New Orleans Saints vs. Dallas Cowboys, Friday, August 28, 2026
According to Kalshi's 2026 NFL market-implied power rankings, Dallas enters as the No. 13 team in the league while New Orleans ranks 27th.
New Orleans head coach Kellen Moore returns to Dallas, where he spent four seasons as offensive coordinator before taking the Saints job. The finale comes a week after the two teams were each fined $500,000 by the NFL for fighting during a joint practice.
Both of New Orleans' backup quarterbacks struggled in last week's loss to the Rams, with Spencer Rattler throwing a pick-six and Zach Wilson adding an interception of his own. It is unclear which of the two will get the bulk of Friday's snaps.
Dallas has its own quarterback competition heating up behind Dak Prescott. Joe Milton III has outplayed veteran offseason addition Sam Howell through two preseason games, including a three-touchdown outing against Arizona last week. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has called the backup job a "neck and neck" race.
