Two of the NFL’s most polarizing teams face off on Sunday as the Dallas Cowboys (4-1) face the New England Patriots (2-3). A recent poll ranked both teams in the NFL’s top three most loved teams while still being in the top three most hated, so everyone seems to have an opinion. Their historic success and 11 Super Bowls combined probably play a part in the reactions they get as fans across the country anxiously await Patriots vs Cowboys.
Kick-off is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. Dallas is a 3.5 point favorite in the latest Cowboys vs Patriots odds by Caesars Sportsbook. The over / under for the total points scored is 50.5. In some markets, Sunday’s game can be seen live on CBS and streamed live on Paramount + with their must-have Premium package.

NFL Week 6 pick for Cowboys vs. Patriots
Before you tune into Sunday’s Patriots vs Cowboys game, you should see the NFL picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up nearly $ 7,900 per 100 players on the NFL’s top picks since its inception over six years ago. Last season, he made 24-14 on the NFL’s top picks, grossing over $ 800. The model also enters Week 6 of the 2021 season on an incredible 125-83 run on the NFL’s top picks stretching back to the 2017 season.
The model has also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on NFL direct picks and has beaten over 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that time. Whoever followed him is very high.
For Cowboys vs Patriots, the model backs New England (+3.5) to cover. Dallas is one of two NFL teams to never defeat the Patriots under Bill Belichick, with a 0-5 record. The teams met just two years ago and New England blocked Dallas from reaching the end zone as they won 13-9. Dak Prescott’s passer rating in this contest of 64.2 is the lowest in his last 41 games.
While the Cowboys offense has improved this year and is one of the best in the league, Belichick knows how to craft a game plan to slow down high scoring teams. He did so two weeks ago in the reunion game against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, when Tampa scored just 19 points, about half of the 37 average points in their other four games.
As a home underdog under Belichick, New England are 15-4 (79%) ATS. The model recognizes his team’s success against the favorites and Belichick’s previous success against the Cowboys. Dallas is held nearly 10 points below its scoring average, as the Patriots’ defense contains explosive Cowboy-less Dallas receivers exceeding 65 receiving yards. These are all reasons the model supports the Patriots (+3.5) to cover almost 60% of the sims.
