It’s a crucial week for the Dallas Cowboys, with the NFL trade deadline looming and the team considered one of the franchises that could be actively looking for deals to improve the roster for the second half of the season.

The Cowboys enter Week 9 sitting at 3-4-1 on the year, but a win would put the team in position to be buyers at the deadline.

After all, Jerry Jones did say that the team will be “open for business” ahead of the deadline, which falls on Tuesday, November 3, at 4:00 p.m. ET. As it turns out, the Cowboys will have one final chance to return to the win column to build momentum.

While there are 12 games on the NFL calendar today, Cowboys Nation will have to wait until Monday Night Football for the team to welcome the Arizona Cardinals to AT&T Stadium in primetime, less than 24 hours until the trade deadline hits.

Entering the primetime showdown on Monday night, the Cowboys are slight 3.5-point favorites over the visiting Cardinals, who will be without starting quarterback Kyler Murray for a third straight week, while the over/under is set for 531.5 total points.
