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.

Patriots 42
Cowboys 17
Tony Romo threw 5 interceptions against the 31st ranked pass defense in the league. He looks a little more like Rex Grossman every week. He hasn't faced a pass defense yet that was ranked better than 20th. So we'll see what he does against the #1 ranked defense in the league.

Not even much of a game. New England will dominate the Cowboys and win easily, 34-17.

I hope the Cowboys beat the Patriots. I think when Dallas is playing good, they don't recieve the respect they deserve.

There should be a contest on which question has been asked the most between the green dot question and the Cowboys/Patriots question

Good God I hope it's a nail biter like Dallas' game against the Bills! That was awesome!
However, I have the Pats winning by 10 points.

After watching the pathetic performance of Tony Romo on Monday night, I think he is gonna be very eager to play great but I don't think his best will beat the Patriots. I hate the Patriots (cheatin' bastards)!!!
