The Dallas Cowboys are looking for their fourth consecutive season of (at least) 12 regular season wins.\u00a0Only this year, they hope to finally make it to the NFC Championship Game for a chance to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

That quest got off to a great start in the form of a 33-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns.\u00a0In week two they\u2019ll welcome the New Orleans Saints into AT&T Stadium.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to multiple reports, Dallas\u2019 offense may already have a big advantage.<\/p>\n

Cowboys\u2019 Offense Just Got A Massive Advantage In Week 2 Vs. Saints<\/h3>\n

Due to Marshon Lattimore\u2019s injury, Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb could have a massive game in Week 2.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A hamstring injury forced Lattimore to leave the Saints\u2019 Week 1 victory. Soft-tissue injuries are always tricky, no matter how minor they may seem. Players who return too soon are at high risk of re-injury, and Lattimore has an extensive history of hamstring injuries.\u00a0According to journalist\u00a0Jerry Trotta:<\/p>\n

The Saints have playoff aspirations this season, so it might be in their best interest to sit Lattimore this week.\u00a0The four-time Pro Bowler did not practice on Wednesday, so he seems questionable at best to suit up on Sunday. Even if he plays, he\u2019d likely be on a pitch count.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Regardless, Lattimore\u2019s injury sets up well for Lamb and the Cowboys offense to have a breakout game.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lamb is more lethal from the slot and played there a lot against the Browns: 30 snaps in the slot compared to 15 out wide,\u00a0per PFF. That could have something to do with Cleveland having two strong outside CBs in Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome, but Lamb is the NFL\u2019s best slot receiver.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He is going to play there a lot regardless, but Mike McCarthy could get even more creative with No. 88 this week if Lattimore doesn\u2019t go. In that scenario, the Saints would ask more out of second-round rookie Kool-Aid Mckinstry and undrafted rookie Payton Rice. What play-caller wouldn\u2019t want to get their all-word receiver matched up against first-year players?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prescott and Lamb connected multiple times in Week 1, but their chemistry was a tick off. Lattimore\u2019s injury could help get them back on track.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In NFL Week 2 odds from BetMGM Sportsbook, the Cowboys are 6.5-point favorites over the Saints.<\/p>\n

New Orleans is +240 on the moneyline, while Dallas is -300.<\/p>\n

There is a 45.5 point over\/under set for this game.<\/p>\n

In Week 1, both teams impressed, but it was the Cowboys who stood out against a more difficult opponent on the road.\u00a0One thing is certain, this will truly be an early test for both teams who hope to make noise in the NFC playoffs this year.<\/p>\n
