Prediction
I know the Steelers offense isn’t great, but the Dallas defense has been really bad and are now without Parsons and Lawrence. The Cowboys offense is limited with no running game and just one top-line wide receiver. Dallas barely won against a bad Giants team last week. Pittsburgh’s defense is terrific and should have no problem making Dallas look bad. Justin Fields has played good enough and the Steelers should be able to establish a running attack here on Sunday night. I’ll lay the points as one of my Best Bets of the week.
Pick: Steelers -2.5
