To this point, the 2022 NFL regular season has been one that has delivered a pretty solid share of surprises. As we head into the final few weeks of the season, you have to wonder if we are going to see a few more upsets before we find out which 14 teams will be heading into the postseason. 4 weeks is not a lot of time for the teams sitting below the playoff line, but it is enough for there to be a shakeup and a change in how the final seedings look. Every game takes on a whole new level of pressure, even for the teams that are out of the running given that draft order is also on the line. The Dallas Cowboys are going to be playoff bound, but they have a tricky one ahead of them this weekend with a trip to Jacksonville to face a Jags team that appears to be turning a corner. Dallas is a 4-point road favorite, with the point total set at 48 ½.

Why bet on the Dallas Cowboys

All season long, the Cowboys have been trying to run down a Philadelphia Eagles team that simply refuses to lose. Dallas has 10 wins on the season, which would be enough to have them on top in the majority of the divisions in the NFL, yet they are still 2 wins behind the Eagles in the race for the East. For Dallas, it’s all about continuing to grind out wins and nabbing a seeding that will give them at least one home game in the playoffs. They head to Jacksonville this weekend on a 4-game win streak that they kept alive with a gritty win over the struggling Texans this past weekend. The Cowboys have covered in 8 of their last 12 games overall and are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games. The OVER has hit in 4 of their last 5 versus the AFC South.

Why bet on the Jacksonville

It would be easy to look at this matchup and quickly pencil the Cowboys in for a win, but this Jacksonville team looks to be getting better as the season progresses. They are coming off a huge win over Tennessee last weekend, a victory that actually keeps their division title hopes alive. They have now won 2 of their last 3 games and have covered in 3 of their last 5. The question here is whether we focus on those recent trends or those that go back a little further. If it’s the latter, then the outcome of this one looks to be rather obvious. Going back to their last 10 games played in the month of December, the Jaguars are 1-9 SU. They have also failed to cover in their last 10 non-conference games, while going 0-6 ATS in their last 6 outings versus the NFC East. The OVER has hit in 6 of their last 8 when starting as the underdog.

Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction

If the Cowboys hope to catch the Eagles, they need to probably win out at this point, so the pressure is on here. I think they rise to that pressure and come away with the win, covering in the process. I also like the OVER.
