Neither have played tough teams. The Cowboys have put up more points but also allowed more points. Their defense does get better but will it be enough to slow the Patriots enough to pull a win at home?

I am from Texas, but the Pats would win in a head to head matchup RIGHT NOW. Who knows which players will be healthy when they finally meet? The Pats have Tom Brady, who rarely makes mistakes, gets sacked, throws ints, fumbles, etc. Oh yeah, what about Randy Moss who will stretch the defense, and the good running game? They acquired Wes Welker the speedy little guy who plays in the slot and Ben Watson is a great tight end. Speaking of defense, the Pats are better than Dallas right now.
Dallas has T.O. enough said for the WR position. Marion Barber III is totally wicked, their kicker is pretty good too. Romo is a younger Brett Farve (fearless, gunslinger mentality, moves well in the pocket under pressure) If Dallas has Terry Glenn, I would give the nod to them, but they don't and like I said, Brady rarely makes mistakes. Even though Dallas is playing at home, the Pats will win by 10, and not in a shoot out 34-24. T.O. will get 100 yrds and a score, MBIII will get a score, and the opportunistic defense will get a score, with Folks kicking a field goal, but it will fall short of the dominance and the well roundedness of the Pats.

Cowboys but will tough but the Patriots win this road game. Patriots have the better defense, and that will be the difference in the game.

Neither has played tough teams? the Cowboys whipped the so called best defense in the NFL,and right after they did it the Bears became nobodys,so the next good team they beat will also become a nobody,now either the Bears defense was over rated and the Cowboys proved nothing or they were the best and the Boys whipped their butt

The Cowboys look good now, but they haven't played the likes of the Patriots...No way that the Cowboys beat the Patriots...Patriots will win, and win the Super Bowl...

Many wise guys shun sports futures like diabetics avoid sugar; there's too much built-in juice and gamblers don't like to tie up their money for an entire season.
Futures, however, can be fun wagers and smart birthday or Christmas gifts, especially for friends and family.
Can you think of more appropropriate stocking stuffers for North America's legion of long-suffering Cubs fans than futures tickets on their beloved Boys of Summer?
Sports handicappers advise that mid-to-late September is a good time to purchase NFL futures.
Each team has played two regular-season games, which means observers have had time for more than just a glimpse of what the 32 pro teams have to offer.
It's also not so late in the season that all value is gone, though if you plan to play futures, it's best to hurry before numbers plummet too far.
The Las Vegas Hilton SuperBook, for example, Monday lowered odds on Green Bay to win the Super Bowl from 50/1 to 30/1, the same as at Bodog Sportsbook, largely off The Pack's two early-season victories.
The Cheeseheads have tumbled all the way to 15/1 at Leroy's more than 60 Nevada stores.
And if you want to buy futures on current favorite New England, you really need to hustle buns.
A mid-week sampling of Sin City books revealed the Patriots were 3/1 at the Stratosphere Tower, but down to 7/4 at the Hilton.
They were 2/1 on Friday at Bodog Sportsbook.
New England was in the 6/1 range with San Diego and defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis when numbers originally were posted in mid-January, but Pats odds started to slide big-time when they acquired Randy Moss.
Professional Handicappers League member Jimmy Boyd says his best futures pick at this point is Denver, which is 2-0 after scoring late victories over Buffalo and Oakland, thanks largely to Jason Elam's foot.
The Broncos failed to cover each, though, laying 3 against the Bills and 9 1/2 versus the Raiders.
Denver is a 20/1 futures choice at Bodog Sportsbook as well as the Hilton and 18/1 at Leroy's sports books.
"The next best AFC team after New England and Indy just might be the Broncos," Boyd said.
"They could leapfrog the Chargers in the (AFC West) division.
"Their wins haven't been too impressive so far, but their defense is back and their offense will improve as the season goes on.
"They're a team that finds ways to win games.
"I chalk a lot of that up to (Coach Mike) Shanahan."
Oddsmaker Ken White, managing partner of Las Vegas Sports Consultants, doesn't particularly like Denver and thinks the Broncos are fortunate to be among the league's undefeated teams.
Denver is laying a field goal to Jacksonville this weekend.
"They've been cutting it close and won both their victories late, but their luck eventually will run out." White said.
"They're a 9 or 10-win team and I don't think they'll make the playoffs.
"The quarterback situation keeps generating a lot of talk.
"I don't think Denver has put together two really good seasons in a row since the (John) Elway years."
White and SuperBook supervisor Jeff Sherman both recommend taking a serious look at Pittsburgh, another 2-0 club.
The Steelers have wins over Cleveland and Buffalo.
They're 15/1 at Leroy's shops, 18/1 at BoDog Sportsbook and 20/1 at the SuperBook.
"They're playing very well," White said succinctly.
Pittsburgh is the only club Sherman seriously would consider purchasing a futures ticket on right now.
"I wouldn't bet the Pats because the odds are so low, especially after the way they beat San Diego," Sherman said.
"The Steelers, though, look a little enticing.
"That's the only thing I see.

You can never go wrong picking Tom Brady in any game....As good as the Cowboys are...I think the Patriots will beat Dallas later this season..pretty badly too considering Dallas' defense compared to New England's right now...
