#268 ASA PLAY ON Dallas Cowboys -6 over New Orleans Saints, Sunday at 1 PM ET - New Orleans looked great last week at home but their opponent may have had a lot to do with that. Carolina simply looked inept on both sides of the ball. The Saints scored 47 points on just 379 total yards for a ridiculous average of 1 point for every 8 yards gained. Part of that was field position with New Orleans having scoring drives (TD or FG) of 1, 9, 16, and 36 yards. QB Carr has zero pressure and completed 82% of his passes because of that. That won’t happen this week vs a Dallas defensive front that is among the best in the NFL. The Cowboys had 6 sacks last week vs Cleveland and finished in the top 8 last season in sack percentage. They’ll be facing a Saints offensive line that was solid last week but came into the season ranked 31st per PFF so maybe an aberration last week vs a poor team. Dallas was also impressive last week and played a much better opponent and they were on the road. They dominated the Browns 33-17 holding Cleveland’s offense to just 3.3 YPP. The Browns scored a TD with under 30 seconds left in that one to make it look more respectable than it actually was. Now we get Dallas at home where they’ve been dominant winning 16 straight regular season games by an average margin of +17.5 PPG. Only 3 of those 16 straight regular season wins came by less than 6 points which is today’s spread. Dallas outscored their opponents at home by 172 points last season which was tops in the NFL. As you might expect with those numbers, Dak Prescott’s home and road splits last season were drastically different. At home he completed 73% of his passes for almost 2,500 yards, 22 TD’s and just 3 picks. He should have lots of success vs a New Orleans secondary that might be without their top CB Lattimore. Cowboys by double digits
