The Chicago Bears will travel to take on the Dallas Cowboys in a Sunday afternoon NFL matchup at AT&T Stadium aka “Jerry World” in Dallas. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our NFL odds series, which includes a Bears-Cowboys prediction and pick, laid out below.
Chicago is coming off a Monday Night Football victory over New England to bring their record to 3-4. Matt Eberflus seems to have found a winning game plan against New England, but this matchup is tough. Justin Fields may be on the run for most of this game.
Dallas welcomed back Dak Prescott with a victory last week, bringing their record to 5-2, third place in the NFC East. Mike McCarthy's squad has leaned on their outstanding defense in Prescott's absence. Now, with Prescott back, this team could take a leap as one of the NFC's best.
