Despite dealing with Jay Cutler missing games due to injury all season, the Bears have actually played well on offense averaging 26.9 points per game and 381.4 total yards per game. The issue has been on defense, where the Bears rank in the bottom five of the league in scoring defense and total yardage allowed.
Chicago enters Monday night’s game on an 0-4 ATS skid, and will need a strong defensive effort to pull off the win.
Fueled by Tony Romo and the third-best scoring offense in the NFL averaging 27.4 points per game, the Dallas Cowboys have compiled a 7-5 SU and 8-4 ATS record through 12 games.
Averaging just 85.1 rushing yards per game, the Cowboys continue to rely heavily on the arm of Romo to carry the offense.

The road team has won each of the last three meetings between these two teams, with all three of those games going OVER the total. Both teams have trended toward the OVER this season with Dallas at 7-5 and Chicago at 8-4.
Motivation will not be an issue for either team in this one as both teams are fighting for their playoff lives. With the NFC East and NFC North still up for grabs, both teams will be looking to finish the season strong and avoid missing the playoffs as they have each of the last two seasons.
Considering both teams have played well on offense but Dallas has been improved on defense, the Cowboys should be able to extend Chicago’s cold streak with a road win.
