Dallas Cowboys Analysis
The Cowboys started out hot against bad teams but have had a rough time against the tougher teams. The Saints, Packers, and Vikings have gotten the best of them along with a bad loss to the Jets a few weeks ago. Their last win over the Lions should get them on the right track. Dak Prescott threw for 444 yards with 3 touchdowns with two receivers over 100 yards. This matchup will be another test for them in their ability to beat a good team. If they are to make a playoff run, they will need to beat a few in a row.
To beat the Patriots, they need to bring on the offense. The only team that has managed to beat the Patriots this year is the Ravens. The Ravens were able to beat them through scoring 37 points. The Cowboys have an offense capable of overpowering the hot Patriots’ defense, they just need to play mistake-free. If Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are on their game, they have the ability to run any game out of the water.

New England Patriots Analysis
The Patriots are coming off a solid win against the Eagles. They have bounced back nicely after suffering their first loss of the season to the Ravens in Week 9. They had a nice double pass from Tom Brady to Julian Edelman to Phillip Dorsett to get their one offensive touchdown to put them over the edge. Besides that, they weren’t very effective on the offensive front. Brady threw for 214 yards and they totaled just 74 rushing yards. They had three drives capped of with field goals which was enough to slide passed the Eagles.
They have a big game this week against the Cowboys. The Patriots currently sit with two game lead over the Bills for first place in the AFC East, but if they want to remain in first place in the whole AFC, a win here would be crucial. The Ravens sit one game behind them for the number one seed in the playoffs. To beat the Cowboys, their defense will need to be locked down. The Cowboys rolled all over the Lions last week which can’t happen to the Patriots. They will also need to get their receivers going. James White could play a critical role out of the backfield in the passing game.

Daily Fantasy: Dak Is Back
I believe that Dak Prescott’s momentum will be too much for the Patriots’ defense this week. With option all around the field in Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Randall Cobb, and Ezekiel Elliott, he is virtually impossible to stop. It will be interesting to see how the Patriots plan to stop him, but even if the Patriots are able to win this game, Prescott should have a good game. After a 400+ yard game, I can’t imagine that he will be limited to under 250 yards. Expect a couple of touchdowns as well from some big plays.
