Tonight, at 7:20 pm US Central Time (that's +6 UDT for you ferriners), the Dallas Cowboys will play host to the New Orleans Saints. It's being billed as the biggest matchup of the week, and that may very well be true, although Sunday does have Minnesota @ New England and the Chargers @ Steelers. New Orleans is coming into this game at 10-1, having lost the first game of the season against peak Fitzmagic. They lead the league in points scored, points differential, win streak, virtually every passing efficiency stat that matters, and rushing defense. They are in a three way tie for first in fewest turnovers allowed. No team is better on 4th down, and the Saints have only failed to convert once so far this year. Their rushing attack is 7th in the league in total yardage. Their greatest weakness is against the pass, but for the past month, most of those yards given up have come in garbage time. Drew Brees is having the greatest season of his hall of fame career, and if things keep up at this rate, it would be counted among the best seasons a quarterback has ever had. This team is playing incredibly well, and is the current Vega odds favorite to win the Super Bowl. Football Outsiders only thinks they're kind of okay, I guess, if you like dome teams. The Dallas Cowboys are 6-5, but their recent play is far better than their mediocre record would suggest. Their rushing attack has a slight edge over New Orleans', they protect the ball well, and rank 4th in the NFL when it comes to giving up the ball. They have the third best defense when it comes to points allowed. Just as importantly, they have won their past three games, and have forced themselves into contention to win the NFC East after salvaging what had seemed like a lost season. The Cowboys want to make a statement tonight, and what better way than to pin only the second loss of the season on the hottest team in the league. To do that, Dallas will have to match their excellent defense against a complex, efficient, and explosive attack. Their best bet is to generate a few turnovers, score touchdowns almost every time they get into the red zone, and play solid ball control offense. Fortunately, this week they've enlisted the help of a wily and accomplished veteran who knows all about taking on the Saints.  I'm speaking, of course, about Sketch Zephyr.

*bangs gavel* Gentlemen, before this thread gangs way in earnest, I would like to propose we all engage in a hearty round of saying "gently caress the Cowboys." All in favor, say "aye." All opposed, say "gently caress the Cowboys." Aye.

I hope Dak and Zeke gently caress up a hand off so bad that Zeke Carrie's Dak's still beating heart 20 yards while a shocked Dak Prescott looks in disbelief at the football that's embedded in his chest.
