NFL bettors should tune into the New Orleans Saints (1-0) vs. Dallas Cowboys (1-0) matchup on Sunday, September 15, at 1:00 PM ET. Both teams seek another win after explosive offensive performances in Week 1. The action occurs at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where the Cowboys are favored with a point spread of -6.5 (-110).
The offense flourished for the Saints when they took on the Carolina Panthers in their recent battle. They defeated them 47-10, scoring 30 points in the first half. However, the Panthers will potentially be one of the league's worst teams, so this was expected.
Derek Carr missed four of his 23 passes, which totaled 200 yards and three touchdowns. Rashid Shaheed exploded with three receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown. These two will likely need to connect more if they want to succeed against the Cowboys.
The Saints had 379 yards and allowed the Panthers to get 193. They also had one turnover but forced the Panthers to make three turnovers. The Saints also possessed the ball for most of the game, which will be critical if they can do the same against the Cowboys.
They have a handful of players listed as questionable for the start of this game. However, they should have enough quality personnel for a good fight.
The Cowboys did not let their foot off the gas against the Cleveland Browns until late in the fourth, with just a field goal scored. The final result was a 33-17 victory for the Cowboys, with Dak Prescott pushing the offense forward.
Prescott completed 19 of 32 passes for 179 yards and added a touchdown. Ezekiel Elliott had 10 carries for 40 yards and also contributed a touchdown. They have a healthy balance of passing and rushing to combat anything the Saints push their way.
The Cowboys had team stats that were similar to those of the Browns. One key difference was Deshaun Watson's lack of accuracy on the Browns, which forced them to have two turnovers. This defense must swarm Carr and force him to throw away or move out of the pocket.
Several players for the Cowboys are listed as questionable, so their team will likely have everyone needed to compete at a high level against the Browns.
