Pittsburgh Steelers vs Dallas Cowboys Prediction

The Dallas Cowboys haven’t looked good these last 3 weeks, and that includes allowing a bad Giants team to hang around Thursday night. Things aren’t getting any better for the Cowboys, as Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence are doubtful with injuries. The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a poor performance against the Colts where they slept walked through the first half. However, overall the defense has been one of the best in the league and Fields has added a play making dynamic to the offense.

The Dallas Cowboys have had extra time to prepare, and that’s valuable, especially in the underdog role. The Cowboys just aren’t in great form, and injuries to their best defensive linemen doesn’t help matters. I’ll lay the chalk with the Steelers at home.
