BookMaker has the Dallas Cowboys listed as 6.5-point favorites at home against the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon in week 4 of the NFL season. New England has won six of the last eight and two of the last three games while the Cowboys are 2-1 ATS in the last three games in the series. New England is 1-2 ATS overall, 1-0 ATS on the road, and 0-2 ATS as an underdog this season while the Dallas Cowboys are 2-1 ATS overall, 1-0 ATS at home, and 2-1 ATS as a favorite on the year.

Dallas is the more talented team this season and I look for them to come out motivated following their loss in week 3. The Cowboys have been the better team at covering the spread most recently in the series, going 2-1 ATS in the last three games, and have been the better team at covering the spread this season going 2-1 ATS overall while the Patriots are 1-2 ATS overall I look for those trends to continue in week 4 of the NFL season when the New England Patriots travel to take on the Dallas Cowboys which is why I am buying the .5 point and taking the Dallas Cowboys -6 on BookMaker.
