    Dallas -3 @ Chicago?

    This is a tough line. On one hand I think Dallas is a better team, just much more talented all around. On the other hand, I'm wondering if Trubisky has turned a corner. He sucks, but there are moments where he's rock solid. And the Bears defense has been atrocious for several weeks this year. I wonder when they're going to start playing well. I think Elliot could gash them. Their run D has been suspect. Both teams need this win badly. Chicago is not eliminated from playoff contention yet, and the way athletes think, every game now is a must win. No one in professional sports packs it in if they're still in the hunt.

    Anyone have any insight on this game?

    Cowboys bro. this Bears squad is the perfect team to right the ship against. especially defensively. they have all the talent in the world on that side of the ball. if they can't lock down Trubisky in an absolute must win game then forget about it. I think if they win here they'll run the table.

    I agree they can lock him down, just don't know if they will. And technically, this is not a must win game for the Cowboys, but it is for the Bears. Cowboys will still be in first place I believe if they lose this game. Obv they want to win, but it's not win or go home.

    What corner did he turn? He beat the lions twice and the giants who have no defense. People keep talking like suddenly he figured it out. He hasn’t figured out shit and the sooner the bears see the sooner they can move on to another qb and not waste the talent defensive players like have

    must win more so from a morale standpoint. you can't keep losing to competitive teams and expect to make noise in the playoffs. the standings are still too close not to treat this like a must win game anyway. Garrett will be coaching for his job and Dak is one of the best leaders in the entire league. I think they rally. gonna wait til tomorrow to see if I can get -2.5.

    good point, but once in a great while he has those fluke games where he goes off.

    As a lifelong NY Giants fan this frustrates me to no end.
    All the Giants have to do is address one piece on the o-line and tweak the defense and they’re a 9 win team instead of a 4 (probably) win team.

    At first glance, knee jerk reaction is yes Dallas looks like the play tonight.

    Chicago should be the favorite IMO. Dallas feels kinda square to me.

    Dallas can lose to the Bears & Rams, but if they win in Philly week 16, they should still win the division. Conversely, Dallas could beat the Bears & Rams, but if they lose to Philly, then the Eagles would likely take the division - assuming they beat the Giants (twice) and Redskins.

    My point is, what is Dallas' motivation here? Chicago is still (barely) alive for the wild card and has another game with the Vikings (who they already beat). I'd say this is Bears or nothing. I'd definitely take the +3 though.

    It'll be around 32 degrees at game time. Not much wind. What about the total?

    Dallas playing outdoors in hostile environment. I think Bears' better defense and better coaching make the difference

    Can not back Dallas with Garrett continuing to run the team

    cowboys can't beat anyone. week after week they struggle against average teams. they're all media hype. I don't even see much "talent" on their roster since they consistently lose.

    Lots of public $ on the Cowboys...Bears O line is weak BUT if Tribisky can avoid the blitz then the Bears have better weapons downfield with Cohen and Miller. Williams is out for Dallas at L gaurd. Bears are better defending the pass.. Like the Bears to cover and Under.

    Chi can't run the ball

    Turbinsky cannot complete passes over 5 yards

    Chicago kicking game is suspect, Chi doesn't score TDs

    Dallas can run the ball

    Dallas scores TDs

    Everyone on Garrett's ass, but the guy has been around 10 years and he wins A LOT of games.

    Dallas is going to the post season, Chicago isn't.

    Dallas has a QB, Chicago doesn't.

    Of course Dallas the better team but that hadn’t stopped them from losing to many other teams they were more talented than.
