Steelers at Cowboys: Game notes
- Cowboys QBs Dak Prescott (ankle) and Andy Dalton (COVID-19) remain sidelined. QB Ben DiNucci started in Week 8 and completed just 21 of 40 passes for 180 yards so the ‘Boys are turning to either QB Garrett Gilbert or Cooper Rush for Week 9. The starter hadn’t been announced by the time of publishing.
- On the other side, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is leading the way for Comeback Player of the Year and is in the MVP competition. He has completed 67.9% of his passes for 1,628 yards and 15 touchdowns against 4 interceptions.
- Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott topped 50 rushing yards for the first time since Prescott went down with injury last week. He still hasn’t scored a touchdown with Prescott out of the lineup.
- Dallas has lost three straight games and five of its last six. The last three losses each came by a margin of at least 14 points.
- Pittsburgh is the NFL’s last undefeated team. It has won all but one game by at least 4 points and is a league-best 6-1 against the spread. Dallas hasn’t covered a spread this season.

Steelers at Cowboys: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Steelers 38, Cowboys 10
Money line (?)
The Steelers (-1000) will win this game, but it’s ill-advised to bet 10 times your potential return. The Cowboys’ yet-to-be-named QB will be a guy deemed worse than DiNucci just a week ago.
Against the spread (?)
The STEELERS -14 (-115) are the play at a heavy spread that still seems far too low. They’re fifth in scoring offense (30.1 points per game) and sixth in scoring defense (20.3 PPG allowed). The Cowboys are last defensively with 33.3 PPG allowed and have scored a total of 22 points in their last three games.
Over/Under (?)
Even with the Cowboys struggling to put up any points and facing a tough defense, it’s very hard to see this game not going OVER 42.5 (-110) on a very low total. Steelers backup QB Mason Rudolph has starting experience from last season and will be able to lead a couple of touchdown drives even if Big Ben is pulled early.
