The Saints have given up at least 27 points in four of their last five games, while the Cowboys have failed to score 30 points in two of their previous nine games. New Orleans has been held under 20 points only thrice this season (winning one and losing the other two) and the Cowboys' defense has been inconsistent at times. Expect the game on Thursday to hit the over.
Four of the Saints' six losses this season have been by more than five points. Keeping up with Dallas will be a steep task for New Orleans' offense. Bet the Cowboys to cover the spread.

The Cowboys have been inconsistent of late, but the Saints have been miserable. New Orleans won't be able to cope with the highest-graded offense in the NFL this season.
