Dallas Cowboys vs New Orleans Saints
Sunday 29 September 2019 at Mercedes-Benz Superdome
Two division leaders meet in the Superdome for a Week Four showdown that promises to be one of the most intriguing NFL picks of the week. The Cowboys' offense has thrived under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. In Dallas' 3-0 start, the offense has rocketed to third in the league in yards gained and fourth in points scored.
Quarterback Dak Prescott, in particular, has reached a new level. He leads the league in completion percentage and just about every measure, standard or advanced metric, shows he's been the most accurate quarterback in the NFL.
Ezekiel Elliott has rushed for 100 yards in two straight games, and Tony Pollard also hit the century mark, giving Dallas a pair of 100-yard rushers for the first time in 21 seasons. A strong running game makes Prescott even more dangerous.
This week, Prescott gets to go against a defense that has struggled mightily against the pass. New Orleans has allowed 301.7 passing yards a game, the third-worst total in the league. The 19 plays of 20 or more yards that they've given up this year is second worst.
Replacing Brees
The Saints lost franchise quarterback Drew Brees for the near future when the future Hall of Famer to a torn ligament in his thumb in Week Two.
Teddy Bridgewater performed well in his first start in Brees' place last week. He went 19-of-27 for 177 yards and two scores, becoming the first Saints quarterback other than Brees to start and win since 2005.
Bridgewater was a first-round draft pick who has started 30 games in the NFL. So he should be able to fill Brees' shoes in the short-term.
He's helped by receiver Michael Thomas, who leads the NFC with 25 catches, and his 266 yards are fifth. The Saints will also lean heavily on the ground game, as Alvin Kamara appears to be in the middle of a breakout season. Kamara has 390 yards from scrimmage, which ranks fourth in the league.
The versatile back scored on a run and a catch against Seattle. The Saints also have a special teams weapon in undrafted rookie Deonte Harris. He's already scored a touchdown on a punt return and has a combined 203 yards on kick and punt returns this season.
The Cowboys defense has been solid this season, allowing just 14.7 points per game and holding opponents to a 20 percent conversion rate on third down.
The Pick
The Cowboys are hitting on all cylinders on offense, while the Saints are trying to hold on while waiting for Brees to return. There are now three games worth of film on Moore's offense, though, and Sean Peyton's staff should be able to throw some new wrinkles at Prescott. What nfl teams are playing in london 2017.
The NFL odds always seem to favor home dogs, many of whom aren't anywhere near as talented as New Orleans. Look for the Saints to pull the upset over the visiting Cowboys.

The Saints were a well-oiled machine across both the coaching staff and the roster, while the Bucs were breaking in plenty of fresh faces, without the benefit of a preseason or even a normal offseason/training camp.
Cowboys Vs Saints Predictions Picks And Parlays
Eight weeks after that 34-23 defeat, the Bucs hosted the Saints in front of a national audience, with a chance to prove they'd found their groove and could compete with the powerhouse of their division.
Instead, the Saints throttled Tampa Bay, 38-3.
Sunday evening, the Bucs will get their chance at revenge, with a trip to the NFC title game on the line.
Have they learned enough, improved enough, gelled enough to avoid a three-game sweep and pull off the upset?
On offense, the answer seems like an easy yes, considering the way that side of the ball has been performing for Tampa Bay in recent weeks. Since their bye in Week 13, the Bucs offense has been seemingly unstoppable, carving up opposing defenses and racking up tons of yards and points. They're the primary reason why the Bucs haven't lost a game since that week off. Yes, the Saints are the best defense they've faced in a while, but the Tampa Bay offense hit their stride at the perfect time, and they're ready to hang this time around.
On the other side of the ball, things are a bit more foggy. While the Tampa Bay defense has proven they can make the necessary adjustments to dominate a quality opponent (see their 38-10 blowout of the Green Bay Packers, the No. 1 seed in the NFC, back in Week 6), they failed miserably at doing just that the last time they played the Saints.
If the Bucs are going to upend the Saints, it won't just take the offense maintaining their current level of output against one of the NFL's best defenses. It's also going to take their defense changing up their approach, playing a lot more press-man coverage, sending linebackers after Drew Brees, and helping their pass rush by not giving away easy completions.

Thankfully for the Bucs, they have one of the NFL's best defensive coordinators in Todd Bowles. He's smart enough to know what has to be done if the Bucs want to pull this off, and it falls on his shoulders to play to his players' strengths, and also to the weaknesses of his opponent.
The smart money is on the Saints here, until the Bucs prove otherwise. But the playoffs is where Tom Brady does his best work, and his team has the ultimate chip on their shoulder in trying to avoid a three-game season sweep at rival hands.
With an offense that is finally firing on all cylinders, and a defense schemed to take away what the Saints do best, the Bucs will do just enough to win the only game against New Orleans that will matter this year.
