I believe the Bears will respond better with Brian Hoyer under center than Jay Cutler, who isn't a popular teammate. The Bears have more talent than their 0-2 record indicates.

The Bears did suffer multiple injuries on defense in their Monday night upset loss to the Eagles, but Dallas also is thin defensively due to injuries and multiple suspensions.

The Cowboys' offense is limited by rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, who hasn't proven he can scare defenses when throwing downfield. Dallas is 2-14 the past 16 times Tony Romo hasn't played.

The Bears should play extremely hard with their season already in deep peril at 0-2 and off an embarrassing Monday night home loss.

The Cowboys have a terrible track record as a home favorite failing to cover 12 of the past 14 times in that role going back to the middle of 2013.
