Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints: 5 Bold predictions for Week 4
By Randy Gurzi
1. Dak throws for 350+ yards, 3+ touchdowns
No player has made as big of a leap in 2019 than Dak Prescott has. The often-maligned signal-caller for the Cowboys has taken his performance to another level as he and new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore have found plenty of success in the first three weeks.
Not only has Moore’s play-calling been beneficial for Dak, but his footwork and mechanics are miles ahead of what he showed in 2018. A lot of credit in this area should go to Jon Kitna, the first-year quarterback coach who spent the summer working with Prescott in these areas.
All that being added up has No. 4 off to his best start as a pro. In three games, Prescott has completed 74.5 percent of his passes for 920 yards with nine touchdowns against just two picks. In Week 4, he should have no problem continuing this great start and this final bold prediction is that he will throw for more than 350 yards and have his third game with three or more passing touchdowns.
For as good as New Orleans has been this season, their secondary still has some weaknesses. That was evident in their win over Seattle as Russell Wilson still managed 406 yards passing while throwing two touchdowns and running in two more.
Prescott should have no problem finding similar success, especially considering he has more weapons than Wilson with Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb, Ezekiel Elliott, and Jason Witten at his disposal.
This should be an exciting game even with Drew Brees sidelined and the Cowboys will need all their stars to step up should they want to get the win. Dak will do his part, but he will need the rest of his playmakers to do the same to steal the road win.
