Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears

If you’ve been kind enough to read my picks on a weekly basis then you know by now that I’ve been burned by the Bears too many times. I was a believer for a long time, but those days are over. Chicago’s pass defense is hot garbage and I think Tony Romo and Dez Bryant will be able to exploit it for some big plays. If Dallas is able to build an early lead they can then use DeMarco Murray and their good offensive line to control the clock and pull out the road win.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals

The Steelers are another team that is hard to figure out. At times they look a serious contender, but then they go and lose games to teams like the Jets. While Roethlisberger has been good this season the Bengals have one of the better pass defenses in the NFL. I think Le’Veon Bell can help Pittsburgh keep it close, but I like the match up of AJ Green against the Steelers secondary and think he’ll be good for a few big plays. I’m going to have to go with the Bengals at home in this one.
