The Chicago offense, led by quarterback Justin Fields, put up an amazing 33-14 victory on Monday night in Foxboro, cashing outright as touchdown underdogs in one of their best games of the season. The Bears fell behind the Patriots 14-10 midway through the second quarter before outscoring them 23-0 for the remainder of the game.
In Week 7, the Cowboys welcomed back quarterback Dak Prescott, although he struggled a bit in a 24-6 victory over the Detroit Lions. Dallas has won and covered the spread in five of its last six games overall and comes into this one poised to make it six of seven.
Let’s take a closer look at my NFL picks and three players I expect to make an impact on in Week 8.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears Best Player Prop Picks
Cole Kmet - Receiving Yards Under 20.5 (-110) (Bet $100 to Collect $190) Click here for the best odds available at BetMGM
With a career average of 10 yards per catch, Kmet is punching slightly above that this season, with 12.3 up to this point. After a slow start to the season, Kmet has been seeing a lot of action as of late, eclipsing 30 yards in two of his past three games.
Even still, Kmet’s average comes in right at this number (21.1), but I think the game plan against the Cowboys keeps his yards below 20 as the Bears focus on what’s got them to this point; the rushing game.
David Montgomery - Rushing Yards Over 46.5 (-103) (Bet $100 to Collect $197) Click here for the best odds available at Caesars
Now averaging over 180 yards per game, this Bears' rushing attack has become the best in the NFL. While QB Justin Fields has contributed quite a bit to that, Montgomery leads the way along with Khalil Herbert, who have combined for seven touchdowns on the season.Â
Now, they draw a Cowboys defense that, while great, does leave much to be desired in stopping the run. In this game, the Cowboys are allowing 120.1 yards per game on the ground to rank in the bottom 33% of the league. With the weather not being a factor this week at Jerry World, look for Montgomery to lead the way as the Bears run wild.Â
Anytime Touchdown Scorer - Tony Pollard (+150) (Bet $100 to Collect $250) Click here for the best odds available at Caesars
With starting Cowboys running back out of this one with an injury, RB2 Tony Pollard will undoubtedly see an uptick in looks. Luckily for the Cowboys, he now draws a Bears team allowing 149.7 rushing yards per game, amongst the worst in the league.
Adding to his ability to score, Pollard is great in the flat, and I expect the game plan to feature plenty of balls through the air to Pollard.
