Preview:
With the way the NFC is shaping up, who’s to say this isn’t a potential Super Bowl preview?
The scoreboard didn’t do the Cowboys any justice last week in their 35-27 win over the Lions. It was close to a career-high day for quarterback Dak Prescott completing 29 of his 46 passes for 444-yards and three touchdowns, while Michael Gallup and Randall Cobb also cleaned up with 100-yards each.
Not to be outdone, the Patriots came through with a win of their own on the road in Philadelphia. The Pats weren’t quite as impressive on the stat sheet, but New England’s defence once again did the talking as the reigning champs got their revenge for Super Bowl 52.
So, what does all that say about this week’s blockbuster from Foxboro?
If you’re a diehard Dallas fan, you might already know the last time the Cowboys won against the Patriots away from home was back in 1987.
You might also know that since then, the Patriots have recorded five-straight wins over the Cowboys, the most of recent of which came in a 30-6 blowout back in 2015.
Of course, the past means nothing, and to be honest, the Cowboys offence looks a step above New England’s right now. Dak Prescott is probably the MVP if Lamar Jackson didn’t exist, while Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys’ B-grade list of receivers (outside of Amari Cooper) continue to make plays.
Dallas simply needs to find a way to exploit the Patriots’ defence, which the Eagles accomplished at certain times last week.
Make no mistake, this will be an enormous test of Jason Garrett and Kellen Moore’s playcalling ability. The thing is, both coaches have failed to find any creativity in big games against top opponents.
Only a fortnight ago the Cowboys managed to botch a win against the Vikings at home. The sky was seemingly falling following that result, just like it was when the Cowboys loss to the Packers in Week 5 and the Jets in Week 6.
Tom Brady was furious following last week’s game about his, and his teammates, performance on offence. We’ve seen the Patriots respond time and time again over the last decade following a flat game the week before, so this one could get ugly.
Odds:
Tip: New England Patriots at $1.34
Value Tip: First Try Scorer: Julian Edelman at $10.00
