Both teams are 5-0, both teams have great QBs and WRs. Who will win? They both seem pretty well matched on paper, but will it be the Patriots defensive that wins this game, their offense? The same can be said for the Cowboys. What's your pick and why?

I think the Pats will blow Dallas out. Here's why...
Jason Witten has more receptions (29) than any TE this season, and more than most wide outs. To put that into perspective, he's picked up more than 25% of Romo's yards and about 1/3 of his completions. The Bills keyed in on Witten on Monday night and capitalized on Romo's attempts to him. This resulted in 3 INTs which were intended for Witten. That's half of Romo's turnovers from Monday.
The Bills kept Romo under pressure and lured him into thinking that Witten was open, fully intending to cause turnovers. Romo would look at Witten and a Bills defender, watching Romo's eyes would run to intercept. It worked 3 times on Monday, and if you think Belichick isn't going to cash those chips in this upcoming Sunday, I think you'll be quite surprised.
I expect at least 2 or 3 interceptions "intended for Jason Witten" on Sunday, especially because T.O. will be under converage by Asante Samuel. New England is #2 against the run, which will force Dallas through the air for most of the day.
2 or 3 turnovers against the Patriots is a recipe for 2 or 3 scores by a dynamic offense led by an experienced and proven quarterback.
I think the Pats will rout the Cowboys by at least 21.
Patriots 41, Dallas 17

People are talking about the Pats being the better team as if they have played teams with winning records. I'm not saying that the Cowboys have had a difficult schedule but looking at the combined records of the teams that both the Cowboys and Pats have played it is 7-17 (Pats) and 6-19 (Cowboys). Needless to say that both teams have played against weak teams. One thing that has to be factored in is that the Cowboys will have home field and that they have 80 points in their 2 home games this season. On the other hand, the Pats have 72 points in their 2 road games. The way I see it is, it's going to be a closer game than what people think. I predict that it won't be a high scoring game, maybe a 4-6 point differential with both scores being in the 20's. I do see the Cowboys coming out on top when the final whistle blows.
In response to what thunder029 said about how the Bills contained Witten. If you were able to come up with that analysis, don't you think that the Cowboys coaching staff were able to do the same? With that in mind, the Cowboys will find another "Go To" man for the pass. The Cowboys not only have a potent recieving corp, they have 2 punnishing rushers in Jones and Barber (who can also catch out of the backfield). Again, I say that it will be a closer game than what everyone thinks, with the Cowboys getting the "W" and the Pats getting the "L".

This sunday begins the losing streak for the Cowboys. (i despise the Patriots) but they will win. Then it will be a long out of control losing streak for the 'boys' because all of a sudden they have to play teams that are much better than them.None of the 0-5 or 1-5 teams they just played. So I hope you guys had your barrel of laughs on the bandwagon, because it will be a long rest of the season.

Hold on the Cowgirls are no where near as good as the Patriots. On defensive or offense. New England is going to beat them by at leased 14 points. And that's the way I see it.

Great question! I never in a million years would have thought someone would ask this so early in this week.
I predict a game that beats the over/under, and one that will be discussed plenty on Sunday night and Monday next week. Everyone will talk about how it might be a match up of this season's SuperBowl. The winner of the game will be sitting high.
Cowboys by 52.

If the Cowboys play like they did in Buffalo they will get waxed by N.E. But, even if they play their best, I still so see them beating the Patriots.
