The Saints and the Texans begin new eras tonight. New Orleans will have to learn what life is like without Sean Payton and the Texans have to start getting used to Lovie Smith. 

Both teams are looking forward to seeing growth from their quarterbacks this week, so tonight might be a good time to see some glimpses of the future. 

With each squad entering a new journey, preseason Game 1 will be an interesting one. 

Here are the odds for their matchup via WynnBET.

Cowboys vs. Broncos Prediction and Pick

Our Joe Summers, who is a renowned Jerry Jones despiser, handicapped this game and found some very revealing stats about the Cowboys.

“I didn't realize this until researching the game, but MY WORD the Cowboys are an awful preseason team. They've scored more than 16 points once in their last 11 preseason games, which feels like it should be cause for relegation like in the English Premier League.

Denver's offense is going to be good. That feels almost certain. I'm thrilled to watch Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Javonte Williams with an actual, real-life quarterback, and it's even more joyous that their first win will come at the expense of Jones and McCarthy.”

Dallas has a lot of issues with its receiver depth and it already has historical issues with its offense. I trust that Denver will get off to a fast start and get the win.  However, now that the line is at nearly a touchdown, I have to take the Cowboys ATS.

Lean: Cowboys -5 (-110)
