00:03 Dallas looks so good.
00:04 Everyone was back on the Cowboys train.
00:06 They're going to the Super Bowl.
00:07 They're winning the NFC and then that FUD against Arizona.
00:10 There's six and a half point favorites this week against New England.
00:12 The total is 43 and a half.
00:16 I know what the outcome will be if Dallas goes up like 14-3, but
00:21 that's really the sauce for New England.
00:22 They just have to stay in the game and then I think they can win in the end.
00:25 >> Yeah, I think they'll keep it close.
00:28 And there's a couple of data points that say that.
00:30 I mean, the Cowboys run defense is giving up 5.3 yards per carry.
00:34 They're gonna look at that, the Patriots, and realize this is our game plan.
00:38 We need to get these guys going.
00:39 Ezekiel, it's gonna have a little bit more extra motivation here behind
00:42 Ramondre Stevenson.
00:43 And I think that's gonna be where the Patriots wanna run offensively.
00:47 And then you also look on the other side.
00:49 What gives the Patriots problems is if you have an extra dimension
00:53 with a running quarterback that's doing things there and
00:56 having multiplicity and diversity in your offense.
00:59 Right now, the Cowboys don't have that.
01:00 Dak Prescott's not running around.
01:02 CeeDee Lamb is the only reliable receiver at this point.
01:05 So that plays in right into Belichick's hands, right?
01:08 They can game plan to take Lamb out of the game, force Dak elsewhere, and
01:12 they can stay in the game offensively with a running game.
01:14 So I think they'll keep it close.
01:15 I really like this number in favor of the Patriots.
01:18 I think it's a very good matchup for them, particularly the way Dallas has played.
01:23 And it's not just looking at what they did in Arizona last week.
