The New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys are set to kick off their Sunday Night Football game inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and it’s going to be an electric matchup between two teams with something to prove. The Saints need to defend their home stadium without their leader, Drew Brees, under center. The Cowboys want to prove they’re a good team, having beaten a series of cupcakes to start the year. Here’s our bold predictions for the game — with emphasis on bold. It’s possible none of these things happen. It’s very unlikely all of them do. But wouldn’t it be fun if they did?

The message in Saints practice this week should be, “Go big or go home.” Dallas is toughest opponent the Saints will have faced in a series of big-time matchups all over the country, but this stage will be the biggest by far. And it’s a huge opportunity for Bridgewater and the Saints to turn a number of narratives on their head by proving he can air it out with the best of them, stretching the field vertically to take advantage of two playmaking wide receivers in Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn Jr. Bridgewater has to give those weapons chances to win downfield.
Lawrence has some real envy of the Saints, between saying his Cowboys are the answer to Saints fans’ “Who Dat” chant (“We Dat,” he insists) and calling his defensive line the “Hot Boyz” in reference to the New Orleans hip hop group. He’s turned up the trash talk this week, but he’s headed for disappointment, especially if he lines up against Saints right tackle Ryan Ramczyk. Ramczyk has shut down other top-shelf pass rushers like J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney, and he’ll put Lawrence in purgatory, too.
MORE WEEK 4 NFL PICKS: Against the spread Straight-up picks. Saints prediction. So, what are the NFL picks? Well, in my opinion without Brees, last weekend was the exception to the rule. Cowboys stifle Brees, end Saints' 10-game win streak, 13-10. Ezekiel Elliott scored the only Dallas touchdown and the Cowboys stifled Drew Brees and the Saints, ending New Orleans' 10-game winning. New Orleans Saints vs. Dallas Cowboys Results. The following is a list of all regular season and postseason games played between the New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys. The two teams have met each other 30 times, with the New Orleans Saints winning 13 games and the Dallas Cowboys.
Two different stats are true here: first, Elliott has gained 100 or more rushing yards in 16 of his last 30 games (including the playoffs), and he’s done it in each of his last two games this year. Additionally, the Saints defense has a streak going back 29 games (all the way back to Week 11 of the 2017 season) of refusing to allow a 100-yard rusher. That includes last year’s game against Elliott, when most of his contributions came through the air; he picked up just 75 yards on 23 rushing attempts, but caught all six of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown.
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been sacked just twice in three games this year, but none of the teams he’s faced boast strong pass rush units. That’s not the case for the Saints, who have picked up nine sacks so far while racking up 20 hits and countless hurries. And the Saints had terrific success against him last season, sacking Prescott for the second-most times (7) in his career. They did that without this year’s breakout candidate, Trey Hendrickson, and they might be getting starting defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins back in the lineup.

Here's what you need to know before the Dallas Cowboys-New Orleans Saints matchup in Week 4 of the 2019 NFL season. Saints prediction The Cowboys have too much firepower to finish drives with touchdowns, and then have Ezekiel Elliott play closer in the running game. The Saints won't be able to.
It’s possible Rankins plays, but far from a lock. He still hasn’t put in a full day of practice, being limited every day since the team activated him during preseason, but this is the first game of the year in which he’ll be questionable to play rather than ruled out from the start. And he couldn’t step into a better situation to impact the Cowboys. The Saints finally have a three-deep rotation out on the edge between Hendrickson, Marcus Davenport, and Cameron Jordan, but they’ve also loaded up the interior pass-rush
2019 has been a season of frustration for Lattimore. He’s been the culprit on multiple big plays by opposing offenses, and each of the moments he’s come through with two impressive, leaping interceptions have been wiped out by penalties. It’s time he gets right and plays like his old self. And this game against Cooper will be his best opportunity. Cooper has been battling an ankle injury all week, at one point getting an MRI scan so team doctors could have a better idea of what exactly is ailing him. If he shows up looking sluggish or tentative cutting out into his breaks, Lattimore will have chances to undercut him and make a play on the football.
It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this for Cook, but he hasn’t shown much to excite fans through his first three games. Cook has had serious timing issues with both Bridgewater and Brees, dropping several passes because he turned too soon or too late in his route. It’s probably due to Cook missing critical weeks of practice leading up to the regular season kickoff. He’s had ample time to get up to speed by now, and it’s time he justifies what the Saints invested in him.

Point Spread:DAL -3/NO +3 (WagerWeb)
Over/Under Total: 45.5
When QB Drew Brees went down last week with a thumb injury that would cause him to miss several weeks, the Saints were simply trying to find a way to stay afloat. Then on Sunday backup QB Teddy Bridgewater delivered in his 1st start of the season to lead the Saints to a 33-27 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The win vaulted the Saints back into the lead of the struggling NFC South, and even without Brees the Saints still look like the best team in their division. This week the Saints get another opportunity to prove they will survive in Brees absence when they host the Dallas Cowboys inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for Sunday Night Football.
Saints Cowboys Score Predictions
The visiting Cowboys enter New Orleans this week in a predictable fade spot in a tough road match-up inside the Superdome in the primetime spotlight. While many would point to an easy schedule that has parted the way towards the Cowboys 3-0 SU record, America’s team is still emerging as a frontrunner in the NFC. The play on both sides of the ball has been thoroughly impressive despite the competition. Again I understand going into the Superdome in a primetime game is not ideal but I believe oddsmakers are overvaluing circumstantial angles against the better football team. As a result, I think bettors should be salivating at the -3 point line favoring Dallas this Sunday!
Cowboys offense firing on all cylinders
The Cowboys made it through the first three weeks with victories and covers against the number while bringing star running back Ezekiel Elliott up to game speed following his hold out. After three weeks, the reigns have been pulled off Elliott who rushed for his 2nd straight 100-yard performance in the win last week against Miami. Elliott finished with 19 rushes for 125 yards despite failing to cross the end zone. While the Cowboys prized star returns to normal, everyone has overlooked the outstanding job that QB Dak Prescott has done to start the season. Prescott is arguably playing the best football of his career. Through 3 games, Prescott is averaging more than 300 yards per game through the air and has thrown for nine touchdowns with just two interceptions. Prescott currently leads the NFL in QB rating and is benefitting greatly from Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore’s new offense. Overall, this is just a tough offense to defend, and they are going to give the Saints trouble this Sunday.

Saints offense vs. Cowboys defense
Cowboy Vs Saint
If you are a Saints’ fan, there is a reason to be hopeful this Sunday. In all honesty, the Saints have the talent on offense to attack this tough Cowboys defense. WR Michael Thomas, RB Alvin Kamara, and TE Jared Cook provide a plethora of talent at the skill positions. All with the tremendous speed that can frustrate the best of defenses. My primary concern for this side of the ball is the Saints ability to get their playmakers the ball. Head Coach Sean Payton did a great job of drawing up short-yardage plays to get the ball to their playmakers in space last week. Running back Alvin Kamara was a complete nightmare to the Seahawks defense running for 69 yards with a touchdown and catching nine passes for another 92 yards with an additional touchdown.
If you are Payton, the game plan will be similar this week. Bridgewater has to get his guys, specifically Kamara and Thomas, the ball in space. My skepticism is that the Seattle back seven compared to the Cowboys back 7 is literally night and day difference. Specifically, the Cowboys have one of the best linebacking groups in the league with Jaylon Smith, Sean Lee, and Leighton Vander-Esch. These linebackers are extremely smart and athletic, which should prevent things from being easy over the middle. I believe these linebackers will be the biggest difference this week and prevent Kamara from duplicating his week three numbers and keeping this Saints offense alive. From there, it’s up to Bridgewater to carry the torch, and I don’t believe this is the best match-up for him.
Cowboys vs. Saints betting trends
The Cowboys are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games but are just 1-7 ATS in their previous eight road trips to New Orleans. The Cowboys have hit the ‘over’ in their past five games against NFC opponents. Meanwhile, New Orleans is just 1-7 ATS in their last eight games. The Saints are also 0-5 ATS in their previous five games at home. New Orleans has hit the ‘under’ in 8 of their last ten games, but 4 of the past six meetings against the Cowboys have found the ‘over’.
