Week 4 provided some interesting stories, including the Dallas Cowboys playing to a 40-40 tie with the Green Bay Packers, among other things. Meanwhile, the New York Jets fell to 0-4 with a loss to the Miami Dolphins. These teams will face off, with plenty on the line. Plus, there will be plenty of Cowboys-Jets bold predictions as we hit Week 5. It’s time to analyze some Week 5 predictions with a few bold takes.
George Pickens had a great night, catching eight passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns to help the Cowboys. It was a big boon for the Cowboys after Ceedee Lamb sustained a high-ankle sprain and will miss 3-4 weeks. Therefore, it assured the team that they had a receiver who could step up in the absence of Lamb.
The Jets could not get the job done, falling to the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. Now, they return home to the Meadowlands and hope they can steal one from the Cowboys. Here are three Cowboys-Jets bold predictions for their showdown at MetLife Stadium.
Ever since his mediocre Week 1 start, Dark Prescott has passed for at least 251 yards in each game since. But he also has three interceptions in those games. Curiously, he did not turn the ball over once last weekend. This prediction is crazier when one realizes that the Jets have no takeaways this season.
When the Jets hired Aaron Glenn to be their new head coach, most believed the defense would improve by default. However, it has not worked out that way, as they have not been able to generate anything. Will McDonald IV has been the best with two sacks. Even with all this, it’s not a talent issue. Much of it has had to do with bad luck and frustrations with penalties. Because they are facing Prescott, the defense will have a chance to get their first this weekend.
Prescott is 1-1 in his career against the Jets, with the one loss coming at the Meadowlands. While he has not turned the football over yet against them, this defense is long overdue, and the floodgates are bound to open.
Justin Fields has not been awful, passing for 471 yards and two touchdowns through four games. Additionally, he has run 24 times for 178 yards and three scores. It is not exactly the picture-perfect start the Jets envisioned when they signed him. But all that could change with a great performance this Sunday.
Fields went 20 for 27 with 226 yards and a touchdown while running seven times for 81 yards in a loss to the Dolphins. Ultimately, he was not the reason why the Jets lost. But he could do more to keep the offense on the field longer. One thing that plagued him last weekend was a dreadful start, as he led the Jets to just three points in the first half.
