The Chicago Bears (6-6) are riding a two-game winning streak — and some confidence on offense — heading into a Thursday night showdown against the Dallas Cowboys (6-6).
With the Bears’ slim playoff hopes still alive, they essentially need to win out in their final four games — but that must start Thursday against the Cowboys.
The Bears will be facing off a struggling Cowboys team that has lost three of their last four games and appear to be a team in free fall. Then there’s Chicago that finally found success on offense against the Detroit Lions, and they’ll be looking to prove they can keep that going against the Cowboys.
Even though the Bears are coming off a comeback win over the Lions, Vegas still isn’t as confident in Chicago’s chances against Dallas.
The Bears have opened as 2.5-point underdogs against the Cowboys, according to BetMGM.
Chicago has been favorites in every game they’ve played this season except three — the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9, the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11 and now against the Cowboys in Week 14 — which is surprising considering their struggles this year.
