Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Jets Pick
Spread Pick for Cowboys vs. Jets
- Dallas Cowboys -140 (4 units)
These are two incomplete football teams, but the Dallas Cowboys have shown more promise throughout the first quarter of the season. They played the Green Bay Packers tough last week and continue to look like one of the most impressive offensive teams in the league. The Jets have not played a game where they have started off strong offensively since Week 1, so expecting that feels like a stretch. With a shaky defensive showing that struggled and has a short week after playing on Monday night, go with the Dallas Cowboys to go on the road and defeat the New York Jets.
Over/Under Pick for Cowboys vs. Jets
- OVER 47.5 (4 units)
Neither defense has shown the ability to get stops and force punts on a semi-consistent basis. Both teams allow the opponent to extend drives as Dallas is allowing teams to go 32-of-55 (58.18%) on third downs so far while New York is giving up 17-of-49 (34.69%) against them this far. Expect to see a lot of points early on and the Jets to score late, which seems to be their formula when down big. All in all, go with OVER 47.5 POINTS here.
