Cowboys +1.5 Over 50 total pointsCowboys +1.5

The Bears blew an 11-point lead at home in Week 1 and never held a lead once against the Lions. The defense has allowed at least 27 points in the first two weeks. Dallas narrowly lost to the Eagles on the road in Week 1 before handling business against the Giants last Sunday. Last season, they went 4-3 against the spread as the road underdog, and Dak Prescott has a 2-1 career record against the Bears. SportsLine’s model has Dallas covering the spread in 61% of simulations.

Over 50 total points

The Bears rank 28th in the NFL in total defense (382.5) and last in scoring defense (39.5). Dallas’ defense isn’t much better either, as they are 30th in total defense (404) and tied for 28th in points allowed (30.5). The Cowboys have Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens as major playmakers on offense, where they are third in the NFL in points per game (30). While the Bears’ offense still looks to find a consistent rhythm, they have scored at 21 points in both games. SportsLine’s model projects these teams to score 52 total points, with Dallas securing a 28-24 victory.
