Game of the Week: Beardown

With all of the inclement weather we have had, it should make for an entertaining game tonight when the Bears take on the Cowboys at Soldier Field in Chicago. The game-time weather should be at or below freezing. Both of these teams need to win to keep up with the teams ahead of them in their division. The winner of this game will then be tied up at the top of their divisions. The Bears are a 1/2 game behind the Lions in the NFC North. The same goes for the Cowboys with the Eagles in the NFC East. The Bears rushing defense is very shaky, so DeMarco Murray should get a lot of the touches for Dallas. Jay Cutler is out for the Bears, and it comes at a bad time. However, Josh McCown has it a little easier on him as the Cowboys pass defense is the worst in the league. Not to mention McCown has targets in Brandon Marshall, Marcellus Bennett, and Alshon Jeffery. This will be a very interesting game, but I see Matt Forte having a big running day. The Cowboys defense is in the bottom five of the league at stopping the run, too. 
My Pick: Chicago 31 Cowboys 23
My Season Record: 7-6
