I had this one figured out last Friday as the Cowboys remain on playoff life support (I personally think the Bills already pulled the plug for them, oh but wait a minute the Eagles just resuscitated them). Picking this one is pretty easy for me after what I've seen the last few weeks and I see zero indication of a team that wants to win or knows how to win and practicing outside in 60 degree weather is a far cry from 30 degrees of Soldier Field weather. The Cowboys have a lame duck coach, a defense that has no idea how to force turnovers, and the special teams checked out a long time ago. The Bears won't have to do anything special because they won't have to, they'll just sit back and wait for the Cowboys to screw up so they can take advantage of it and that's all the Bears will need to win and when it's all over, it will be another uninspired depressing effort by the Cowboys.

Bears 20
Cowboys 13

Cowboys finally get a lead and the bears qb tries to keep up and makes mistakes...

We get a opening TD and our Defense gets a stop. We score again, after that I don’t know.

SMH... this is the game where you run to vegas and go all in on Dallas to cover.
How many times you have to see the same story line before you start to figure this out.
The fans may hate Garrett, but the players love the red ball, he is the easiest coach in the league to play for and keeps your job security in check.
This team will do what they do best and keep their paychecks secure while playing for club med.
Its all in for JG tonight,, I see a very motivated team actually willing to do what they should be doing week in and week out,, but tonight... look out!

I have no faith in this coaching staff to turn things around. Players are trying to "trust in the process" (recent Zeke quote), but the coaches have no answers to give the players. I expect a boring-to-watch, low-scoring game:

Bears - 13
Cowboys - 10

The only positive to come out of it is we will be one more game closer to this farce finally being over.

The Cowboys are not going to win this game. As much as I want them to turn this around I just don't like the way they have been playing lately and I don't think a lot of yelling and screaming in the locker room is going to change that. The Bears are an okay team, but so are the Cowboys just okay. Its on the road in prime time and the Bears will be fired up to beat the attention grabbing Cowboys. Did you all see the Bills actually mocking Dak and Zeke last week? Other teams are so sick of Dallas they want to pound them just so they can mock them afterwards. I've noticed that teams that get physical with Dallas turn the Cowboys into mush. They Bears are a physical team and they will also turn the Cowboys into mush. They will take the ball away at least twice, win the turnover game and the football game. The Bears QB is another guy who can run and the Cowboys are never in position to stop these QBs from getting out of the pocket. Trabisky is going to run for some key 1st downs and a TD. I hope the Cowboys prove me wrong.

This fan base is so lucky a young Devin Hester is not playing Teams for the Bears tonight. He would be good for two scores by himself, while likely setting up 10 more points off field position.

Since that isn't the case, I think the Cowboys find a way to win 24-13.

Trubisky has his best game of the year against a soft defense that fails to force a turnover for the fifth straight game. Bears defense forces a couple turnovers including a defensive score.

Bears 27
Cowboys 10

It's never easy to root against my team, but last week at home against the Bills, I saw this team slowly quit as the game wore on, especially in the second half. Despite all the player's talk about winning for their coach, their posture and execution on the field speaks otherwise. I think the Bears have a similar makeup as the Bills defensively, and what's worse is that this game is being played outside in chilly Chicago. I expect another frustrating game by the Cowboys, where drives are stalled by stupid penalties and a couple of turnovers. Also, I see no improvement in special teams. And this defense likely goes another 60 minutes without creating a turnover. Let's not also forget that the team will take the field tonight on the heels of more media negativity following the arrest of another DL. The hits just keep on coming.
Chicago 24, Dallas 16

..like it or not, I feel Dallas wins this won. Further invigorating the Jekyll & Hyde affect of the team. Heck, they might even blow past Rams. Get into post season and Ole' Jekyll takes over.

If Chicago had any QB other than Trubisky, they would win. That guy really is terrible......

Cowboys score early and will have chance to blow it open, Chicago offense adjust after seeing the same ole rush 4 cover 1. Trubinsky will have the game of his life and the Cowboys will fail to get off the field on key 3rd downs and Chicago will force some turnovers.

I see this Chicago 27 Cowboys 19.

I hope I am wrong but this is pretty much how the last two games went (especially on the defensive side of the ball).
