This game would normally be hyped as Drew Brees vs. Tony Romo, but Tony Romo is out, and Drew Brees hopes to play, but will likely be less than 100% after sitting out last week. Dallas will have to go to Brandon Weeden once again. He has lost each of his last nine starts, and owns more INTs than TD passes over his career. Dallas is missing Romo as tehy own the worst yards at catch in the NFL at 4.2. Dallas receivers have caught passes for 25 yards or more just three times. The Saints aren't much better either, with just seven. The day of the Saints offense hanging a 30 almost like clockwork are over, and in their last five games they have not even reached 24. Once a cinch for 30 points at home, the Saints last three here have resulted in just 14.3 points per game. Needless to say, these are a pair of teams with the big offensive reputation, but are no longer the same threat. The Saints are now 13-6 to the UNDER when following a game where they gained fewer than 90 yards on the ground. Back the UNDER in this one.
