Week New England Patriots will play their 11th game of the year later today when they take on the Dallas Cowboys in one of the most anticipated matchups of the week. Until the game gets kicked off at 4:25 pm ET, however, there are nine other games on the menu — with some of them being worth keeping a close eye on. Let’s quickly go through the games to find out who will face off today, and who Patriots fans should be rooting for.
