Summary:
At (7-1) Dallas has gotten off to one of their best starts in franchise history but keep in mind they have played the easiest schedule in the NFL (.369). A finally healthy Pittsburgh team should give Dallas a tough road test. Another week removed from injury Ben Roethlisberger should get back to again playing like an elite quarterback. Dallas is extremely difficult to beat without forcing turnovers as they possess the NFL’s leading rusher in rookie Ezekiel Elliott. The key to beating the Cowboys is to score early and force them to throw the ball. Dallas has the best offensive line in football so it will be interesting to see if Pittsburgh can create pressure with their exotic blitz packages. I like Pittsburgh to win a close one at home.
