Week 2 NFL picks for Bengals vs. Cowboys
Before you tune into Sunday’s Cowboys vs. Bengals game, you need to check out SportsLine’s advanced computer model NFL picks. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has won over $7,500 for $100 players with top-tier NFL picks since its inception. The model enters the second week of the 2022 NFL season with an incredible 139-98 run of top-flight NFL picks that stretches back to the 2017 season.
The model has also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch in four of the last six years with straight NFL picks, beating more than 94% of CBS Sports football pick ’em players four times in that span. Whoever followed it is way up.
For Bengals vs. Cowboys, the model supports the Cowboys (+7.5) to cover at home. Rush may be inexperienced, but he’s no newcomer to Dallas’ offensive system as this is his sixth season with the team. He also showed he can be a successful starting quarterback after hitting the road in Minnesota last year, throwing for 325 yards and two points in a win. He also has a strong running back duo with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard as the model predicts these two will run for 100 yards together on Sunday.
Dallas may have lost last week, but its defense showed itself, limiting an explosive Buccaneers offense to just 19 points after averaging 30 points a year ago. Micah Parsons twice defeated Tom Brady, and pass protection is Cincinnati’s greatest weakness. The Steelers harassed Burrow all game long with seven sacks while also prompting him to turn the ball over five times. The Cowboys led the NFL with 34 takeaways last season, so their defense should have the upper hand Sunday and keep this game closer than expected.
SportsLine’s model predicts the Dallas offense looking much better than last week and the Cowboys (+7.5) covering well over 50% of the simulations.
