Week 14 Thursday Night

Week 14 Game Pick 

Dallas Cowboys (8-4) at Chicago Bears (5-7) Thursday 8:25 pm

Jack’s pick: Cowboys

Cowboys are coming off being embarrassed at home on thanksgiving and both of these teams are playing on Thursday for the second straight week.  I give a slight advantage to the Cowboys and they will be extra motivated to win this game as a loss here puts a huge dent in their playoff chances.  Bears are a tough team to predict because as bad as they have been with a 5-7 record, they still have tremendous talent on the offensive side of the ball, especially in the passing game with Martellus Bennett, Alshon Jeffrey, and Brandon Marshall.  That paired with Dallas’ declining pass defense could spell trouble for the Cowboys.  I still trust the Cowboys offense to do well against the Bears defense and I expect Dallas to win in a close shootout.

Josh's Pick: Cowboys

Despite Dallas getting manhandled by the Eagles on the line of scrimmage, I think win the battle in the trenches on both offense and defense tonight to have a solid bounce back road win. The Bears don't have anyone who can cover Dez Byrant or take away a teams number one recieving threat, and if they load the box to stop the run, I think Dallas can make them pay for taking Dez one-on-one. This game could easily be won by the Bears if their offense finally plays up the level of their potential, but I think them struggling at home on offense and defense is more likely.
