The Cowboys and Bears are both expected to be in the hunt for the playoffs come week seventeen. This game will end up being a pivotal game come December for playoff implications. Dallas has the lines maker classic three point home edge, and a 41.5 point over/under is set for the point total.

Tony Romo and Jay Cutler have the good and the bad mixture in the eyes of the NFL fan and media. Romo has been an elite quarterback from a statistical standpoint but just can’t pull off the big games when needed. Cutler has shown to get flustered when things are going bad, and a poor play tends to lead to more bad decisions from Cutler.

If he can have Matt Forte back tonight that should help alleviate forced throws, as Cutler can check down as he is accustomed to. Many are expecting this to be a low scoring game, but I expect some big plays to happen.

DeMarco Murray and Matt Forte are home run threats in the open field and will cause both defenses to have to apply more attention to a running back out of the backfield. That will open up holes for one on one matchups occasionally for either Brandon Marshall or Dez Bryant, and the tight ends in Jason Witten and Kellen Davis.

We all know that Jay Cutler has been prone to sacks. A lot of the blame in the Green Bay contest was on the Bears offensive line and not Cutler. If he can keep his head in the game, the Bears should be able to pull out this win on the road. J’Marcus Webb has had enough attention on him the last few years. Cutler’s shoving of him on Thursday night may be what he needed to get himself in gear on a game to game basis.

Can J’Marcus Webb get embarrassed on national television once again as he has vs the Giants on Sunday Night football a few years ago, and against the Packers Thursday two weeks ago? I think he’ll actually be up for the challenge tonight.
Two plays tonight: Bears +3 and the over first half of 21
