Dallas is currently a 3-point home underdog according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Considering New Orleans’ road woes and Dallas’ recent surge, the Cowboys should put up a good fight as an underdog at +3. The Odds Shark computer projection sees a 26-22 Saints win.
New Orleans is 0-6 ATS in its last six games as a road favorite. Bettors may have been willing to give the Saints a pass for a season opening road loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but following that up with a 26-24 loss as a 5-point favorite against the lowly Cleveland Browns came as a big surprise.
The Saints got back on track with a 20-9 win over Minnesota last week as a 9.5-point favorite, though the 20 points scored was the team’s lowest total at home since the 2010 season.
Dallas hosts New Orleans this Sunday night at 8:30pm at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
The Dallas Cowboys tied the biggest comeback in team history last Sunday on the road against the St. Louis Rams. After falling down 21-0 in the game, Dallas surged back to eventually win 34-31 and improve to 2-1 SU and ATS on the season.
Tony Romo has thrown just one interception since throwing three in Dallas’ season opener against San Francisco. The Cowboys are 3-1 ATS in their last four games as a home underdog.
The total for this Sunday night’s game is set at 53 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The OVER is 3-0 in the last three games between these two teams.
New Orleans is like night and day at home and on the road. The Saints have proven time and time again that they can’t be trusted on the road, and considering that Dallas has an offense good enough to shoot out with New Orleans, the Cowboys look like the pick at +3 at home.
