The New Orleans Saints will play host to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, and it should be a solid matchup. Nobody expected the Saints to be virtually unopposed in the NFC South (meaning most figured the Atlanta Falcons wouldn't collapse so spectacularly) while few predicted the Cowboys would have a winning record through nine games. But Dallas (5-4) is atop the NFC East, though they'll have trouble staying above .500 as they take on New Orleans (6-2).

That’s reflected in the odds, as well. The Saints opened as 6.5-point favorites on the books, but the line has widened in their favor, with some books having them favored by as much as 7.5 points, according to OddsShark. The Superdome home-field advantage certainly plays a factor, but the Saints have definitely looked like the better team thus far this season.
The over/under for the matchup opened at 53 points and it’s staying around that. That total has gone under in 11 of Dallas’ last 15 games on the road, and over in four of New Orleans’ last five games. It could be messy and high scoring, as the Saints boast the No. 3 passing offense while the Cowboys hold the No. 31 passing defense.
