The Saints barely scratched the surface of their playbook facing the Falcon or the Skins. They did the same thing in the games leading up the the Patriots game.

Pats secondary sucks. I have alot of respect for the accomplishments that the Pats have earned over the years but do not confuse this years Pats with past SB winners they have had. Pats have some real problems and if they had a star on the helmet the media would talk alot more about the Pats problems.

Saints 31
Cowboys 21 with another garbage time TD to make it seem closer than it actually was.

I hope like heck we win, but I stopped being fooled by this team quite some time ago.

This is exactly what I am expecting score wise.
 

TD-33

I think you just invited more saints fans to come and run around on the board and tell us how great they are.
Cut them some slack. They've never had a good team, they don't know how to act and besides this is probably their last chance before the wheels fall off the bandwagon.

True. Payton identified several weaknesses in their defense. I have seen several weaknesses in the Cowboys' secondary, as well. Those weaknesses will be exposed.

New Orleans: a lot

Dallas: a little

Now they have a chance because my game predictions are always wrong

38-17 Saints over the Cowboys. They play much better in their house than on the road so I think we won't see them struggle like they did at Washington.

So have other QB's all I'm saying is you are pointing at the Pats like they are an elite team. They were in the past they are not now. I would also say the Saints have some weakness in their secondary, you had Redman put up over 300 yards on your secondary. I respect the job the Saints have done thus far but I do not see this as a given that the Saints will win this game.

Yes, Redman did put up some yardage. But, as has been the case all year long, the vast majority of that yardage comes between the 20's. The Saints lead the NFL in red zone defense. But, the Saints secondary has been banged up and Williams was very vanilla in his defensive play calling the past two weeks. I am expecting the blitz packages to be dialed up quite a bit this week, putting a lot of pressure on Romo and forcing mistakes.

It was 23 to 26 vs a backup QB who frankly has looked poor. Look I have no qualm about the Saints being favored in this game they are and should be and yes Dallas has some things I'm sure the Saints will go after and I know there are some weakness on the Saints we will attack. I'm glad you feel good about your team come back and see me next week when Dallas hands you your 1st loss on the season.

Yes, I expect the Cowboys to attack the secondary. That is why the pressure on Romo is so vital. And, if that does happen, I will be back. No problem. I just can't see it happening. I could have seen a loss at Atlanta, or at Washington, though. Both of those games Payton sat out players that could have easily played. He did the same thing coming into the Patriots game. You can take that as a big compliment. He clearly wants to have the guns loaded against Dallas.

Saints 3022
Cowboys -5

New Orleans brings Ditka back for one game, and things get ugly. Real ugly. Drew Brees sets records that nobody even knew existed. The whole thing gets so bad that Goodell calls at half time letting the team know that the league has officially deducted 5 points from their score.

Good no excuses. I look forward to the game.

Well what makes you think they'll use their playbook against a Cowboys team that can't win in December?

And they struggled against Washington...

This offense isn't that great if you take away the long touchdown plays. That's the one thing the Dallas defense does well. Combined with the fact that they won't be able to run the ball that much and their defense stinks, I really think Dallas has a shot at this one.
The way we stopped the big play from the Eagles atleast gives me HOPE.
