The Chicago Bears (3-4) will square off against the Dallas Cowboys (5-2) on Sunday in Week 8 at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Bears vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Bears are coming off an impressive 33-14 win over the New England Patriots in Week 7 following a 3-game losing streak. QB Justin Fields has finally been more involved in the running game for Chicago with 170 combined rushing yards and a touchdown on 26 attempts in the last 2 weeks.
The Cowboys got QB Dak Prescott back in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, and they proceeded to win 24-6 at home, covering as 7-point favorites. Dallas’ defense has been fantastic this season, allowing only 14.9 points per game, which is the 2nd-fewest in the NFL. They face a hurdle this week with RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) likely out.

Bears at Cowboys picks and predictions
Prediction
Cowboys 27, Bears 17
Moneyline
You can AVOID taking the moneyline in this game with the Cowboys being heavy favorites. Even though Dallas should secure a victory at home, taking the Cowboys straight up isn’t worth doing at this price.
Against the spread
COWBOYS -9.5 (-120) is where I’m leaning in this game with Dallas having a running game that can control the clock, Prescott is back and the defense is 1 of the best units in the NFL. Fields has looked better in recent weeks, but he’s prone to making mistakes, and 1 mistake could cost Chicago on the road.
The Bears are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 road games against a team with a winning record. The Cowboys are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games against a team with a losing record, and they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games against a team with a losing road record.
Over/Under
Even with the Cowboys having an elite defense, OVER 42.5 (-112) is where I’m going with Dallas capable of scoring close to 30 points. The Bears might struggle to score points, but they should be able to score enough to help reach the Over.
The Over has hit in each of the last 7 meetings between the Bears and the Cowboys.
