Pittsburgh Steelers vs Dallas Cowboys Betting Picks, Lines, Odds,& Predictions
November 7, 2020. The Pittsburgh Steelers (7-0 SU, 6-1 ATS) will look to maintain their 100% record when they head to AT&T Stadium on Sunday to face the Dallas Cowboys (2-6 SU, 0-8 ATS) who are in all sorts of troubles. Dallas is yet to cover the spread this season and has now lost three consecutive games. At the same time, the Pittsburgh Steelers look like the most dangerous team in the league right now and will try to further extend their lead on the top of the AFC North.Last week, the Eagles beat the Cowboys 23-9.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Dallas Cowboys Betting Line Movement
Due to the uncertainties in the Dallas camp, sportsbooks took some time to post the odds for this game, and, at the moment, the Steelers are favored by -14 or -14.5 points depending on where you place your bet. It’s the first time they’ve been double-digit road favorites in the last two years. The total is set at 43, mainly due to the lack of trust in the potency of the Dallas offense.
Thoughts On The Dallas Cowboys
Eight games into the season and the Steelers look like the most serious candidate to win it all. However, The Washington Football Team beat them 25-3 On October 25, 2020.
They survived a tough two-game stretch undefeated, coming out on top against the Titans and Ravens, and are now looking at an easier schedule in the next month or so. We can expect that sooner, rather than later, Mike Tomlin will start managing the load of some of his key players in preparation for the playoffs. Meanwhile, they don’t show signs of slowing down, scoring at least 26 points in every game. Also, their run defense is among the best in the NFL allowing only 96.85 total rushing yards per game and will look to stifle Ezekiel Elliot who is one of the few remaining offensive weapons Dallas has.
Big Ben’s numbers were not that great last week but it was to be expected in the battle against their Baltimore rivals. Expect him to feast on the horrible Dallas defense and score big on Sunday. WR Chase Claypool was back to his form against the Ravens with five catches and a touchdown while JuJu Schuster keeps active and receiving a lot of targets but is without a touchdown since Week 3. This may be the game where he explodes. However, apply some caution when choosing Pittsburgh players for your DFS lineup because if the game starts heading towards the blowout it’s easy to see Tomlin resting his key players in the fourth quarter.
Thoughts On The Pittsburgh Steelers
The Cowboys are in all sorts of a mess at the moment. They have an uncertain quarterback situation and have scored a measly 22 points in their last three games combined. Now, with Andy Dalton placed on the reserve Covid-19 list, things are even worse. His backup, third-stringer rookie Ben Dinucci didn’t do much last week to show that he can be a worthy replacement. The other option, Garrett Gilbert, signed from the Browns training squad, doesn’t promise much, either.In week 5, the Steelers beat the Eagles. 38-29.
Similar to last week, the Cowboys are not the place to look when choosing your fantasy lineup. Elliot will once more have the most of the defensive focus on him, and the WR trio of Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb won’t be able to do much damage connecting with the third-string quarterback.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Dallas Cowboys Betting Pick = Under 43
This bet mainly relies on the inability of Dallas to score. Pittsburgh will be motivated to get the job done and will do no favors to the Cowboys offense. Both teams will be focused on running, for different reasons. Dallas simply because they lack other options, and Pittsburgh to lessen the load on Big Ben as much as possible.
