Monday Night Football - Chicago Bears @ Dallas Cowboys

The Bears go to Dallas looking to go 3-1 for the season, after a good win last week.  The Cowboys are also looking to go 3-1 and join the Philadelphia Eagles at the top of the NFC East.  The Bears are strong on defense and coming into this week, were ranked 6th against the pass and 6th against the run.  The Cowboys were 2nd against the pass but 19th against the run.  Neither side are particularly impressive in the passing game although they both have decent quarterbacks and receivers who could do a job if called upon.  In the running games, the Bears are comfortably better. 

The two quarterbacks have 9 interceptions between them and it is quite a worrying for the playoff hopes of the two sides.  Cutler has 3 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.  Romo has 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.  The two are in tough divisions and they won't get into the playoffs with that amount of turnovers.  The Bears have a dangerous looking running attack with Matt Forte and Michael Bush.  Forte looks like being back for this game and if the Bears offensive line can play their part then they should run the ball well against the Cowboys.  The Cowboys running game relies heavily on DeMarco Murray.  Murray has had a decent season so far but he isn't getting the required help from his team mates. 

Prediction - I think the Bears could come out on top in this game and pick up the win.
