Sunday NFL Showdown: Your FREE Winning Picks Await!!

In a highly anticipated Sunday matchup, the Dallas Cowboys (4-2) are gearing up to return from their bye week as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Rams (3-4). The Cowboys are coming off a resounding rebound, having secured a 20-17 victory over the Chargers in their most recent outing after a demoralizing loss to San Francisco. On the flip side, the Rams have encountered some turbulence lately, with two losses in their last three games, including a 24-17 setback against the Steelers.

Positioned at second place in the NFC East, the Cowboys are eager to maintain their momentum. As for the Rams, they find themselves in the third spot within the NFC West, seeking to regain their footing.

This highly anticipated clash is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys, currently enjoying the favor of oddsmakers, are favored by a 6-point spread, with the over/under set at 45.5 points, according to the SportsLine consensus.

The Cowboys are in a favorable spot, having benefited from a well-timed bye week following their victory over the Chargers in Week 6. Their previous game showcased their resilience, as they clinched a 20-17 win, securing it with 10 fourth-quarter points, including a game-winning field goal with just 2:23 remaining. Star quarterback Dak Prescott delivered his finest performance of the season, amassing 272 passing yards and a crucial touchdown.

The Cowboys' running game, led by the dynamic Tony Pollard, has been a significant asset this season. Pollard has notched 70 rushing yards on three separate occasions, including an impressive 122-yard performance against Arizona last month. So far, he's spearheaded the rushing attack, amassing 370 yards and two touchdowns on 96 carries, maintaining an impressive average of nearly four yards per carry.

On the other hand, the Rams have been grappling with inconsistency, posting a 5-13 record in their last 18 games, including a concerning 2-8 record in their most recent 10 road games.

In our analysis, we foresee the Dallas Cowboys emerging victorious in this matchup by a margin of seven points, effectively covering the 6.5-point spread.

In this highly anticipated New York grudge match, the Jets open as a field goal favorite, designated as the visiting team, and that line has subsequently shifted to -2.5 at select sportsbooks as of Thursday morning.

The Jets are entering this matchup with newfound momentum, having secured an impressive victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. This marked their second consecutive win, and they have been propelled by a formidable defense that has been nothing short of impressive.

Conversely, the Giants had a slow start to the 2023 season but displayed a resurgence against the rival Washington Commanders in their most recent outing. The Giants' aggressive pass rush exploited a vulnerable Commanders offensive line, accumulating six sacks. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor played a pivotal role, throwing for 279 yards and two touchdowns in the 14-7 victory, where they stood as 3-point home underdogs.

According to my NFL power ratings, this game mirrors a 3-point spread. In addition, early betting trends from Covers Consensus reveal that 62% of early picks favor the Jets, marking a growing sentiment as we approach the weekend. However, it's important to note that the Giants continue to contend with various injuries throughout their depth chart.

This New York rivalry hinges on a defensive showdown, with each team seeking to impose its will on the other. Consequently, it comes as no surprise that this matchup boasts the lowest total on the Week 8 board.

Oddsmakers initially set the Over/Under at 36 points, with some early action pushing it up to as high as 37 points at more astute sportsbooks. Notably, Covers Consensus indicates that 62% of bettors are favoring the Under on this relatively low number.

The Jets' defense has been performing commendably, ranking 11th in Defensive DVOA overall. Their defensive strength has been bolstered in recent games, with their offense contributing significantly. Over the past three games, they've placed 10th in EPA allowed per play since Week 4. The Jets have also demonstrated a sturdy run defense, ranking sixth in EPA allowed per handoff. They will face a Giants offense that heavily relied on running back Saquon Barkley in their last outing, handing him the ball 21 times.

As for the Giants, their defensive strategy revolves around an aggressive pass rush. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale has orchestrated blitzes on nearly 42% of dropbacks, marking the third-highest blitz rate in the league. This relentless pressure has resulted in 11 sacks, and Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, in contrast, ranks 37th among all QBs versus the blitz at PFF, completing only 62.5% of passes.

In conclusion, we're leaning toward the Jets to cover the spread, and they are currently priced at -335 to do so. This game promises a gritty defensive battle and a thrilling showdown between New York's football giants.
