Pats are around a 7.5 dog this week, with a 4:25 kickoff in Texas.

Pats maybe getting healthier?

I'm gonna pick the Pats to win until they don't. Pats 23-20, with defense holding up on last drive and Dallas missing a long FG.

deep inside Guido territory
Barmore, Godcheaux, JJones, Strange, and Wade are all questionable for tomorrow. Sidy Sow is out of concussion protocol.

For Dallas, Tyron Smith is out while C Tyler Biadisz, TE Peyton Hendershot, and Zach Martin are all questionable.

Hot take: they win Sunday, everyone gets excited, then they lose to the Saints or Raiders and everyone is depressed again.

The Pats defense matches up pretty well with the Cowboys offense. 3 games in and I’m already pretty comfortable with Gonzalez on Lamb. Their o line is banged up. I can see us causing a lot of pressure, I expect to see White chasing Dak relentlessly.
On the other side of the ball I’m terrified. Maybe Zeke has a breakout game. It’s also entirely possible Micah Parsons goes for 5 sacks. I would love to see Mac silence some critics, like myself.

At this point, Jon Jones being out is going to be the bigger issue.

Strange should go to IR, if needed. Unsure if his knee issue is the same from preseason.

Biggest mismatch of the game on paper is Dallas pass rush against NE offensive line.

But the biggest weakness of DAL defense is up the middle against the run so if Zeke can have a big game against his former team, that would negate some of the Dallas pass rush.

Not optimistic given how Dallas will want to show they're not the team that lost to Zona

Feel like we need points off turnovers to have a chance.

Have a bit of a not great feeling about this one. Would be nice if we can get into that familiar position of having the ball late in a one-score game, but I’m not feeling it today. 27-17.

I think the coaches and the kicking game steal this one for the Pats, and Douglas has a breakout. 31-24.

Heard some discussion on the radio this morning about Strange's knee. Apparently back in camp he was told he could go the surgery route or try the non-surgical route. He opted for the latter, but now he may have to go with the former.

I hate Myles Bryant so much. Top 5* most hated player for me.

*I gave no thought to this but it feels right.
