JETS (8-5) AT COWBOYS (4-9), Saturday, 8:25 p.m.
TV: NFL, Ch. 2; Radio: ESPN (98.7)
Jets by 3.5; O/U: 41.5
Five words you’re going to hear often this time of the season: If the playoffs started today. Well, if they did, the Jets would be the AFC’s sixth seed. But don’t go buying those playoff tickets just yet. The NFL sometimes can stand for the No Fair League. Consider: Even if the Jets go 11-5, they might still lose out on a tiebreaker to the Chiefs and Steelers. Meanwhile, the Giants might be playoff-bound at 8-8.
