New Orlean Saints vs Dallas Cowboys

 

New Orlean Saints - 7.5

 

Game Total - 51.5

 

Pre Game Props

1) The last non-kneeling, offensive play of the 1st Quarter is a passing play (We'll leave this open until the 2:00 mark) - Yes - 2.4/ No - 2.6
 
This is a tricky question because if the Saints have the ball then I would go with a NO as they are a pass heavy offense.  If the Cowboys have the ball it could very well be a running play.  I expect the Saints to dominate the time of possession in this game so give me a NO for the prop.
 
2) D. Prescott (DAL) attempts more passes than D. Brees (NO) in the 1st Quarter - Yes - 3.5/ No - 2.0
 
I mean, this one is clearly going to be a NO.  Brees should have plenty more pass attempts than Dak in this game and in the first quarter.
 
3) M. Ingram (NO) records more rushing attempts than A. Kamara (NO) in the 1st Quarter - Yes -3.1/ No -2.2
 
I am going with a YES for this prop.  With Ingram back he has been seeing more carries than Kamara with Kamara still very involved in the team's passing attack.
 
4) Either team scores 2 or more TD's in the 1st Quarter - Yes - 4.5/ No - 1.7
 
Yes, the Saints are going to go up early in this one. I know the spread is just about a touchdown between the two but has anybody been watching how well New Orleans has been playing of late?
 
5) The first offensive play of the game gains 3 or more total yards - Yes - 1.6/ No - 4.1
 
I am going with a YES here.  The Saints tend to gain a ton of yardage and the Cowboys are likely handing off the Zeke who is rarely held under three years on a rush attempt.
 
6) M. Thomas (NO) records 1 or more receptions on the NO opening drive - Yes - 1.8/ No - 3.6
 
Lock it in. This is a YES.  He is the most targeted receiver on the Saints offense.  How does he not catch a pass on the opening drive?
 
7) DAL kicks a successful field goal on their opening drive - Yes - 4.8/ No - 1.5 
 
I am going with a NO here. I do not think Dallas will score on their opening drive.
