3 Bold Predictions for the Patriots Against the Cowboys

Week 12's slate of NFL fixtures features no shortage of compelling matchups and the showdown between the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys seems destined to deliver theatrics.

When two of the league's most storied franchises meet, a few outlandish storylines almost always seem to grab headlines. With that in mind, let's highlight three bold predictions that will steal the show.

3. More Than 45 Points Will Be Scored

When you consider the forecast (torrential rain) in Foxborough for late Sunday afternoon, some might presume that the game will be a low-scoring affair. Well, we're here to tell you that Dak Prescott and Tom Brady will overcome Mother Nature. Expect both the Cowboys and Patriots to break the 20-point mark in this one, folks. Dallas' offense has been unstoppable of late and their defense hasn't been able to stop a nosebleed. Points will be scored.

2. Rookie N'Keal Harry Records 100 Receiving Yards

Julian Edelman, Phillip Dorsett, and Mohamed Sanu were limited in practice on Friday, folks. It's expected that Edelman will suit up, but the status of Dorsett and Sanu is very much in question and trending towards not playing. That opens the door WIDE open for Harry to make a statement in his second-career NFL game. There's a reason Bill Belichick selected the Arizona State product in the first-round (32 overall) this past April. Expect Harry to blow up on Sunday with over 100 yards receiving and maybe a touchdown to boot.

1. Dallas Wins By More Than A Touchdown

Yes, the Cowboys haven't won a game in 2019 against a perennial contender, and yes, the Cowboys have failed to defeat team combatting injuries to key injuries, but that narrative will change on Sunday. Expect Tom Brady and Co. to put up points, but not enough to keep up with a scorching hot Dak Prescott.
