Chicago Bears vs Dallas Cowboys Preview, Betting Odds, and Predictions for the 2025-26 NFL Season Week 3

The Dallas Cowboys take a trip north to Chicago as they go up against the Bears in their week 3 matchup. The Cowboys are just coming off a 40-37 overtime win over the New York Giants, whereas the Bears’ most recent game was a 52-21 blowout loss to the divisional rivals, the Detroit Lions.

Recommended bets and updated odds

Recommended Bets	FanDuel	BetMGM
Javonte Williams anytime TD scorer	-120	-129
Total points – Over 50.5	-110	-109
Dak Prescott 250+ passing yards	-166	-165

Analysis and Rationale

Dallas Cowboys’ running back Javonte Williams already has 3 rushing touchdowns in the first two games of the season. That makes us think there is a good chance he could get into the endzone at least once against the Bears in this week 3 matchup.

The over 50.5 might seem like a big ask, but one thing to note is that both defenses have had their troubles. While the Lions dropped 52 on the Bears in week 2, the Giants took the Cowboys to overtime after scoring 37 points. There is a good chance this game turns into a score fest.

Our last recommendation is Dak Prescott passing for over 250 yards. So far, Prescott is one of the top passers in terms of average yards per game. Couple that with a Bears’ defense that is allowing nearly 210 passing yards from two games, and Prescott’s chances at eclipsing the 250 mark look good.

Chicago Bears vs Dallas Cowboys Preview

Chicago began its regular season with plenty of hope after an offseason spent on improving the offensive line. So far, though, all hope has been dashed as the Bears find themselves at 0-2 with two gut-wrenching losses.

It hasn’t been all roses for Dallas either. Having played two divisional opponents, the Cowboys showed great heart going toe-to-toe against the defending Super Bowl champs, despite the loss. However, their game against the Giants has left much to be desired.

Week 3 Bears vs Cowboys Predictions for NFL 2025-26

Predicting a winner in this game is not as easy as it looks. If Dallas scored 40 points against New York, they also gave up 37, and if Dak Prescott had 361 passing yards in week 2, Russell Wilson took the Cowboys apart with 450 of his own.

But don’t worry, because the Bears blew a 4th quarter lead in week 1 against the Vikings in what was J.J. McCarthy’s debut game, and then proceeded to get manhandled by the Lions in week 2. The game is more of a toss-up, but we like Prescott and his weapons more than Caleb Williams and his offensive production in this one.

Our Prediction: Cowboys to win and cover the spread
