NFL 12/5

Dallas Cowboys @ Chicago Bears (DAL -3, 43) 8:20 PM

The Cowboys are 6-1 SU and ATS against teams with a losing record and 0-5 SU and ATS against teams with a winning record. The Bears are 6-6 so this game should end in a tie (+950 to go to OT anyone?). Ok, I won’t suggest that as a best bet, but maybe sprinkle so juice on it? The best bet here is actually the under. 15 of the last 19 Bears games have gone under the total. The Bears defense allows 17.3 ppg which ranks 4th in the league and they have allowed 20 points or less in 5 of their last 6. The Cowboys offense ranks 8th with 25.8 ppg but 8 of those games were against bottom half of the league in scoring defenses. In the four games against top 16 scoring defenses, the Cowboys are 0-4 and have scored just 14.5 ppg. Dallas’ 19.7 ppg allowed on defense ranks 8th should be able to stop Trubisky and the Bears offense that has scored more than 20 points just once in the last 6 games. The kicking game helps us out too as Mahher has missed 3 of his last 6 kicks and has missed a field goal in 6 of his last 8 games.  Meanwhile Pinero has made 2 + field goals in only 4 of the Bears 12 games this season. Final Score Prediction: Cowboys 20 Bears 17 OT

Bet: Under 43…with a sprinkle of OT
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Cowboys 24 Bears 31

Today’s Record: 0-1
All-Time Record: 15-19 (44.1%)
