Cowboys vs. Saints: Can Dallas really win this game?

The first is not turn the football over. The Saints have taken the football away from their opponent 17 times this season which is a solid number, but New Orleans is one of the best teams in the NFL at creating points off oppositions turnovers.

With an offense with the quick strike firepower that the Saints have, it is imperative the Cowboys and Dak Prescott does not turn the football over and give New Orleans a short field to work with.

On the flip side of that, if you are going to upset possibly the best team in the NFL, you have to take the ball away somehow yourself. Last week Dallas did an outstanding job taking the ball away from the Washington Redskins three times and will need some of that magic this week.

Now the odds of Drew Brees throwing you three interceptions is slim to none, but if Dallas can find a way to just create one turnover at a key moment in the game it could completely turn the tide.

The Saints are the best team in the NFL at stopping the run, and if Dallas is going to pull off the upset win this will have to change. We have seen the past three weeks how much different the Cowboys offense can look when they can run the football effectively.

If they are going to win this game the Dallas offensive line has to win the battle up front and give Ezekiel Elliott some room to run the football and make plays.
