Going to keep this relatively simple: The Cowboys are going to be a lot more dangerous on offense this year than they were last, now that they are healthy. As usual, they bolster a thin offensive line, but for now it should be solid enough. Felix Jones, Miles Austin and Dez Bryant combine to form a dangerous trio of offensive playmakers and Tony Romo is more than capable of utilizing these guys to form a potent offense. The question you have to ask yourself here is this: Is it likely that tonight this unit is ready to take on the task that is the New York Jets defense? My answer to that would be no.
On the other end of the field the Cowboys defense is a bit tricky to gauge. There is some talent in the front-seven, but not overwhelmingly so. Demarcus Ware is as good of a defensive player as there is in the league, but after him there really isn't anyone you are scared of. With a brilliant offensive line, a powerful young RB, astute, improving young QB with some receiving weapons....this is exactly the type of cohesive unit the Cowboys and their new defensive schemes want no part of early in the season.
The Jets are now laying 6 points, which I am not entirely comfortable with against an offense that is as explosive as the Cowboys and with Demarcus Ware on the other side. That said, Revis Island should keep one of Austin/Bryant locked up and the other will need Romo to be on to avoid Cromartie from making some plays. Leaning Jets, will make another post by 15 minutes to kick if I decide to make it official.
3-1 start to the day, let's sweep the board getting both my favorite team (Giants) and today's best bet (Panthers) home.
