PICK 1: Cowboys -3

The Cowboys are one of three teams that rank in the top 10 in total offense (first) and total defense (eighth), along with the Ravens and 49ers. The record isn’t where it should be based on the talent, but facing the Bears should help.

Chicago hasn’t beaten a team with playoff relevance since a surprising Week 4 16-6 win over the Vikings, with losses to the Raiders, Saints, Eagles and Rams since. The Bears have covered the spread just once in their last seven games and are averaging 16.7 ppg the last six weeks. They’ll need a big uptick in offense to cover this small spread.

PICK 2: Under 42.5 Points

The Over has hit in four straight matchups between these teams, but that matters little here. The Under hit in five Bears games in a row before the O/U of 37 was just too small on Thanksgiving in a 24-20 win over the Lions.

The Under has hit in the last two Cowboys games and despite having a high-octane offense, five of their games have finished under 43 points.

PICK 3: Highest-Scoring Quarter – 2nd Quarter

The Bears only score average or better in the third quarter, where they average an inexplicable 7.6 ppg (second best). But the second quarter is by far their second-best frame, and it’s the highest-scoring one for the Cowboys. It also ranks as the quarter where Dallas allows the most points and it’s nearly the worst for Chicago. The last several weeks, it has devolved into the worst.

PICK 4: Most Punts -- Bears

Only the Jets have punted more times than the Bears, who kick it away 5.6 times per game. Only the Bills have punted fewer times than the Cowboys, who send out their punter only 2.9 times per game.

Location only pushes it further – Dallas punter Chris Jones averages 3.0 kicks in road games, while Chicago’s Pat O’Donnell’s numbers actually rise to 6.2/game.

PICK 5: First Half/Final Result – Cowboys/Cowboys

Based strictly on talent, the Cowboys have been a big disappointment. But their playoff aspirations are still in their own hands and the Bears can’t match up player for player. Chicago’s 3-3 home record (and 2-4 ATS mark) won’t scare Dallas. The Bears are an amazing third quarter team, but look for the Cowboys to get off to a good start, build a halftime lead and hold on late.
