  • The Saints are 9-2 SU and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against the Cowboys.

With Tony Romo sidelined until later in the season, the Brandon Weeden era started off with a 39-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. Weeden filled in admirably, however, completing 22 out of his 26 passes for 232 yards.

The Cowboys lead the underwhelming NFC East at 2-1 SU while the Giants, Redskins and Eagles rank below them at 1-2 SU after three weeks.

Saints star signal caller Drew Brees was forced to sit out Sunday’s 27-22 loss to Carolina with a shoulder injury, causing journeyman QB Luke McCown to fill in.

Brees’ Week 4 status was up in the air for most of the week, but on Friday Saints coach Sean Payton said he expects Brees to start Sunday.
