Cowboys vs Patriots

The Dallas Cowboys (+6.5)will host the New England Patriots (-6.5) this weekend at Texas Stadium. This match up could well be a Super Bowl preview to come.
The Dallas Cowboys pulled off a spectacular win over the Buffalo Bills last week, but they also showed signs of weakness. Their defense gave up 6 turnovers along with 3 kick returns for touchdowns. If it wasn’t for kicker Nick Folks making a 53 yard kick, Dallas would’ve lost. QB Tony Romo has thrown for 1508YDS with 13TDs and 8INT. WR Terrell Owens has 21 receptions for 387YDS with 3TDs and RB Marion Barber has 56 carries for 334YDS and 4TDs.
The New England Patriots killed the Cleveland Browns last week 34-17. The Patriots defense caused 4 turnovers and had another game over 30 points. The Patriots O-Line are the best at protecting their quarterback, which gives QB Tom Brady ample time to scan the field for open teammates. Brady’s thrown for 1383YDS with 16TDs and he’s only allowed 2 interceptions. WR Randy Moss is Brady’s main man down the field. He’s got 34 catches for 551YRDS along with 7TDs. RB S.Morris has 75 carries for 370YDS along with 3TDs.
Both teams will be strong with the pass but defense will play the most critical role. The Cowboys will have to play better after a sloppy game against the Browns. The Cowboys are also hoping the home town crowd can be a boost for them. To bet the NFL go to BodogLife now.
