Dallas Cowboys at Pittsburgh Steelers Picks & Predictions

Written by Steve Janus

Dallas and Pittsburgh clash on Sunday in a game that could have a tremendous impact on the possibility of a post season for either team. The Steelers are obviously in the driver’s seat at 9-3 on the season, but, even at 8-4, the Cowboys need as many wins as possible right now to catch up in the NFC Wild Card race. The Cowboys have won three straight, though not against the toughest competition, while the Steelers have rattled off three wins of their own and have won 4 of their last 5 overall. The Steelers are 3 point favorites over the Cowboys with the total set at 38 points this week.

Ever since getting starting quarterback Tony Romo back, offense hasn’t been a problem for the Cowboys. Dallas is averaging 25 points per game on 356 yards of total offense and have scored more than 30 points in each of their last two contests. The running game has been effective for the Cowboys averaging 112 yards per game, but Dallas certainly likes to throw the ball down field with 244 passing yards per game and 7.4 yards per attempt. Dallas will face the best defense in the league this week, so they better hope their offensive machine is firing on all cylinders.

The Dallas defense has been a hindrance at times, but for the most part they’ve been able to keep the Cowboys within striking distance. On the year they are giving up 21.7 points per game on 297 total yards per game. They are holding opponents to just under 100 rushing yards per game and just over 200 passing yards per game. Dallas will need to take advantage of the holes in Pittsburgh’s offensive line if they are going to win Sunday afternoon. Dallas is a three point underdog on the road.

The Steelers’ offense just about everything right to win games. They don’t turn the ball over much, they control the clock well, and they still manage to put points on the board. Pitt is scoring 22.4 points per game on 307 yards of total offense. Their numbers won’t blow you away with just 105 rushing yards per game and only 202 passing yards per game, but those numbers are usually more than enough to carry the Steelers to a win.

Pittsburgh is still yet to give up over 300 yards of total offense to any single opponent this year. In fact, on average, they are allowing on 238 total yards per game. They’ve held opponents to only 71 rushing yards per game and are only giving up 166 passing yards per game. This has translated into the Steelers holding the opposition to just 14 points per game. If anyone has a chance to break the Steelers’ impressive streak, it very well could be the Cowboys with their various offensive weapons. Pitt is favored by 3 in this week’s game.

This is an important game for both teams. For Dallas, there’s a lot on the line as they will need to win the majority of their remaining games if they want a shot at the Wild Card spot. The Steelers need another win to help keep them a game ahead of the charging Baltimore Ravens.
