NFL Week 2 Preview: Cowboys vs Bears

The Cowboys will get a chance to redeem themselves at Cowboys Stadium in week 2 of the NFL regular season. The Dallas Cowboys (0-1) will face the Chicago Bears (1-0) who are coming off a week 1 win. After losing to an awful Redskins team last week this is now a must win, I know this seems a bit premature but I will explain.

Last week the Cowboys gave up one of the easier road games of the season with the loss to the Redskins. The Cowboys need to beat this mediocre Bears team at home if they want to keep their schedule manageable down the stretch. My 2010 2011 cowboys schedule prediction didn’t make it past week 1. Schedule Prediction

All that aside, Last week the Bears beat the Lions 19-14. Not very impressive considering Stafford didn’t finish the game and the Bears still struggled. The Bears are starting to show their age on defense and Cutler’s numbers have been terrible without a big WR like Marshall. I want to predict that the Cowboys will win this game, but don’t really feel comfortable doing so after last week. The odds don’t do much for me either, there are too many wildcards in this game to bet confidently. Hopefully the Cowboys will make some changes this week in practice, but I don’t expect the red zone offense to improve until Jason Garrett is outed and that doesn’t appear to be coming anytime soon.
