I think you'll probably see a low scoring game. With both teams down around the twenties. One team may score a little over 30 points, but I doubt your going to see either team score 40. New England has better stats than Dallas does in almost every category. So the stats would tend to predict that New England would win. If I was Dallas I'd want to control the momentum of this game. I'd want the ball at the start of the 2nd half if I won the coin toss. That gives you the ball at the beginning of the 2nd half in case you mess up to get caught up or to widen your lead. Both teams will probably start with the run game. I'd model the way I played defense similar to the Tennessee Titans against the Indianapolis Colts. Keep the game close and force the other team to run the ball and use more downs. I'd especially do this if I was Dallas with the number of mistakes they made on offense last night. You don't want to try sprinting on offense against New England. Keep it a low scoring game, keep it close, and win it at the end.
Although New England has the statistics they haven't really played much of anyone. Look at which divisions have the worst records: the AFC East (worst) and AFC West (2nd worst). What are the two strongest divisions? The AFC South and the NFC East are. So the New England Patriots have the best statistics but against many of the worst teams in the NFL. The other two unbeatens have almost as good of statistics but against some of the best teams in the NFL.
I'll take New England on this game 31-24. Everybody is talking about New England's offense. I think New England's offense has some holes that could be exploited. However their defense is awesome. With as good as New England's defense is and with New England's improved offense this year, Romo is going to have to play probably the best game he has played so far this season to win. I have yet to see Romo play an almost flawless game this season. And that is what it is going to take for Dallas to win. So seeing Dallas stumble some with Buffalo has me concerned for Dallas. Although don't read too much into that game. Buffalo can be a very tough team to play, especially when they've lost several games and really want a win like they did last night.
I'm a Colts fans. So I'd rather see New England lose. But with as many close and tough games as the Colts and Patriots have had against each other, I know how close to a perfect game a team has to play against them to win. New England makes a few mistakes but not many and you have to take advantage of every one of them if you are going to win.

It's a little complicated to answer. If the Patriots win, they will win by at least 10 or more points. If the cowboys win, they will win with less than 10 points. Anything can happen, but if New England wants to win they have to protect Tim Brady. If Brady's time is disrupted then Brady will be an innefective quarterback. Tim is used to not have any pressure and that is why he has a higher completion ratio. If Dallas can somehow hassle him all 4 quarters and the Dallas comes in with a dominating offense, then the Dallas COwboys will win. What happened in Buffalo Monday night is just one of those off games that the Cowboys will have once in a while. All teams will have at least one or two during the season. This game will be a major test for both teams, The Cowboys have learned an important lesson and that is to not underestimate any team no matter what the record says. They will bring this philosophy on Sunday afternoon. Cowboys WIN! 31-28

I guess with Romo leading the Cowboys to 2 scores in 20 seconds, including the game winner in Buffalo, we've already settled the dispute of whether he will fold under pressure. That said, the Pats are still a great football team and Brady is undoubtedly the best quarterback playing today, so the odds are with New England. However, I do not believe that it will be a blowout by New England and if they don't bring their A game, they will be in for a nasty shock at Texas Stadium. The Cowboys aren't superbowl contenders yet and I don't believe any team will go undefeated this year. The thing to remember is "Any team can beat any other team on any given weekend." I just hope the Patriots/Cowboys game is as entertaining as the Cowboys/Bills game.

effective this is conceivable. the two communities are probably the #a million seeds of their convention playoffs returned this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. Ignoring the reality that a #a million seed would not assure a win (oh yeah, my Giants beat the two a variety of communities final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and that they have been the #a million seeds then additionally) i will play alongside with your question. except the Cowboys can positioned a lot of rigidity on Brady, like the Giants did, and win the time-of-possession conflict (retaining the Pats O off the sector), that they had lose. even even with the undeniable fact that i think of that the Pats D is susceptible this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, their O is stellar. maximum communities won't be able to win an offensive shoot-out with the Cowboys yet surprisingly much no one can win a variety of against the Pats. So i think of that the Cowboys could have a shot to win yet i could nevertheless %. the Pats.

You say the Patriots slacked a bit, what the HELL do you call it when Tony HOmo threw 4 interceptions in the first half alone. They had their but's handed to them in a nut sack. You were lucky that Dallas had a guy that could kick to give them the win. I just hope that Dallas brings a decent effort durring the Patriots win next week. My prediction next week 41-28 New England. This way here it will be a decent game to watch.

They had an off day and it was still total domination in all phases of the game. The Cowboys have no chance with anything less than a perfect day, I'm betting Romo will fold under the pressure, he would have to play about 1000% better than he played today to even have a chance. The Patriots are elite on both sides of the ball...
Patriots 31, Dallas 17.
