The Cowboys snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 20-15 win in Week 4 over the New York Giants, pushing on the spread and going under the 45-point total. QB Dak Prescott was efficient, completing 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards and 2 TDs, including 98 yards and 1 score to WR CeeDee Lamb. However, the Dallas run game continues to struggle, averaging just 75.3 yards per game, lowest in the NFL, raising concerns as they move forward.
The Steelers were upset 27-24 by the Colts as 2.5-point road favorites. QB Justin Fields delivered his best performance with 312 passing yards and a TD, along with 55 rushing yards and 2 scores. WR George Pickens had his 1st 100-yard receiving game (7 catches for 113 yards).

Cowboys at Steelers picks and predictions
Prediction
Steelers 20, Cowboys 13
Moneyline
PASS.
The Steelers (-145) were humbled last week in Indianapolis. They will take advantage of the prime-time game and beat a very depleted Cowboys team. But I’ll take my wager to the spread.
Against the spread
BET STEELERS -2.5 (-110).
Pittsburgh’s loss to the Colts featured some promising moments, with 404 yards of offense and 23 first downs. A slow start and a couple of turnovers cost them, but they’re in a good spot for a bounce-back performance.
Meanwhile, Dallas didn’t exactly shine against the Giants. They had 11 penalties and just 293 yards of total offense, including only 80 rushing yards. There defense is now riddled with injuries and will be without Parsons and Lawrence for this game. I like Pittsburgh to cover here at home.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 44 (-110).
Taking the Under seems like a solid choice. Their last 4 meetings have split the total and recent trends lean toward a defensive battle. The Cowboys offense struggled against a subpar Giants team and now faces a stingy Pittsburgh defense, which allows only 13.3 points per game. Additionally, 5 of the Steelers’ last 6 home games against NFC teams hit the Under, and they’ve stayed Under in 3 of their last 4 overall. This game feels primed for a low-scoring affair.
