The Dallas Cowboys are a perfect 7-0 straight up and against the spread over their last seven games. They hope to extend their hot streak this Sunday on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cowboys vs. Steelers odds 2016: Streaking Dallas a betting underdog at Pittsburgh for Week 10
The Dallas Cowboys are on the road this Sunday and set as small underdogs at the sportsbooks as they take on the slumping Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.

Dallas is a 2.5-point road underdog at Heinz Field at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. This will be the fifth time that the Cowboys have been an underdog this season, going 3-0-1 ATS in their previous four instances.
Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott’s mission at the start of the regular season was to keep the Cowboys in contention until Tony Romo came back healthy. Prescott has far exceeded expectations, ranking fourth in the NFL with a passer rating of 104.2 and leading the Cowboys to a 7-1 SU and 7-0-1 ATS run through the first half of 2016.
Romo has been a participant at practice and looks close to returning, but the Cowboys have indicated that they will likely continue to roll with the rookie until he gives them a reason not to do so.
This will be Dallas’s fifth road game of the season. The Cowboys are 4-0 SU and ATS on the road this season after going 2-5 SU and ATS in their previous seven road games, per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Betting Line / Total: Pittsburgh -2.5 / 50 Points
Trend: The Steelers are 7-2 SU in their last nine games after losing as a favorite.
Trend: The Cowboys are 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 games in Week 10.
Pittsburgh jumped out to a 4-1 SU and ATS start to the season and appeared to be well on its way to an AFC North division title, averaging 34 points per game in those four wins. But since the hot start, the Steelers are 0-3 SU and ATS and have averaged a paltry 15 points per game over that stretch.
With four of the team’s next five games coming on the road, the Steelers should be highly motivated to avoid falling to 4-5 SU with a loss this Sunday.
Sunday’s total is set at 50 points. The UNDER is 7-1 in Dallas’ last eight games as a betting underdog.
The Steelers have the talent to be one of the best teams in the NFL, but the Cowboys have consistently played like one of the best teams in the league all season. Pittsburgh will need to have a much stronger effort against Dallas this week than it did against Baltimore if the Steelers hope to avoid a fourth-straight loss.
