Cowboys vs Jaguars Prediction & Pick

A 98-yard touchdown drive that ended with only seconds left on the game clock was the difference between a win and a loss for Dallas last week. QB Dak Prescott has now racked up 6 touchdowns compared to 5 interceptions over the last three contests. He needs to clean things up in Week 15.

The good news for Dak is that Jacksonville has posted the third-worst pass defense DVOA rating in the NFL and allows a whopping 253.3 passing yards per game this season (No. 28 in NFL). The Jags have also given up 21 passing touchdowns, which is tied for the fifth-highest total in the league.

Dallas has won each of its last nine games in December and I see that streak reaching 10 on Sunday.

Final Score Prediction: Cowboys: 31 | Jaguars: 21
