Saints Preview

Spencer Rattler led the way for the New Orleans offense last week, completing 14 passes for 141 yards and running the ball 5 times for 21 yards. Zach Wilson completed 6 passes for 55 yards in the game. Kendre Miller led the way on the ground for New Orleans with 22 yards on 6 carries. CJ Johnson was the top target in the New Orleans offense last week with 51 yards on 4 grabs. Jalen Moreno-Copper added 34 yards on 2 grabs, and Moliki Matavao chipped in 3 catches for 34 yards.

Cowboys Preview

Joe Milton II carried the Dallas offense last week, completing 9 passes for 179 yards and 2 scores in the game. Sam Howell completed 7 passes for 65 yards. Jaydon Blue led all Dallas ball carriers with 75 yards on 15 carries. Phil Mafah ran the ball 1 time for 15 yards and 1 score. Camden Brown added 77 yards on 2 catches. Jonathan Mingo chipped in 2 catches for 62 yards and one score.

Saints vs Cowboys Pick

Dallas is the far better team in this matchup and has looked sharp throughout the preseason. The Cowboys have consistently executed on both sides of the ball, while New Orleans has struggled to find the same level of rhythm and production. Playing at home should give Dallas another advantage, allowing the Cowboys to take control early and dictate the pace from start to finish. Take the Cowboys to remain undefeated in the preseason with a comfortable home win and cover Friday night against New Orleans.
