The Bears have a lot of their defensive backs on the injured list, and may have to turn to numerous inexperienced players to fill in. There is no word on whether Kyle Fuller will play this week or not. But, even if he does, this would be his first time seeing the field since the first preseason game, and with a lot of rust to knock off, it’s going to take a while for Fuller to get back in the groove of things.

On the flipside, this could be the breakout game Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has been waiting for since opening week. I think it’s also smart to mention that Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has yet to throw an interception in his first 75 career pass attempts.

Advantage: Cowboys
