New York Jets at Dallas Cowboys odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Jets (1-0) visit the Dallas Cowboys (1-0) on Sunday with kickoff from AT&T Stadium set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jets vs. Cowboys, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

New York pulled out a 22-16 OT win againstthe Buffalo Bills despite losing starting QB Aaron Rodgers to injury after just 4 snaps of action. Backup QB Zach Wilson played just well enough for the Jets as he completed 67% of his passes (14 of 21) for 140 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT.

What propelled New York to the win was its play on defense and in the run game. RB Breece Hall shined in his return from injury, totaling 127 yards on 10 carries. New York’s defense forced Bills QB Josh Allen to commit 4 turnovers and racked up 5 sacks and 8 tackles for loss as a team.

Dallas stunned the NFL world with a 40-0 rout of the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. Similarly to New York, the defense shined for the Cowboys. QB Dak Prescott completed just 13 of 24 of his passes (54%) for 143 yards and RB Tony Pollard ran for 70 yards and 2 TDs on 14 carries.

Dallas’ defense scored on a blocked FG return and an interception return while also forcing 3 turnovers, 7 sacks, and 10 tackles for loss as a team.

Jets at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 21, Jets 17

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cowboys should pick up the win, but as (-450) favorites the line is not worth the juice. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN JETS +9 (-110).

I expect this to be a low-scoring game that is headlined by running backs and defense for both teams, which will make it easier for the Jets to keep this game close. I expect New York to do as much as they can to hide Wilson and not force him to do much. If Wilson can play similarly to the way he did last week, the Jets will be able to keep this a 1-possession game.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 38.5 (-110).

I am expecting Wilson to have a lot of trouble throwing the football as the Cowboys have likely the best CB duo in the NFL with Trevon Diggs and Stephon Gilmore. The Cowboys’ offense didn’t look phenomenal despite their lopsided Week 1 win, and I expect the Jets’ defensive line to give the ‘Boys problems with both their pass rush and run stuffing abilities.
