On paper, it looks like the team that can make the occasional stop on defense that will emerge victorious.

Who knows what to make of the Dallas Cowboys – so good one week and so bad the next. The one thing we know is that they will score some points against their old defensive coordinator – Rob Ryan’s defense.

The Cowboys offense is averaging 28.6 points and 342.8 yards per game and they are actually taking care of the ball contrary to popular belief – the Boys are plus 10 in turnover ratio.

It has been the Tony Romo/Dez Bryant show in Dallas this year. Tony Romo has thrown for 2,553 yards and 20 touchdowns on the season and Bryant has caught 51 passes for 705 yards and eight touchdowns. Slowing these two is essential in order to beat the Cowboys but this week should feature a little more of DeMarco Murray.

The Dallas running game has been disappointing this year but there is no better week to get DeMarco Murray going than this week. He’s been banged up and tragically under-utilized this season.

He has 459 yards and three scores on the year but gets a crack at a New Orleans defense that was absolutely shredded by Chris Ivory last week.

Defensively, the Cowboys have been bad, ranking 31st in both total yards (419.2 per game) and passing yards allowed per game. They rank 15th in points allowed as well as 16th in rushing yards per game but we all know the Saints won’t be running the ball. DeMarcus Ware should be back in the lineup this week which should help keep Drew Brees uncomfortable.

Just when you think the New Orleans Saints are elevating to elite status in the NFL, they lose to the New York Jets.

It’s true that the absence of Darren Sproles and Marques Colston made a difference but it was the play of New Orleans defense that raised a few red flags.

The Saints have been one of the most improved defensive teams out there however – credit Rob Ryan, ranking ninth in total yards, fifth in passing yards and fifth in points against per game. The run defense has struggled a bit, however, ranking 25th in the NFL and this unit let Chris Ivory go absolutely nuts last week. DeMarco Murray looms and the Cowboys want to get him the rock with greater frequency – the Saints better be prepared!

We don’t have to worry about the New Orleans offense. The Saints are averaging 27 points and 397.4 yards per game and any time you have Drew Brees guiding the ship, you are in terrific hands. Brees has passed for 2,672 yards with 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions while being sacked 20 times.

He and Jimmy Graham have been absolute magic this season – Graham already has 49 catches and 10 TDs. The supporting cast of Marques Colston, Kenny Stills, Robert Meachem has also been top notch.

Darren Sproles who left last week’s game with a concussion should be back as the X-factor for this team.

As demonstrated last week the Saints are a different team without the element that Sproles brings.

Sunday Night Football Betting Prediction:

A few trends to consider:

• Under is 11-4 in DAL last 15 road games.
• NO are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 home games.
• NO are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games in Week 10.
• NO are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games in November.
• Underdog is 8-0 ATS in their last 8 meetings.
• DAL are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

The Over looks like the here – these teams look to be prime for a 31-27 type game. I think it will be close however that will come down to the last possession – the Cowboys have a way of scripting their games that way.

I like the Saints to win but for the Cowboys to keep it close.

Take the Over for sure but look for the Cowboys to cover.

Pick: Dallas Cowboys +6 1/2 and the Over – 53 points
