Dallas Cowboys (5-4) @ New Orleans Saints (6-2)
The Cowboys were able to win in the last minute to beat the
Vikings last week. It was a game that they should have won easily but like always, they made it interesting. Dallas gives me the feeling that any team in the league can beat them. But, like the game against Denver, they give me the feeling that they could beat any team in the NFL.
The Saints are starting to be a team that is having problems winning on the road. And we all know that it will be a major problem for them if they don't change that. Last week in New York they had a 14-6 lead only to lose 26-20. Thankfully for them this game will be played in the Superdome. The Saints are a team that is kind of one dimensional but it works for them. They have showed signs of life in the running game with Pierre Thomas. Thomas is also fifth in the league for RBs with 39 rec. He should have success against the Cowboys who allow more than 100 yards a game.
This Sunday the Cowboys last ranked defense will have a ton of trouble with Drew Brees and the Saints. The Saints are the second best team in the league at throwing the footall. The Cowboys have the last ranked defense in defending the pass. The Saints have started to slip on defense, too. In their first five games they didn't give up more than 18 points, but in the last three they've given up 27, 17 and 26 points to the Patriots, Bills, and the Jets. Still, I don't think it will be too much of a problem. At home they should take care of business against the worst defense in the league. My final: Dallas 27 New Orleans 35
