Bears vs Cowboys Prediction & Pick

The 2022 NFL season has featured a t on of unexpected storylines, but seeing the Cowboys dominate on defense has to be one of the biggest surprises. Dallas has posted the second-best total DVOA rating in the league, behind the Buffalo Bills, and is only allowing 14.9 points per game (No. 2 in NFL).

That should scare the Bears' offense. Before bursting out for 33 points in Week 7, Chicago was only averaging 15.5 points per game as drives were constantly being stalled in the red zone. Expecting what happened on Monday night to happen on Sunday would be unrealistic here. Dallas gets the W.

Final Score Prediction:'Bears: 14 | Cowboys: 24

Bears vs Cowboys Best Bet

While the Cowboys have certainly made their mark on defense, it's important not to overlook the Bears here. Chicago ranks among the top 12 teams in statistical categories such as points allowed per game, yards allowed per game and takeaways per game. Matt Eberflus' defense is on fire in 2022.

All signs point to a low-scoring battle here. The under has cashed in each of Dallas' last six home games and it has also cashed in six of Chicago's last seven games against an NFC East opponent. Look for punts to be downed inside the 20 and stops to be made in the red zone on Sunday afternoon.
