New England Patriots vs Dallas Cowboys
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
New England Patriots vs Dallas Cowboys is an inter-conference matchup: the AFC Patriots hosting the NFC Cowboys. This projects as a coin flip, 43-57 with the spread at DAL -1.
Tactically, New England Patriots will want to lean on tough new coach to attack Dallas Cowboys, whose run game is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Dallas Cowboys's game-wrecking edge could punish New England Patriots if offensive line goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.
Keep an eye on Drake Maye (QB) and Dak Prescott (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Patriots at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
