Dallas Cowboys @ New York Jets Sunday Night Football Pick

Dallas Cowboys @ New York Jets Sunday Night Football Pick: The Jets continue to impress me. Two years ago I thought they went to far, and last year they ended up a win away from the Super Bowl after beating the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts in back to back playoff games. Pittsburgh finally ousted them, but this team continues to get better as a young offense grows up. That being said, the additions of Plaxico Burress and Derrick Mason add some nice pieces for a possession style offense that wants to hold onto the ball. Both those old guys have good hands, run good routes, block well, and know how to get open – they’ve been doing it forever. Moving Shonn Greene into the starting running back role was a good move – he’s the right guy for that job and should punish defenses if nothing else. He’s a beast.

Still, I don’t think they’re as amazing as everyone else does. They are overachieving in my book, and eventually that has to even out. I see the Cowboys as one of the potential best teams in the NFC, and they should give the Jets a big run. Rarely do the Cowboys come into a game and a season with less hype than their opponent, but because of Rex Ryan’s enormousness, in mouth and body, the Jets are expected to win this game. Experts have them as a big favorite, and the public likes them too – the old double dipper!

But I’m on Dallas’s side. I think they’ll be improved defensively with the addition of a good defensive coordinator, and I think they’ll be more disciplined with a better head coach situation. Tony Romo is really good, and his stable of weapons might be good enough to give the super secondary some trouble.
