This matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars is unlikely to produce many points. Oddsmakers have assigned this game a 41.0-point over/under, tied for the lowest of Week 6.

Outside of Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys' offense has been putrid, but on the other side, Blake Bortles has been wildly inconsistent to start the year. After leading the Jags to a dominant win over the New England Patriots in Week 2, Bortles has struggled mightily over the past three weeks. He's been sacked 10 times and has thrown 5 interceptions over that span, including 4 last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Each of the past three defenses to face the Jags have finished as a top-10 unit for that week.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys' defense has continued its solid start to the season. The Cowboys have posted the sixth-most sacks (15) and quarterback hits (33) through 5 weeks. Further bolstering the Cowboys defense this week will be the expected return of David Irving, who is coming back off a four-game suspension.

The Cowboys are a 3.0-point home underdog in this matchup, but against the ever-inconsistent Bortles, they could be set up for a big fantasy week.
