NFL Week 4 Betting:  Chicago Bears at Dallas Cowboys

The Monday Night Football game of the week for Week 4 features the Chicago Bears at the Dallas Cowboys. The Bears come into the game with a 2-1 record following wins over Indianapolis and St. Louis, and their week two loss to Green Bay. The Cowboys are also 2-1. Dallas beat New York and Tampa Bay, while losing on the road in Seattle during week two.

Tony Romo and the Dallas offense will be looking to get the offense going again. After scoring 24 in the opener, Dallas scored 7 at Seattle, and just 16 in the win over Tampa Bay. Romo has thrown for 841 yards and 4 touchdowns through the first three weeks. DeMarco Murray has been the anchor of the offense as the running back. Murray has ran for 213 yards and a touchdown on 50 carries this season. The Cowboys offense is averaging over 340 yards per game, while the defense is allowing 250. The Cowboys are tied with Philadelphia and New York for the lead in the NFC East.

Chicago comes into the game tied with Minnesota in the NFC North. This would be a huge win for the Bears, if they can go on the road and get it. It would keep them ahead of both Green Bay and Detroit, who they will be battling with all season. Jay Cutler has not had a great start to the season, but Chicago has been able to garner two wins. The Bears have been a good defensive team; ranking 6th in both pass defense and run defense. Chicago sees both their top running backs with injury concerns. Matt Forte is doubtful for the game, and back-up Michael Bush was listed as probable.

This is going to be a very tight game. These two teams are both playoff contenders. It will be interesting to see how the Bears play on the road, because their first road game was a disaster. Both of these teams have quarterbacks that have a tendency to throw the ball away to the other team. A key here will be ball control. In the end, we are going to bet Dallas -3 and the under 41.5.
