GAME TIME!
The Cowboys have won the toss and elected to defer.
Saints start us off on offense after the first dynamic kickoff.
Here we gooooo!
Parsons vs Fuaga
Saints offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga has been dealing with back issues, missing the last two of their practices. But he's officially active vs the Cowboys and will protect Derek Carr's blindside on the left.
The rookie came into the league known mostly for his run-blocking abilities, but in his season debut last week, he proved what he can do as a pass protector as well, finishing with the fourth-highest PFF pass blocking among all tackles (87.3).
This week, though, he'll really be put to the test as he will be up against the Cowboys All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons. In their season opener, Parsons racked up 11 pressures on Deshaun Watson, tied for the NFL lead. Last season, Parsons ranked sixth in the league for total sacks with 16. Fuaga has played against some tough defensive competition in college, but not like Parsons. He'll have a tough test early on with Parsons today.
CeeDee set for breakout game
The Dallas offense was limited last week against the Browns, especially in the second half. Their top receiver, CeeDee Lamb, who just about a month ago became one of the highest-paid receivers in the league, finished the game with just five catches for 61 yards and three carries for 25 yards.
This week, however, I'm betting we see that change, especially with cornerback Marshon Lattimore on the sidelines.
Lamb is the best slot receiver in the league. Without Lattimore in the game, the Saints will be relying on second-round pick rookie Kool-Aid Mckinstry. With QB Dak Prescott getting his chemistry back again with Lamb after he missed training camp, and with the Lattimore injury helping him out, Lamb is set to have a breakout game against this New Orleans defense.
The Cowboys will play without tight end JakeFerguson as he recovers from a knee injury he suffered last week against the Browns.
The Saints will be without a slew of defensive weapons including cornerback Marshon Lattimore against an explosive Dallas offense.
The odds favor the Dallas Cowboys over the New Orleans Saints this week, and though I agree, I think it'll be a close game.

Where they stand
The Cowboys and Saints both had dominating wins in Week 1, with the Saints putting up the most points of any NFL team in their 47-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The Cowboys were unexpected victors in their dominant 33-17 win over the Cleveland Browns on the road.
Cowboys in Week 1
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott became the league's highest-paid player in history just moments before the game last week and he ended the game without a single turnover. The defense had an even better performance, completely shutting down Deshaun Watson and the Browns offense.
Browns in Week 1
The Browns already won their game against the Panthers before halftime with quarterback Derek Carr playing an almost perfect game. He finished with 200 passing yards and three touchdowns against Carolina.
