At the onset of the season, New Orleans faced doubts about its viability. Superstar quarterback Drew Brees retired as a certain first-ballot Hall of Famer. Jameis Winston was tabbed to be the replacement. But Winston has missed most of the season with a knee injury. As a result, Trevor Siemian has taken over as the starter. And Siemian has not proven to be an asset with the NFL odds. Following a strong start, the Saints are on a 4-game losing streak. And their once prolific offense is struggling to find the mark. Dallas comes visiting the Saints Thursday night.

Dallas Cowboys at New Orleans Saints SBG Odds Overview
On this occasion, the Cowboys generate the vast majority of sportsbook support. In good times and bad, Dallas remains a strong draw for the casual masses. There is a reason that they are known as “America’s Team.” Despite their recent woes, the Cowboys remain way out in front of the NFC East. This adds to their wagering appeal with the squares. New Orleans is a tough sell to the gambling public. Cause by their current slump and lack of a credible quarterback.
Dallas Cowboys Team Overview
Last week Dallas lost to Las Vegas 36-33 as 7-point home favorites. The game went over the total of 51. As a result, the Cowboys are 7-4 straight up, 8-3 against the spread, and 6-5 over/under. Overall, Dallas ranks 1st for total offense and 3rd for scoring offense. Defensively, the Cowboys rank 26th overall and 14th for points allowed.
Following a hot start, the Cowboys are beginning to cool off. Dallas was done in by their defense last year. And that is starting to happen to the Cowboys again for 2021. Defensively Dallas is better than last year. However, cracks are beginning to show. Fortunately, the Cowboys play in the woeful NFC East, where there are no legitimate threats to their status.
Of great concern is that coach Mike McCarthy will be out with COVID protocol. Dallas has one more distraction to deal with at the worst possible time.
