Jacksonville Jaguars at Dallas Cowboys Overview
Jacksonville Jaguars
In what was perceived to be a potential AFC Championship match-up, the Jaguars lost at Arrowhead Stadium by considerable margins to the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 30-14. The Jags came in as a field goal underdog. Chiefs signal caller Patrick Mahomes threw for 313 yards through the air but failed to find the end zone. The pivotal difference maker was an interception by Chiefs defensive back Chris Jones which put Kansas City out to a 20-0 lead.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys come into this contest off a loss on Monday Night Football that saw Dallas fall by a field goal in overtime against the Houston Texans. The Battle of Texas was a tight-knit affair, though the Cowboys had a fair amount of support in NRG Stadium they still came up on the losing end against Jacksonville’s divisional rival.
Reasons to Back Dallas
It is a rare instance to see Dallas offered with points at home given the fact they have one of the most significant home field advantages perhaps in all of the NFL. This is a by-product of the market reacting to Dallas looking mediocre on Monday Night Football against a Houston Texans team that has not won a game yet in regulation this season. The stock in Dallas is low which curates a buy-low opportunity for us.
Reasons to Avoid Jacksonville
The hype and hoopla behind the Jacksonville Jaguars as a potential Super Bowl team can cause takers here to be laying points on the road to a team that has yet to lose a game on its own field. Furthermore, the value in this market has already been driven out albeit the line has risen by 1.5-points already to indicate heavy steam on the Jaguars. Avoiding an overlay is an excellent reason to avert placing a bet on the Jags here.
