The Cowboys and Steelers are both at 7-6 and in the playoff hunt and the loser of this game will be behind the 8-ball in their post-season push. The Steelers have lost 3 of their last 4 games and even with Ben Roethlisberger back under center they suffered a shocking home loss to the Chargers in their last game. <\/p>\n

Buy Razor Ray’s Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys Preview <\/strong><\/p>\n On the other side of the coin the Cowboys have won 2 in a row and 4 of their last 5 games and Tony Romo is playing great football. NFL lines have the Steelers as 1-point road favorites with a total of 44.<\/p>\n In their last games the Cowboys beat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-19 and the Steelers lost to the San Diego Chargers 34-24.<\/p>\n On the season the Steelers are 5-7-1 ATS and they have an Over\/Under record of 6-7 and the Cowboys are 5-8 ATS and they have an Over\/Under record of 6-7.<\/p>\n The Cowboys’ offense has been playing well, but they may be without WR Dez Bryant in this game and that loss may be a big blow, as he has been en fuego in the last few games. Even if he cannot go Romo has a couple other legit receivers and TE Jason Witten. Romo ha averaged over 300 passing yards in his last 6 games and in that span he only has 3 INT. The Steelers have the best pass defense, but their secondary is really banged up and in the San Diego loss they gave up 11 3rd downs through the air.<\/p>\n DeMarco Murray has been decent since missing several games with an injury and he has to help Romo out on offense. He will be facing a Pittsburgh run defense that gave up 94 rushing yards to the Chargers last week and overall ranks 5th in the league.[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Big Ben passed for 285 yards with 3 TD and 1 INT in the loss to San Diego, but he got little help from the rushing offense. He has a good WR corps, but WR Mike Wallace cannot have multiple dropped balls like he did last week.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh RB Rashard Mendenhall is suspended for this game and RB Jonathan Dwyer will be the main back. In the Chargers game he only rushed for 32 yards.<\/p>\n The Cowboys pass defense is solid ranking 8th in the league, but their run defense has struggled. Their run D ranks 16th in the league and even winning their last 2 games they gave up an average of 7.2 yards per carry.<\/p>\n In some betting trends for this non-conference match up the Steelers are 3-1-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games, and they have an Over record of 6-2 in their last 8 road games.<\/p>\n The Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games, 5-17 ATS in their last 22 home games, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.<\/p>\n Jason’s Pick:<\/strong> The Cowboys are the home underdog, but they are hot and facing a banged up Pittsburgh defense they will win and improve their playoff chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pittsburgh vs Dallas Betting!
