NFL Saturday game: Jets-Cowboys preview

 
Published Dec. 19, 2015

Tonight: Jets at Cowboys, 8:25, NFL

Line/OU: Jets by 3½; 41½

The game features the NFL's top three touchdown catchers since 2012 in Dez Bryant, Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. The Jets are in a precarious fight for an AFC wild-card berth (and host the Patriots next week), while the Cowboys are still alive in the NFC East only by very generous math. During a three-game win streak, the Jets' Ryan Fitzpatrick has 930 yards with nine TDs, no interceptions and a 111.5 passer rating; the Cowboys have scored more than one touchdown just twice in Matt Cassel's six starts (1-5). Cowboys LB Rolando McClain is out (concussion), and CB Morris Claiborne is doubtful (hamstring).

Tom Jones' pick: Cowboys 21, Jets 17
