Can New York Grab a Win on the Road?
The Jets’ season commenced with them taking on the Bills, leading to a 22-16 win. Heading into the game, the Jets were 2.5-point underdogs. With the straight-up win, they also covered the spread.
New York’s offense produced a total of 289 yards against the Bills. When it came to third downs, the Jets had a conversion rate of 38.5%. The leading rusher for the Jets was Breece Hall with 127 yards, and Zach Wilson contributed 140 passing yards while checking in for Aaron Rodgers — who sustained a season-ending injury.
Defensively, the Jets picked off the Bills three times while giving up 217 passing yards. Additionally, the rush defense allowed 97 yards on 22 attempts.
Can Dallas Live Up to the Hype at Home?
To begin the season, the Cowboys hit the road to take on the Giants, resulting in a 40-0 win. The Cowboys covered the spread, as they were favored by 3 against the Giants.
Versus the Giants, the Cowboys turned to the run 30 times, and it was Tony Pollard who led the way with 70 yards. Meanwhile, Dak Prescott finished with 24 pass attempts, resulting in 143 yards and a passer rating of 72.
Dallas’ defense recorded two interceptions against the Giants and surrendered 63 passing yards overall. The rush defense also gave up 108 yards on 28 carries.
Cowboys vs. Jets Player Prop
In this week 2 matchup, Tony Pollard will be facing the Jets with a rushing yards prop of 70.5. Betting on the over yields a payout of -117, while the under pays at -115. The implied odds for the over are 54%.
Tony Pollard is currently 8th among running backs in rushing attempts this season, accumulating 70 yards so far. As he enters this week’s game, his average yards per carry stands at 5. I believe the under is the best bet for this prop. I expect Pollard and the Cowboys’ offense to struggle in the running game against the Jets’ defense.
The Prop: Tony Pollard Under 70.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Cowboys VS. Jets Predictions
From the time the lines were first released, Dallas has transitioned from -3.5 point favorites to their current line of -9 (-110).
For this matchup, even though I’m expecting the Cowboys to win, I see the Jets’ defense being able to keep it closer than expected. I like New York vs. the spread as the underdog while catching more than a touchdown.
