Jaguars Buck Cowboys
By: Pacific Star
As good as the Cowboys might be this year, they will ahve their hands full in Jacksonville today against the Jaguars.
This game between Dallas and Jacksonville has gone from an opening line of the Jaguars -3 to Dallas now being favored by 1!
We believe a great portion of this movement is the public believing some of the preseason hype of the Cowboys being Super Bowl contenders, mainly due to the addition of Terrell Owens. While we believe that Dallas has one of the better defenses in the NFC, we actually expect a slip in Dallas' offensive production.
Drew Bledsoe was basically resurrected from the dead last season and will have a hard time duplicating his production in 2006. Owens only played in one preseason game and it will probably take him a while to get in sync with his QB. The Cowboys' offensive line should also be seriously tested by a fierce Jags' front seven.
Lost in the Colts' quest for an undefeated season was the fact that Jacksonville went 12-4 last season, and did so with starting QB Byron Leftwich missing much of the campaign. The retirement of WR Jimmy Smith will probably actually help the Jag's with Ernest Wilford taking over the #1 receiver slot.
Jacksonville has a very stout defense in their own right as evidenced by allowing just 14.8 per game at home last season. The Jags are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home openers and we expect them to pull away with the victory today.
Play: Jaguars +1
