Pats 28-Boys 21
Dallas will be something of a betting enigma this weekend, a 5-0 team laying more than a field goal at home. But that's what happens when the Patriots come to town. After opening as five-point home underdogs, many are looking at the 'Boys as a tasty bet, especially since they've outscored opponents 80-42 in Dallas this year.
Impressive numbers to be sure. Tantalizing, even. But don't let 'em fool you into thinking Dallas is a good wager.
Why? Well, if you live by the Romo, you die by him too. While he's been lauded for his gunslinging ways, Romo is still rather careless with the football and his decision making leaves a lot to be desired. He's turned the ball over in all but one of Dallas' games this year and is tied for the second-most interceptions in the league with eight.
That's risky business against a Pats team that thrives on takeaways. In its 34-17 closer-than-it-looks victory over Cleveland, New England's defense had three interceptions and a fumble recovery - those takeaways created 21 points. The Pats are tied with Indianapolis for the league lead in turnover differential at plus-seven. The Patriots' defense has forced 11 turnovers (eight interceptions and three fumbles), and the offense has turned it over only four times (two interceptions, two fumbles).
Romo can ill afford to turn the ball over against New England, but his style leads me to believe he won't be able to avoid it. The Pats win games because they win the turnover battles, and this week should be no different.

Well I'm from Dallas as well and without getting into all the trash talking and name calling that football fans typically seem to get into I'm just going to say that I hope it's Dallas. Regardless it's just going to be a great game to watch with 2 5-0 teams playing each other.
True, a lot of people want to say New England because of Romo's 6 personal turnovers last weekend but I say that doesn't mean anything, I can readily admit that Dallas was getting stomped but they still rallied and came back to win it, doesn't matter that it was by 1 point because a win is still a win. Besides, a tight game is more entertaining to watch than a blowout.

Well, I've been a Cowboy fan for 34 years now, so you know what I think. In fact, what I "know!" The Cowboys are going to come out victorious on Sunday!

its gonna be the patriots. 3 of the teams the cowboys have played have a combined record of 1-14 and the patroits are putting up over 35 points a game. The cowboys did a good job of coming back an monday but even having that close of a game against a winless team should not happen

As long as #31 Slow Williams is back there at safety the Cowboys will lose big games. Yeah he's as big hitter.. so what? He gets burned week after week. That said, Brady, Moss and Stallworth are going to have fun this Sunday.

Dallas Cowdoys. Because cowboys running game is like a lot better, you keep the pats offense off the field, they gon get frustrate at some point. then you can win.
