Prediction:
The Patriots have two rough road games in a row playing in Dallas and then Indy. But when the schedules were released, a big question was whether the Pats would have Brady for this contest. Now Dallas is not only short Dez Bryant but Tony Romo as well.

This should be a good entertaining matchup, Dallas is trying to get back on the winning track at home and the place should be very loud. They’ll lean on their running game to keep the Patriots off-balance and take some deep shots down the field.

But Brady should be able to pass on this secondary, the pass rush with Hardy and Gregory should make it interesting but Gronkowski will have a big day. In the end the Patriots get a late turnover and leave town 4-0. Patriots 31-21
