The New York Jets gave the Titans something to think about in Week 14 by defeating Tennessee 30-8 to advance to 8-5 on the season. Certainly New York is anticipating the opportunity to get their revenge on the New England Patriots who currently lead the NFC East division by two games. Considering, the Jets still have a chance to catch New England if they are diligent down the stretch of the next two weeks. Tonight they'll rely on their receiving core (WR Brandon Marshall & WR Brian Decker) and rushing game (manned by HB Chris Ivory) to give the Cowboys defense a fatigue like they've not seen just yet this season. I don't like the Cowboys chances of scoring more than 13 points on arguably the AFC's best defense tonight. The only flaw that might allow New York to lose this game is if they turn the ball over in their own territory and grant a sluggish Cowboys offense plenteous red zone opportunities. With the chances of that happening doubtful, I like the Jets in this match-up.

I'll be honest enough to say that I am absolutely tired of talking about the Dallas Cowboys (most of us are). Despite a horrid season, Dallas does offer their signature logo and white and silver jersey's that are just undeniably distinctive. Thus, their 4-9 record has to make one wonder; why are they the most highly discussed NFL team in the league when they most likely won't even make the Playoffs this year. Beats me. Well I think tonight they'll have the opportunity to show the world why they are called "America's team" by matching up with a team that is favorited over them easily. Tonight the Cowboys need to get some sustaining drives and force a few Jets turnovers if they plan to get the upset on their home field. Hopefully Dallas QB Matt Casel can avoid Revis Island and a Jets pass rush that loves eating QB's for dinner. Good Luck Cowboys.
