The Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears face off on Sunday in an NFL showdown at AT&T Stadium. When these two teams faced off in 2019 it was Chicago that secured the 31-24 victory.
The Chicago Bears come into this game with a 3-4 record overall, but they are coming off a big win in the last game. The Bears scored 33 points and that led to the blowout victory. Justin Fields completed 13 of his 21 passes for 179 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also rushed 14 times for 82 yards and a touchdown. The Bears' offense is averaging 18 points per game, while their defense is giving up 18.9 points per game. The defense has been good, but the offense has been too inconsistent.
On the other side of this matchup is the Cowboys, who sit with a 5-2 record overall, and they are coming off another big win in the last game. The Cowboys defense was elite, giving up only six points to the Detroit Lions, and that was the difference. Dak Prescott completed 19 of his 25 passes for 207 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Dallas is averaging 19.1 points, while their defense is giving up 14.9 points per game. The defense is ranked second best in the league. Ezekiel Elliott is expected to miss this game to get him some extra rest heading into the bye week. The Cowboys still have Tony Pollard and the running game should still be fine in this game.
The Cowboys are 11-1 against the spread in their last 12 games against a team with a losing record. The under is 6-0 in the Cowboys last six home games. The under is 4-0 in the Cowboys last four games as a home favorite. The Cowboys are 4-0 against the spread in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
Points are going to be hard to come by in this game. The Bears' offense has been the strength this season, and Dak Prescott didn’t play that well in the last game. I also expect the Bears to go back to their struggles moving the ball. The Cowboys defense is giving up 14.9 points per game, and the Bears' offense is going to struggle to score here. This game is going to stay under the total.
