Saints are 3 point favorites this Sunday do you agree?

[cej757]

i thought Dallas should've at least opened as 2 or 3 point favorites at home. The Saints haven't looked that good to be three point favorites on the road.

 

[Jenky]

They should be favored by more.

I expect the Saints to be the favor coming into this game.

 

[JBS]

hard for me to see why this game will be any different that last years game

i expect us to be able to move the ball better and score more points than last year...but defensively, especially without Mcclain, I dont see it being much different

 

[perrykemp]

Who knows. Saints don't look good.

I personally look at this game as a 'pick-em'.

 

[Bungarian]

I think they chew the defense up.

 

[TimHortons]

Well they lost to Atlanta, who is a pretty good team (I think, we'll see). Now, the Cleveland game they clearly played poorly, but the Browns do have a good defense, much better than ours anyway. I honestly thought the line would open closer to 6.5 or so

 

[Wayne02]

Neither team has looked impressive, so then you have to look at matchups and the Saints are just a matchup problem for the Cowboys, both from a players and coaching standpoint.

 

[perrykemp]

I'll say this.... if they beat the Saints I'll start believing the team has a shot of making some noise and making the playoffs.

I tend to be a pessimist but 3-1 is 3-1.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Sounds about right if you are thinking of betting in Vegas.

Yeah Romo and Co. should have a good day against Rob Ryan led Saints defense....

 

[Eric_Boyer]

I will be amazed if we only lose by three.

I don't agree. The Saints were one of the worst games in our history. I'm still shamed by that game. Until they prove different against that team (and I reiterate ... on national TV) they should be 21 point dogs.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'm surprised they didn't open as more of a favorite to be quite honest.

 

[Future]

The Saints' offense is a shell of what it used to be, especially without Sproles.

Having said that, I still think the offense is probably going to have to score over 30 to win.

Sadly, I agree. Only way Dallas wins is if they have a 2/1 edge in TOP AND get a defensive or special team TD. Dallas can't handle a decent TE, and they face the best one in the league this week. They got chewed up by Austin Freaking Davis, so I don't see how Brees doesn't dismantle the Dallas D. I think it will be relatively close at the half (e.g., 24-17), but then New Orleans pulls away in the 2nd en route to a 45-30 win.

 

[Idgit]

3 points is exactly what I had guessed earlier this week. Though I bet that number shifts in favor of the Saints. I think it's fair, too. I expect them to beat us in this one, but one extra play in our favor and this one can go our way.

They also lost Ingram to an injury he is out for a while.

I did not know this. Aren't they also missing their starting C?

 

[Doomsday101]

Yes Ingram fractured thumb and had surgery on it. Saints say he is week to week. Hurt it in Cleveland game
