Dallas has been a reliable OVER play in Week 1 recently (5-1) but faces a stingy New York Jets team at the Meadowlands to kick off the 2011 season.
Rex Ryan's team looks to make the final step to make the Super Bowl and they have been good to bettors as a small favorite lately, going 7-1 ATS in their past 8 games as chalk of 4 or less points.
The Jets lost limply in Week 1 last year but advanced to the AFC title game for the second straight season. [ See current odds to win Super Bowl 46 at Sportsbook ]
