Cowboys and Jets Clash in High-Scoring Showdown
5 Oct
Summary
- Cowboys enter as 2.5-point road favorites
- Jets still winless despite late-game fight in recent loss
- Defenses struggle to make timely stops
As of October 6th, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys are set to visit the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. The Cowboys enter the game with a 1-2-1 record, coming off a 40-40 tie against the Green Bay Packers. Meanwhile, the Jets are still searching for their first win of the season, despite showing late-game fight in a 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
The Cowboys are favored by 2.5 points on the road, riding an offense that has averaged 404.3 yards per game, the fifth-highest in the NFL. However, the team has been haunted by defensive breakdowns and penalty issues, allowing 31 or more points in three straight games and ranking bottom-five in third-down defense.
The Jets, on the other hand, have struggled to finish games, allowing at least 27 points in all four outings so far. They are now dealing with injuries to key contributors, including Braelon Allen. With both teams desperate for a win, this cross-conference clash could come down to which defense can make a timely stop.
