J-Mac is backing the Jets to hand the Vikings their first loss of the season when they face off in London. Find out why, along with his other best bets for Week 5.
A lot goes into handicapping these NFL games. It’s a labor of love and an ever-evolving process. Two weeks ago, I stumbled upon something that had worked in the past and appears to be back. And that's giving long, hard looks at teams that did not cover the spread the week prior when they face teams that did cover the spread. Two weeks ago, those matchups went 7-2; last week, 4-1-1. This week, there are five of them left after the Falcons came through on Thursday.
Jets to lose by fewer than 2.5 points, or win outright Colts @ Jaguars Give me the winless Jaguars here at home to finally get a victory. Besides the Buffalo embarrassment, the Jags have been in three games deep into the fourth quarter and come up empty. That's partially due to poor play-calling on high-leverage downs. Indy will be without Jonathan Taylor, and as we write this, it’s unclear if Anthony Richardson will start at QB or if it’ll be Joe Flacco.
Jaguars to win by more than 3 points Cowboys @ Steelers Last week, the Steelers fell into a 17-0 hole against Indy and rallied to lose a close one. On Thursday Night Football, Dallas won and covered against the lowly Giants. Since that Cowboys win, they have lost their best two defensive players, DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons, and their No. 2 wide receiver, Brandin Cooks. Expect Pittsburgh to scheme superstar edge rusher T.J.
