With Eddie Goldman’s knee injury, Chicago’s rotation along the defensive line will be a bit thin. In addition, the absence of Danny Trevathan will leave a big hole in the linebacking corps, putting a lot of pressure on Jerrell Freeman to lead the charge in stopping the run. Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliot has found the end zone in each of his first two games, and could continue that trend this Sunday night. Prescott is an elusive runner, and could pick up big chunks of yardage on the ground as well. Dallas’ rookie duo could make Chicago’s 22^nd ranked run defense look even worse.

Advantage: Cowboys
