We can tell you the model likes the Patriots to stay perfect at home this season, as New England is beating Dallas in 71 percent of simulations. The Cowboys have lost their last three visits to Foxborough and Tom Brady is 4-0 all-time versus Dallas. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, a darkhorse MVP candidate, could struggle against the NFL's No. 2-ranked pass defense. The Pats allow just 152.6 passing yards per game and lead the NFL with 19 interceptions.
New England has won 17 straight regular-season games at Gillette Stadium. Look for Brady to bounce back from subpar performance last week at Philadelphia and for the Pats to improve to 10-1.
The model also has made the call on Lions vs. Redskins, Jaguars vs. Titans, Seahawks vs. Eagles, Packers vs. 49ers and the rest of the Week 12 NFL games. In fact, the model says several projected nail-biters will actually be blowouts. You can only see all of the model's NFL pool picks at SportsLine.
