I guess that depends on which team performs. The only guarantee will be after the time runs out Sunday. Gonna be a great game and I hope my Cowboys come out on top.

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.

New England is the better team on paper (best in the NFL). But, you have to play the games.
On the Patriots' schedule, the only remaining teams that have a legitimate shot at defeating them are Dallas, Indy, and Pittsburgh. This will be their first real test against a good team - they amassed their 5-0 record against teams with a collective 7 and 17 record. Then again, Dallas' opponents have gone a collective 6 and 19.
The intangible that compels me to pick Dallas is last week's near disaster against the Bills. It was a classic trap game and they somehow managed to pull out the win. Romo will have learned a lot and the whole team will come out with a renewed intensity. They're also at home and the fans will be into the game.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Dallas by a field goal.

I think you know the answer yourself. It's clear that Dallas will run into a brick wall this Sunday, and will lose the game by double digits. NE seem determined to get big leads and even bigger leads to avoid any comebacks. It will happen again. NE 34 DAL 17

Well lets see if Romo can hold his interceptions down to less than one the cowboys will still lose but only by 20 or so..
