Chicago Bears vs. Dallas Cowboys: Prediction for Week 3

The Chicago Bears are still adapting to the Ben Johnson system. The Bears are yet to record a win, and it won't get easier against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys lost their first game of the season against defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, but bounced back to beat the New York Giants in Week 2. Next on their agenda is a Chicago side fresh off a blowout loss to the Detroit Lions.

Our prediction is that the Dallas Cowboys will win by a 31-23 scoreline. There'll be passing and rushing touchdowns from both sides. However, the Cowboys should ultimately have too much firepower for the still-rebuilding Bears in Week 3.
