Pro Football Betting — Saints Look to Extend Streak Under Payton
The New Orleans Saints have been very hard to defeat when playing in their indoor home. On Sunday night they will try to keep that going as they face off against the Dallas Cowboys in pro football betting action that is scheduled to get underway at 8:30 PM ET at the Superdome in the Big Easy.
The Saints lost in rather disappointing fashion last week when they were beaten up physically by the New York Jets. meanwhile, the Cowboys were having a nail-biter for the second straight week, mounting a late drive to beat the Minnesota Vikings a week after having the same done to them by the Detroit Lions.
Dallas is currently 5-4 on the season, which means, after Philadelphia’s win against Green Bay on Sunday, that they will have to win in order to stay a game ahead in the NFC East race. The Cowboys have a 7-2 record against the NFL odds. New Orleans is 6-2 straight-up, which means they are a game ahead of the Carolina Panthers going into Sunday’s games.

New Orleans does not have much of a running game, and that much was evident when they played the Jets. Pierre Thomas had 24 yards on the ground, and that paced the team. Without the threat of a potent ground attack, the Jets were able to tee off on Drew Brees, who was under constant pressure and was intercepted twice. NFL bettors did, however marvel at the play of tight end Jimmy Graham, who continues to battle through a partially torn plantar fascia, catching nine passes for 116 yards in that game. It is said that for every game he is going to be a game time decision because of his condition.
But he is said to be available, along with Marques Colston, who has been bothered by a knee injury, and Darren Sproles, who was able to pass through the NFL’s concussion protocol. Between Graham and Sproles, these are two outlets who allow Brees to get rid of the ball quicker, and the idea is to mitigate the effect of the Dallas pass rush.
The Cowboys, who are priced at +215 in the money line odds to win straight-up at BetAnySports, seem to be more effective offensively when they have the services of DeMarco Murray, who sat out a couple of games but then came back to the fold against Minnesota and gained 31 yards on four carries. if he can have a big game, that will take the pressure off Tony Romo, who is not having a bad season (66%, 20 TD’s).
