That's funny. I thought he asked 'who wins?", not "who is favored?"

He did, but it's not a toss-up game or anything where you're going to see which side gets more votes. Or if this was the Super Bowl or something, it would be of more general interest even if the spread was large. Dallas is likely to win, everyone knows that, and the information on how likely they are to win is easy to find.

A thread on "Why might New Orleans pull the upset?" could be interesting.

I'm not offended or anything; it just seems to add clutter.

EDIT: Heh, right now New Orleans leads 3-2. POSSIBLE CONTRARIAN VOTING?!?!?!!?!??

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

I also have the exact same poll in my weekly NFC thread. Dallas is winning easily.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Honestly? I'll be picking the Saints straight up this week.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Explanation?

Cowboys are hot.

Cowboys are home.

Horn, Colston might not play nor are 100%.

Cowboys D is better. Cowboys O is comparable.

And this coming from a long time Cowboy Hater.

I also really wanted to pick the Browns against the Chiefs last week, and the Eagles over the Panthers.

I'm not saying I'm correct or there is any rhyme or reason. I just think Dallas is really high right now, and NO has been as hot if not hotter the last 2-3 weeks than them.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

3 Weeks ago, Cincy beat NOR 31-16. 2 Weeks ago they pounded an average Atlanta team 31-13. Last week they pounded a suprising 9ers team at home 34-10.

Cowgirls beat Colts 21-14 at home 3 weeks ago, Tampa 38-10, and did look marginal on the road last week vs the Giants in an inter-division game.

OK, the last two weeks the Saints have looked hotter. I just don't see Dallas running the table, and this seems like a good game for them to stumble.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Does anyone have a reliable injury update on Marques Colston for this week?

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Saints

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Saints at Dallas...they lost Hollis to steriods...Colston is probably out...Dallas has a great run D.

They are on the road.

The only thing in their favor is Dallas just game off a really tough/physical/emotional road win vs. divison rival.

Dallas wins unless both teams score in the 30s

Bizump!

Possible preview of NFC Championship game?

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Hm...now that wasn't a very good start for New Orleans was it?

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

the thing that amazed me on the J. Jones run is how [censored] fast TO is

Wow, nice eye there. I just checked it agai on the DVR. Him running up behind everyone and then passed them was kinda impressive. It looked like everyone else was in slow motion.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

he needed to catch JJ so he could get in the pictures.

ya its pretty sick considering he started the play by blocking

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

So the Saints have a reverse on their 4th and short plays? Interesting. I like the call actually.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

So the Saints have completely changed the momentum of this game. I figured after a 70+ yard run on the road they would take a dive. Instead they drive from their 12 yard line for a TD and then pick off Jes....Tony Romo.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Lol everytime I watch a Saints game I know that somewhere Nick Saban is watching and pulling out his hair

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Okay, who had Mike Karney in their fantasy league?

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

I thought Reggie Bush returned punts for the Saints.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

"If it is the 15 yard variety it would be close." ~Madden

Isn't the 15 yarder a personal foul which is an automatic first down?

And I really hate the running into the kicker penalty for the fact that it is the most avoidable of maybe any penalty next to a block in the back.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Needle,

I think you're right it is a auto first down.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

LOL at Romo pump faking the Saints DE twice. Anyone else find that funny?

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

lol, I called a friend earlier to bet 100 on NO and the 7.5 POINTS for me, but he made it on the NO to win..

Go Saints.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

lol how do you miss that? They can't see a 15yarder period but they're supposed to distinguish between the personal foul and 'incidental' varieties?

This is why NFL back judges need to be between the ages of 30-55 and be able to run at a decent speed. They just can't get into position to make those calls. It looked like they were 15 yards from the play, of course the only flags they can throw from there are what they "think" just happened.

Anyway, I can't listen to Madden anymore, not only is he on a roll with dumb comments tonight be he sounds like he just smoked about 6 packs before doing the show tonight. Ugh...

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Haha yeah that was funny.
I always sound gay for Madden but whatever: 3rd&goal for 2: "run if you're going to go for it, throw if you're not". Maybe sounds obvious but it's a logical point that most announcers (and even offensive coaches) fail to grasp.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Good, give them the down back. Clearly a catch.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

One rule I don't understand, why can't coaches challenge in the last 2 minutes of the 2nd quarter? I understand the 4th quarter, kind of, but if they have two challenges let them use it then, you allow it the 28 minutes beforehand.

edit: Incomplete? Why?

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Holy crap refs are retarded.

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Is that a push? Saints get 16 seconds but minus 13 yards?

Edit: forgot, Saints have the MVP on their team.

And gay for Dallas. Can we get a replay of that offensive PI?
Woot gogo Brees

Re: Saints @ Cowboys
 

Jamal Jones knows *that* one was a catch.
