Two Key Interconference Duals this Weekend!

Chicago at Pittsburgh - A pair of playoff contenders will get together on Sunday at Heinz Field when Pittsburgh hosts Chicago at 1:00 PM ET. The Bears are leading the NFC North Division, the Steelers have their sights set on the Wildcard in the AFC. StatFox is showcasing this contest as its FREE NFL FoxSheet of the week. Oddsmakers give Pittsburgh the edge in this one, as after opening as a 4-point favorite, the Steelers have ballooned to 6-point chalk.

The Steelers suffered a critical home defeat last week at the hands of Cincinnati. With the division lead on the line, the Bengals potent offense ravaged the Steelers defense for 38 points, thanks in large part to four turnovers. Facing a two-game deficit for the division lead now, Pittsburgh's only realistic shot at the playoffs is the Wildcard, where it currently trails both San Diego and Kansas City by a game for the last playoff position. Meanwhile, Chicago has been on fire winning eight straight games while going 6-1-1 ATS. The Bears defense in on record pace, having allowed just 10.6 PPG. However, this team looks very vulnerable without a semblance of an offense as that unit is gaining just 255 yards per game and 4.5 yards per play. In fact, despite the 9-3 record, Chicago is actually being outgained by opponents!

Kansas City at Dallas - A must win game for both teams on Sunday pits the Kansas City Chiefs against the Dallas Cowboys. Kickoff is set for 4:15 PM on CBS, live from Texas Stadium. The Chiefs are currently tied for the last AFC playoff spot with San Diego. Dallas meanwhile, is tied with Minnesota and Atlanta for the same spot in the NFC. Both of these teams have difficult schedules remaining, so coming out of this game with a victory is essential.
