How it plays out

New York Jets vs Dallas Cowboys is an inter-conference matchup: the AFC Jets hosting the NFC Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys are favored at 67% (DAL -2.5), yet New York Jets's 33% says this is no walkover.

Tactically, New York Jets will want to lean on lockdown corner to attack Dallas Cowboys, whose playoff demons is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Dallas Cowboys's explosive passing could punish New York Jets if coaching reset goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Aaron Glenn and Brian Schottenheimer, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Garrett Wilson (WR) and Dak Prescott (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Jets at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
