New England Patriots at Dallas Cowboys Betting Preview
In Week 4 of the National Football League, the New England Patriots are embarking on a journey to face off against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Patriots‘ season thus far has been marked by a 1-2 record, featuring losses to the Philadelphia Eagles and the Miami Dolphins, alongside a triumphant road victory over the New York Jets in the previous week. Currently, the Patriots share the third position in the AFC East standings with the Jets.
On the other side of the field, the Dallas Cowboys boast a 2-1 season record, with victories in their first two games followed by a recent defeat on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Dallas Cowboys are -7 in this game at home against New England.
Patriots Searching for Offense
Within the realm of the National Football League, the New England Patriots find themselves ranked amongst the lower echelons in offensive prowess.
Delving into the stats, it becomes apparent that the Patriots are mustering a mere 17.3 points per game. The deficiency doesn’t stem from a lack of yardage gained but rather from their struggles in reaching the end zone. On average, the Patriots are moving the football for over 240 yards per game.
Mac Jones, the Patriots’ quarterback, has registered five touchdowns while conceding two interceptions this season. Furthermore, he’s faced the unwelcome embrace of the opposing defense on six occasions.
Leading the charge in Jones’ target roster is Kendrick Bourne, who boasts 14 receptions and 139 yards along with two touchdowns. Adding to the receiving artillery, Hunter Henry has also tallied two touchdowns for the Patriots.
In the rushing department, Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott have collectively accrued 256 yards but managed just one touchdown. The Patriots are earnestly hoping for a resolute performance from Elliott, who will be facing his former teammates in this matchup.
Cowboys Want to Bounce Back
Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys eagerly anticipate the return of their erstwhile running back, Elliott. The Cowboys made the decision to part ways with him, favoring the utilization of Tony Pollard, a strategy that has yielded positive results.
Pollard spearheads an offense that averages 147 rushing yards per game, ranking them 8th in the league. On the defensive front, the Cowboys have been steadfast, allowing a mere 12.7 points per game, which positions them third in the league.
Taking a peek at the Cowboys‘ upcoming schedule, they are slated for consecutive road games after this matchup. First, they will face off against the San Francisco 49ers, followed by a clash with the Los Angeles Chargers.
