Just seeing what your opinions on the game, how it will go, and which Cowboys/Romo will show up. If you don't know, both teams are undefeated. Patriots coming off a 34-17, I think, win over the Browns and the Cowboys barely pulling off a win on Monday night vs. Buffalo, 25-24, Romo with 5 picks and a fumble.

I am just hoping that this isn't a preview of Super Bowl...I would have to drink a lot of beer to enjoy that game!

I dreamed about it last night...Belichick had 6 illegal filming crews planted in Buffalo, and has figured out what was confusing Romo, and how to duplicate it. Romo has 8 picks and 2 fumbles...NE 63, 'Boys 3, and a big smile on my face.

More probably, NE by 10, with a somewhat smaller, but still quite large smile on my face...

I was shocked to see NE as only a 4 1/2 pt favorite in this game. I just don't see how the 'boys will be able to stop Brady and Co. I think it will be a high scoring game with NE winning by 10 (at least).

As a Cowboys fan, I expect New England to win, but wouldn't at all be surprised to see Dallas win a close one because it is at home. Neither team has played the toughest of opponents, so difficult to judge how big of a gap there is between the two.

Yes, I am a Cowboy homer but I don't see NE getting it done against the Cowboy Defense. I expect a Cowboy victory at home 38-17. I also expect a Cyclone victory too so I may be dipping hard into my Bud Dry reserve. Anyone going to a Des Moines sports bar to watch the game on Sunday. I have a feeling it will be a playoff type atmosphere since it is definitely the most hyped game so far this year? I might try"The Game" as it is smoke free and close to home.

On the road...
Got to take my Boyz of course. 35-31. T.O. has 2 TDs. Romo throws for over 285 and 3 TDs. DeMarcus Ware has 2 sacks and a TD. Alright so that is what I am hoping for. This very well could be a preview of the Super Bowl and it should be a great game. The Cowboys keys are obviously not turning the ball over like last week. I believe that the Pats have to get the running game going to go along with the passing game to get the win. On paper the Pats look better on defense but, they haven't played the best of offensive teams. Jets O is horrible. Bills O is horrible. They played the Chargers O when Rivers and LT couldn't find their own asses. Cincy used to be good and Cleveland is getting better. I'm not saying their defense isn't great but they aren't the #1, like it says on paper. Either way this should be a great game. GO COWBOYS!!

Cowboys will run the ball a lot more back at home and Romo will stay much more composed. NE will have some big plays, I home Ellis Hobbs does something big, but still want my 'Boys to get that W. I predict Dallas 31 New England 23.

As much as it pains me to say it(I hate both teams with a passion)I want Dallas to win, if only to silence all the talk about the amazing (in other words, cheating) Patriots. But, with my luck, New England will win it.

I personally don't even think Dallas has a chance. The Patriots look better than they have the last 5 years, which is saying A LOT.

With the sophisticated Patriot cheating machine, er...offense, I expect Tom "love em' and leave em'" Brady will have a good game and Tony "don't call me Rex" Romo will implode. Patriots by two TDs.

Man...this one definitely has me nervous. Not only playing a great football team that has been in a TON of big games...but playing 'em after an exhausting (physically and emotionally) MNF game in which Romo looked like Bledsoe too often.

I'd say this is Romo's first real pressure game after that Seattle playoff game where he dropped the snap on what would've been a sure field goal and win. So far he's responded well to that and even responded well to the turnover barrage on Monday. But there's no room for error now.

It would be real swell to see more Marion Barber - I think we're gonna need his style of running the ball against this defense. Perhaps that's why Jones played most of the game Monday night (which perplexed me), keeping Barber fresh.

I can't and won't pick in this one. It should be a great game...hopefully one that lives up to the hype.

I want Barber to have 3 TD's, Brady to have 3 TD's and the 'Boys to win.

-keep.
