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.

I'd like the Cowboys to win because they are one of only three teams who have a chance, and none of those a very good one, though I don't think a lot of people realize how good the Patriots are this year. This isn't the Colts teams of the last 3 years, this team makes those teams look like a joke. By the end of the year they have a legitament chance of being both #1 on offense and defense, we really havn't seen a team like this in the modern era.
Even if the Patriots don't play their best, if the Cowboys don't play perfect, they lose.

The Patriots because I hate the Cowboys. I always have and always will. The Cowgirls defintely aren't americas team either.
I can't wait for the cowgirls to have a loss so we don't have to listen to all the bandwagon fans anymore that come out of the closet when the cowgirls are doing okay.

patriots beacause tom brady with a 4 man spread passing game is unstoppable... with randy moss, wess welker, donta stallworth, and ben watson, the cowboys dont have enough cb's and safeties to cover them all. and marooney is good.... the cowboys may score but they wont beat the patriots defense. with tedy bruschi and rodney harrison and asante samuel and mike vrabel and richard seymour the pats' defense is great..
PATRIOTS ALL THE WAY

I don't have a dog in that fight. I'm hoping for a good physical game.
