Dallas Cowboys -2.5
Oh what a game this would have been if Brees was
healthy. Last week the Saints won @
Seattle, but they scored 3 defensive/ST’s touchdowns. The offense only scored 12 points and
averaged 5.3 YPP. I’m not sure that will
get it done against the Cowboys.
Bridgewater is a game-manager, who relies on dump-offs and short passes
to move the ball. I know Dallas has
beaten ‘scrubs’ in their first 3 games this year (NYG, WAS, and MIA) but none
of the games were close. Good teams beat
bad teams, but great teams blow bad teams out and that’s exactly what the
Cowboys have done. You can say that NO
is their first “test” this season, but without Brees in there, I don’t see it
being that difficult of a matchup.
Saints are 30th @ 6.7 YPP allowed, as they’ve allowed 27-28
points in each of their first 3 games. To
me, without Brees, Dallas is a far better team here.
