With the New England Patriots taking on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12, here are three bold predictions that will occur in the game for the Patriots.
Entering Week 12 of the 2019 regular season, the New England Patriots remain atop the league standings in the second half of the year. For a majority of the year, the Patriots have been one of the best, if not the best, team throughout the NFL while falling in just one of their first 10 contests up to this point in the season schedule.
With six weeks remaining in the regular season before the postseason officially kicks off in the 2019 campaign, New England will look to remain atop the AFC standings and NFC layout before taking part in the win-or-go home playoff games in a half-dozen weeks.
Entering the Week 12 slate of games around the NFL, the Patriots will be faced with another tough matchup against an NFC opponent when the Dallas Cowboys come to town to face off against the defending Super Bowl Champions.
New England will host America’s Team on Sunday evening at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, a place where the Patriots have been tough to face so far this season.
New England enters the game coming off of a 17-10 victory on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11 on Sunday Night Football, bouncing back after falling for the first time of the season in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens on the road.
Going into the game against the Cowboys, the Patriots sit atop the AFC East and AFC standings through 11 weeks of play, holding a record of 9-1 overall on the year while going 1-1 in the last two games.
New England remains ahead of the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins in the AFC East division, looking to be en route to claiming yet another divisional title here in 2019.
On the other end of the field, Dallas will come into the game on Sunday afternoon in Foxborough riding a 6-4 record following a 35-27 win over the Detroit Lions last Sunday in Detroit. The Cowboys, who have won three of their last four games, are currently in first place in the NFC East division ahead of the Eagles, New York Giants and Washington Redskins in the standings.
Before New England and Dallas square off in what will be an entertaining showdown in Week 12 on Sunday, let’s made three bold predictions for the Patriots in the contest while they try to win their second straight game.
