Saints prediction The Cowboys have too much firepower to finish drives with touchdowns, and then have Ezekiel Elliott play closer in the running game. The Saints won't be able to.

The New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys are set to kick off their Sunday Night Football game inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and it’s going to be an electric matchup between two teams with something to prove. The Saints need to defend their home stadium without their leader, Drew Brees, under center. The Cowboys want to prove they’re a good team, having beaten a series of cupcakes to start the year. Here’s our bold predictions for the game — with emphasis on bold. It’s possible none of these things happen. It’s very unlikely all of them do. But wouldn’t it be fun if they did?
The message in Saints practice this week should be, “Go big or go home.” Dallas is toughest opponent the Saints will have faced in a series of big-time matchups all over the country, but this stage will be the biggest by far. And it’s a huge opportunity for Bridgewater and the Saints to turn a number of narratives on their head by proving he can air it out with the best of them, stretching the field vertically to take advantage of two playmaking wide receivers in Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn Jr. Bridgewater has to give those weapons chances to win downfield.
Lawrence has some real envy of the Saints, between saying his Cowboys are the answer to Saints fans’ “Who Dat” chant (“We Dat,” he insists) and calling his defensive line the “Hot Boyz” in reference to the New Orleans hip hop group. He’s turned up the trash talk this week, but he’s headed for disappointment, especially if he lines up against Saints right tackle Ryan Ramczyk. Ramczyk has shut down other top-shelf pass rushers like J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney, and he’ll put Lawrence in purgatory, too.
Two different stats are true here: first, Elliott has gained 100 or more rushing yards in 16 of his last 30 games (including the playoffs), and he’s done it in each of his last two games this year. Additionally, the Saints defense has a streak going back 29 games (all the way back to Week 11 of the 2017 season) of refusing to allow a 100-yard rusher. That includes last year’s game against Elliott, when most of his contributions came through the air; he picked up just 75 yards on 23 rushing attempts, but caught all six of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown.
Cowboy Vs Saint
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been sacked just twice in three games this year, but none of the teams he’s faced boast strong pass rush units. That’s not the case for the Saints, who have picked up nine sacks so far while racking up 20 hits and countless hurries. And the Saints had terrific success against him last season, sacking Prescott for the second-most times (7) in his career. They did that without this year’s breakout candidate, Trey Hendrickson, and they might be getting starting defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins back in the lineup.
It’s possible Rankins plays, but far from a lock. He still hasn’t put in a full day of practice, being limited every day since the team activated him during preseason, but this is the first game of the year in which he’ll be questionable to play rather than ruled out from the start. And he couldn’t step into a better situation to impact the Cowboys. The Saints finally have a three-deep rotation out on the edge between Hendrickson, Marcus Davenport, and Cameron Jordan, but they’ve also loaded up the interior pass-rush
2019 has been a season of frustration for Lattimore. He’s been the culprit on multiple big plays by opposing offenses, and each of the moments he’s come through with two impressive, leaping interceptions have been wiped out by penalties. It’s time he gets right and plays like his old self. And this game against Cooper will be his best opportunity. Cooper has been battling an ankle injury all week, at one point getting an MRI scan so team doctors could have a better idea of what exactly is ailing him. If he shows up looking sluggish or tentative cutting out into his breaks, Lattimore will have chances to undercut him and make a play on the football.
Cowboys Vs Saints 2019 Score Prediction
It’s unfortunate that it’s come to this for Cook, but he hasn’t shown much to excite fans through his first three games. Cook has had serious timing issues with both Bridgewater and Brees, dropping several passes because he turned too soon or too late in his route. It’s probably due to Cook missing critical weeks of practice leading up to the regular season kickoff. He’s had ample time to get up to speed by now, and it’s time he justifies what the Saints invested in him.
