I think we will be looking to run the ball like the Jets did, and if we are successful, we could see a more ball control, eat the clock, type approach.

I'm not expecting much from our Cowboys Dline. I think Brees will have a field day, hope Romo can keep us alive.

You do know who our coach is right? I hope you're right, but I expect Denver Rd. 2.

Also, if we fall behind at all (which we likely will), the running game will be abandoned immediately.

It could happen, but the only way the Cowboys win is if they go on long, sustained drives on offense and end them with touchdowns. We can't get into a shootout against Brees and Co. with our decimated defense. If they do, they'll likely lose.

If this is going to be a shootout, the Cowboys must move the ball better than they've moved it all season sans the Denver game. The Cowboys only rank 15th in total offense.

The Cowboys need to run the friggen ball and win the time of possession. The Saints are going to score, and probably fast, so when the Cowboys get the ball, they need to win the time of possession and get some turn overs, which I bet they will.

Gonna need some gifts from Brees to win this game. He's prone to INT's, let's hope this is one of those games.

Another point- everybody is worried about Darren Sproles on the Dallas linebackers. I'm worried about Jimmy Graham. Tight ends have killed this defense this season. A pass catching back hasn't hurt them since Danny Woodhead in San Diego. Even LeSean McCoy and Reggie Bush didn't hurt Dallas badly (as receivers, that is).

I predict Saints 40, Cowboys 31, but will gladly be wrong. If Dallas pulls the upset, it would be something like a 38-35 game.
