    Cowboys and Over.....Cowboys ML

    The last two times these teams have met, the scores have been high, with the Saints pulling out three-point wins both times. I see another high-scoring game, with the Cowboys' offense not holding back, knowing they must put up points against Drew Brees & Co. They will, but will it be enough? I'm going to say it will. The Cowboys are 11-0 when DeMarco Murray has more than 18 carries. But I think the impact of Ramon Harper and Malcolm Jenkins being out on the back end for the Saints will really cause trouble for this Saints secondary. Bryant and Terrance Williams will have huge games. The Saints are banged up, especially on the defensive end, while Dallas gets DeMarcus Ware back. I think this is the week Tony Romo takes down one of the NFC's best teams and the Cowboys officially arrive as a serious contender in the NFC

    Shouldn't the line move up for the saints if the public is on the saints?

    You would think but it's reverse line movement. Looks like the right side maybe the Cowboys.

    SBR Dumbest quote of the year front runner.

    May have lost the Cowboys but cashed the over. You can always rag on someone when ur on top but just remember when u r down.
