NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Jets vs. Cowboys

New York Jets vs. Dallas Cowboys

With Aaron Rodgers out for the rest of the season, the Jets will struggle offensively. However, their defense remains amongst the best in the NFL, which will carry them through the rest of this season. Remember, last season, they only allowed 18.6 points per game.

Despite the Cowboys demolishing the New York Giants 40-0 on Sunday night, their offense didn’t do all that much. They racked up just 265 yards of total offense, as the defense scored 14 of the team’s 40 points. 

The Cowboys’ run defense struggled early, and the Jets could try to take advantage of that on Sunday. If they do, that will really slow this game down and bleed a lot of clock. The Jets’ offense averaged just 17.4 points per game a season ago, and we expect them to be under that average on Sunday. Combine that with their defense, and we may see a 20-17, or perhaps even lower, final score.

Pick: Under 28 Points (+395)

What is Betting Against the Spread?

Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.

What is an Over/Under Bet?

Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.

What is a Moneyline Bet?

A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
