arizona at 10:00 PM. Dallas is undefeated in the preseason heading into Saturday after a 10-point road win over Seattle. Saturday will be Arizona's third preseason game this year, as they have split their first 2 games, including a 13-point road victory over Las Vegas last week. For other NFL news, see our NFL Picks.
