In the wake of New England's 43-0 mercy rule outing in Miami, @SuperBookUSA released Pats undefeated and Dolphins winless odds. Will Patriots go 16-0? Yes: +1000 No: -2000 Will Dolphins go. — Jeff Sherman (@golfodds) October 29, 2019 Considering the Patriots were +750 to go undefeated just three weeks ago, +500 is impressively short odds for a feat that's only been accomplished once in NFL history by the 2007 Patriots. (The Miami Dolphins went undefeated in.
The first Sunday of the 2019 NFL season is in the books, and what a Sunday it was.
We saw a couple of overtime games, a Dallas Cowboys team that looks really dangerous, and a really pathetic performance by the Dolphins, who are reportedly even more of a mess after their 59-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
Oh, and then there was Tom Brady and the Patriots, who looked really darn good while blowing out Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. They should only get better when they add a guy named Antonio Brown to the lineup, too.
There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s dive into some overreactions that might not be that crazy after Sunday’s games.
1. The Dallas Cowboys look Super Bowl ready
Dak Prescott should be getting a big new paycheck any day now, which he deserves, especially after Sunday’s dominant performance agains the New York Giants. Prescott threw for 405, 4 TDs and zero interceptions as the Cowboys rolled to a 35-17 win at home. Ezekiel Elliott ran for 51 yards and a touchdown in his first game back since spending the preseason in Cabo. The defense looked solid, even if the Giants don’t have the best offense in the world. The NFC could very well go through Dallas this year.
2. The Patriots could go undefeated again
Did you see that performance against the Steelers on Sunday night? Forget about the offense, which is incredible and will only get better when AB gets in there. The Patriots’ defense, ranked No. 1 by our Steven Ruiz, is going to be a problem for every team it faces. 16-0 is definitely in play, even with games against the Chiefs, Eagles, Cowboys, and Ravens on the schedule. They are just silly good.
3. The Browns are still the Browns
So yeah, all that offseason hype didn’t pay off in Week 1 for the Browns as they were blown out by the Tennessee Titans at home, 41-13. It was an embarrassing loss in which Baker Mayfield and the Co. looked terrible throughout. Fans even booed them as they went to the locker room for halftime. The Browns are historically one of the worst franchises in all of sports and it will take a lot to shed the bad memories from years past. Can they turn things around? Absolutely. But they better hurry up.
4. Kyler Murray and the Cardinals are gonna be just fine
The No. 1 overall pick in last April’s draft got off to a dreadful start in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions. But then something clicked in the fourth quarter and he was able to rally the team back and force overtime with a late TD and two-point conversion. They then tied the Lions in what was a dreadful result for both teams and for everyone watching. But Murray made some incredible throws down the stretch and his ability to bounce back from a tough start should be a good sign of things to come in the desert.
5. Lamar Jackson is going to be scary good

Jackson put on an absolute show on Sunday, throwing for 324 yards and 5 TDs in Miami. Sure, it was against the hapless Dolphins but they still do have some good players on defense and Jackson made everything look so easy. The Ravens have a franchise quarterback on their hands and he could be one of the greats.
Sunday’s biggest winner: Daniil Medvedev.
Medvedev lost to Rafael Nadal in the US Open final in a five-set thriller on Sunday but his speech following the loss was a thing of absolute beauty. Go give it a watch, because it’s what sports are all about.
