Prediction

Saints 31, Cowboys 27

Moneyline (?)

The Saints get the edge at home against a Cowboys team playing a team with a winning record coming off a big win. The +125 odds for the Saints to win outright, however, is intriguing with a $10 wager returning a profit of $12.50.

Against the Spread (?)

The +2.5 is a solid number to get behind with the Saints. Get the Saints at +2.5 with +100 odds returning a profit of $10 on a $10 wager even if they lose by as many as two points.

Over/Under (?)

Lean slightly to the OVER 46.5 (-121). Make it a small-unit play regardless of the projected score. This comes down to pace early. If the Saints can get Alvin Kamara in open space early, the over hits with ease.
