For those who focus on NFL betting trends, the loss by the Cowboys was expected as Dallas is 3-7 when playing in December. It was the second straight loss for the Cowboys who now travel to New Orleans to play the undefeated Saints and might be without linebaker DeMarcus Ware after spraining his neck in last week's game. "Even though it might not look like we're playing the best football, you can turn that around in a hurry," quarterback Tony Romo said after the game. "I suspect this football team will do that."

Bower's NFL Picks: The Saints are one of the best teams in the NFL right now and the Cowboys are one of the laughing stocks when it comes to playing football in December. Even though the Saints have secured their place in the playoffs, I just can't see them slacking off against Dallas and ruining a perfect season. My NFL betting pick for this game on the NFL network will be to take the Saints at home laying the points in week 15 odds against the Cowboys to the UNDER. Vegas odds at the MGM Mirage sportsbook have the New Orleans Saints -7 favorites against the Dallas Cowboys with a total of 53.5.
