What a difference a year makes. In 2018 New Orleans was making a serious Super Bowl run with one of the top offenses in football. While the Cowboys were struggling for betting on NFL profits due to a lack of scoring power. Dallas has since solved its offensive woes and has impressed.

The question remains about the long-term prospects of New Orleans until Brees returns. Certainly, Dallas provides a stark challenge.
