Carolina Panthers at Dallas Cowboys (-4) | 1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX

The Cowboys’ formula is working. They’ve produced an excellent offense and a defense that has been competent and opportunistic. Dak Prescott might be the most accurate quarterback in the NFL right now. It’s stunning and rare when he just flat-out misses a throw. Prescott is completing 77.5 percent of his passes, which is the third-best mark for a quarterback through three games in the past 10 years. If you prefer advanced stats, Prescott is second in completion percentage above expectation. Watching Dallas’ offense against a Panthers defense that is loaded with young talent is going to be fun.

Sam Darnold has looked far more comfortable with the Panthers than he ever did with the Jets, but he still is good for a few head-scratching decisions each week and has four fumbles in three games. I think Dallas’ offense plays well again and its defense forces a couple turnovers.

The pick: Cowboys (-4)

If I am not mistaken, I heard that Dak is like 1st in getting the ball out fast. Which can be good against an efficient pass rush. However, the fact that we have multiple different guys dropping back and you don't know who that is, getting the ball out too fast can be costly. I think Dak has to hold the ball longer than he wants too and we continue our 4 sacks a game.

Cowboys are better than the Saints. I just think everyone needs to know this is a great Cowboys team. I can’t stand them but damn if Dak is healthy with all the weapons they’re hard to beat.

I think he's 2nd and yes that makes it challenging to get to him.  I think our coverage has to be disguised enough to prevent him from being able to know exactly where the ball needs to go, make him hesitate just enough...

We also run a unique defensive scheme, one that Dak hasn't seen before in the NFL.  He had one day less to prepare for our defense than a normal week.
