We find the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals on opposite ends of my NFL power ratings in Week 3, which means a sizable spread when the 2-0 Cowboys visit the 0-2 Cardinals this Sunday.
Dallas dominated the New York teams in the opening weeks of the schedule, outscoring those Big Apple opponents by a collective 70-10 thanks in large part to a disruptive defense. The Cowboys rank atop the league in defensive metrics — basic and advanced — and now take aim at Arizona.
The Cards may not have any ticks in the win column yet but they’re undefeated in the eyes of NFL bettors. Arizona has covered in its first two matchups, sticking close at Washington in Week 1 and blowing a 20-point lead against the N.Y. Giants in Week 2 but covering as a home un…

After Monday saw a shock exit for world champions France and 14 goals across two games, Tuesday s last-16 ties at Euro 2020 had plenty to live up to.
But, while there was not quite as much goalmouth action this time around, there were plenty of intriguing talking points as two more sides booked their place in the quarter-finals.
First up, England claimed their first ever knockout-stage victory inside 90 minutes at a European Championship, vanquishing old rivals Germany at Wembley.
And then Ukraine needed the second-latest goal in the tournament s history to edge out Sweden in a tense battle for a last-eight berth.
Here, Stats Perform looks at the key Opta stats from another thrilling day of Euros action.

Chris Armas has hailed the Colorado Rapids professionalism as they close in on a playoff spot, ahead of Wednesday s trip to Sporting Kansas City.
The Rapids sit third in the Western Conference amid a fine first campaign under Armas, and they boast an impressive seven-point cushion to those outside the automatic playoff places.
Goals from Jonathan Lewis and Rafael Navarro handed them a 2-1 win over the in-form Portland Timbers last time out, but Armas says there is no chance of his men losing focus after that result.
It was a big step for our team, Armas said. The mood in the locker room is one where it s like, it s just another day in the office .
There s no big celebration but they understand that was a big step for us, to get three points in a decisiv…
Lionel Messi has expressed his happiness and relief at finally winning silverware with Argentina after Saturday s Copa America 2021 triumph over Brazil at the Maracana.
Argentina defeated Brazil 1-0 after Angel Di Maria s 22nd-minute strike, earning six-time Ballon d Or winner Messi his maiden piece of silverware with La Albiceleste.
Messi has finished runner-up in the Copa three times; 2007, 2015 and 2016, as well as runner-up at the 2014 World Cup and revealed his joy after the game.
I needed to get the thorn out of being able to achieve something with the national team, I had been very close for many years, Messi told reporters.
I knew that at some point it was going to go right, it was going to happen and I think there is no better moment than this.…
Jimmy Greaves is among the finest players England has ever produced and remained one of the great entertainers long into retirement.
Tottenham, Chelsea and England icon Greaves died on September 19 at the age of 81.
A naturally clinical finisher with both feet, who terrorised defences throughout a record-breaking career, the inside forward is the leading goalscorer in the history of the English top flight.
The World Cup winner found the back of the net a staggering 357 times in 516 First Division games and ended six seasons as the highest scorer.
He is also Spurs record goalscorer, having notched an incredible 266 goals from 379 appearances, and is fourth on the list of England s leading scorers, with 44 from 57 matches – including a record six hat-…
No English team has lifted the Champions League trophy since Chelsea s 2012 triumph, but the Premier League s five participants in this season s competition appear in a good position to change that.
Wins for Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool on Wednesday moved the tournament s English teams on to 15 victories.
Spurs and City are already assured of a place in the last 16 while Chelsea, following their 3-0 defeat to Roma on Tuesday, are the only Premier League side that is not top of a group.
Here, with the help of Opta data, we look at the numbers behind what has so far been one of the best Champions League campaigns for Premier League teams for some time.
15 English clubs have already won more Champions League games this season (15) than in the e…
