After both the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys played on Thanksgiving last week, they now hook up this Thursday in a big game for both teams in NFL Week 14.

The Cowboys are sitting at 6-6 and fell to .500 with their 26-15 to the Buffalo Bills. They have lost two in a row and three of their last four games but still hold first place in the NFC East. Dallas are one game up on the Philadelphia Eagles in the division and face them on the road in the second-last game of the season.

The Bears are just the opposite of the Cowboys in that they have won two in a row and three of their last four games. However, even having the same record as Dallas, their playoff hopes are slim. Chicago are three games back of the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North and two games back of the Minnesota Vikings for the second NFC Wild Card.

This season the Bears are 3-3 at home and the Cowboys are 3-3 on the road. These teams have not faced each other since 2016.

The Cowboys outgained the Bills 426 yards to 356 and forced two turnovers without committing any. They took an early 7-0 lead but were outscored 23-0 in the next two quarters. Dak Prescott passed for 355 yards with two touchdowns and an interception and Amari Cooper led the way with 85 receiving yards.

Ezekiel Elliot has been held to under 100 yards in each of his last four games. In the Buffalo game he rushed for 71 yards and had seven catches for 66 yards. He has rushed for over 100 yards in five games this season and the Cowboys won four of those.

Chicago rank seventh in the NFL in run defense and ninth in pass defense, but it is no secret that their struggles this season have come on the other side of the ball. The offense has been consistently poor and ranks 28th in both passing and rushing yards per game.

Mitchell Trubisky has not had a good third season in the league, only ranking 29th in QBR. He did have a good game in the win over the Detroit Lions, however, with 338 passing yards for three touchdowns and one interception. Anthony Miller and Allen Robinson II combined for 226 receiving yards in the game.

David Montgomery leads the Bears in rushing yards. However, the rookie had only rushed for 53 yards in two games before racking up 75 at 4.7 yards per carry in the win over the Lions.

Dallas’ defense has given up at least 26 points in three of their last four games. Overall, they rank eighth in the league defending the pass and 16th defending the run.

Cowboys vs Bears betting predictions

Dallas Cowboys -2.5 at -111.11 with Bovada

The Cowboys head into this game after losing two in a row, while the Bears have won two in a row. Dallas have more talent on the offensive side of the ball and that will show in this game. Prescott and Elliot will play well facing a tough Chicago defense as the Cowboys win and cover on the road.
