Oddsmakers currently have the Cowboys listed as 6½-point favorites versus the Jaguars, while the game’s total is sitting at 45½.
Blake Bortles has thrown 13 interceptions – three more than any other signal caller – despite making just six starts. He played a mistake-free game last week until throwing an interception in the end zone with just under four minutes left to seal a 33-23 loss at Cincinnati. “(My confidence) hasn’t really wavered much,” Bortles said Wednesday in London. “People talk about rookie mistakes and all of that stuff and I think that’s part of it. You’re going to make mistakes, whether it’s your rookie year or 15th year.” The defense has yielded 116 yards per game less in the last five games than the first four (335 to 451), and the Jaguars rank eighth in the NFL in sack percentage (8.2).
The Jaguars were a 33-23 loser in their most recent outing on the road against the Bengals. They earned a push of the +10-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (56) made winners of OVER bettors.
Injuries on both sides of the ball have started to take their toll, but it became obvious after the Arizona game that the Cowboys’ future literally falls on the back of Romo, who is expected to play despite two small transverse process fractures. “I think we’ll take it day-by-day and see what happens as we move closer,” Romo said Thursday. “It’s improving each day. If it keeps going in that direction, we’ll have a good chance.” Pass protection has been a problem the past two weeks and the Cardinals were able to stack the box with eight or nine defenders, thus ending DeMarco Murray’s record run of eight straight 100-yard games to start a season.
Last time out for Dallas, they were a 28-17 loser as they battled the Cardinals at home. The Cowboys failed to cover in the match as a -1.5-point favorite, while 45 combined points moved the game PUSH for totals bettors.
