Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, witnesses the start of NFL Week 14 and a fundamental clash to shape the postseason at the National Conference: Dallas visiting Matt Nagy’s team.
The best ball passing team faces against the fifth best overall defense in this Thursday night game, but the key here could be that Dallas also has a quality defense – 9th. best in the league – while Chicago has constantly battled to move the ball with Mitch Trubisky at the controls.
The defeat of the Texans last Thursday at home against Buffalo almost represents that Philadelphia reaches them at the top of the East of the National, but Miami beat Carson Wentz and company, then Dallas remains as a solo leader with a 6-6 mark .
While Chicago reached the same mark, but it is still behind the candidates for a Playoff place as a wild card in the NFC and a virtually unattainable distance from the leader of the North, Green Bay, who has won nine and lost just three duels.
For these reasons, it is clear that none of these squads can afford to suffer a new defeat in this clash, since another setback could mean saying goodbye to the postseason – in the case of Chicago – or complicating the division title too much. .
The betting line has Dallas as a favorite for three units despite the fact that Chicago is local, a situation that should not be confused and avoid investing in the -110 that visitors pay to succeed on Thursday.
Speaking of points, the highs are established in 43 units, a figure that will hardly be reached by the level of the defenses and Trubisky’s scarce offensive contribution, so it is convenient to invest in the lows (-110).
