Jets vs Cowboys Prediction

The Cowboys’ defense is a concern, as you can argue they’re the worst defense in the league through four games. However, the Jets don’t have the explosive offense to scare anybody, as they’re extremely limited through the air and the ground game is only effective when the score is close. The Jets are also undisplaced in terms of penalties, and they’re -7 in the turnover margin, which is the worst in the league.

The Jets are not only a bad team, but they beat themselves as well. I get the Cowboys have defensive issues and the offense won’t have CeeDee Lamb for another week, but this line is soft. The Jets are getting respect they don’t deserve. Give me the Cowboys and the surprisingly small chalk.
