The New Orleans Saints will host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football this week, and it promises to be an exciting game between a road-tested Saints squad led by a backup quarterback, and a red-hot Cowboys team that’s laid waste to some of the worst teams in the NFL. Something has to give.
That said, expert picks collected by NFL Pickwatch don’t favor the Saints: just 14% of observers from around the league are taking the home team, overwhelmingly backing the insurgent Cowboys. It’s worth noting that early returns on this week’s picks are souring, with 90% of experts calling for the Green Bay Packers to hold off the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football (they didn’t).
