The Chicago Bears (3-4) will battle the Dallas Cowboys (5-2) on Sunday, where Chicago will look to build on an impressive prime-time win where all phases excelled.
Despite the Bears coming off that dominating 33-14 win over the New England Patriots (3-4), oddsmakers don’t feel confident about their chances on the road against the Cowboys.
The Bears have opened as 9.5-point road underdogs against the Cowboys in Week 8, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The over/under is set at 42.5.
Following their impressive Week 7 win, Chicago has plenty to build on. The Bears offense scored their most points (33) since 2020, and Justin Fields put together his best game as a pro. On defense, they continue to be one of the best second-half teams in the NFL and forced another four turnovers. But they’ll be tested against a dominant Cowboys team.
This is the sixth time this season that Chicago are underdogs (previously against the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots). They were favored in Week 3 against the Houston Texans and Week 6 against the Commanders.
