Bengals vs. Cowboys NFL picks for Week 2
Before watching Sunday’s Cowboys-Bengals game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer models. This model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has earned over $7,500 for a $100 player on the highest-rated NFL pick since its inception. This model is the highest-rated NFL pick dating back to the 2017 season, entering Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season with an incredible 139-98 run.
The model has also ranked in NFLPickWatch’s top 10 NFL picks over the past six years, beating out over 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that period. Anyone who followed it is on top.
For Bengals vs. Cowboys, the model favors the Cowboys (+7.5) for home coverage. Rush may be inexperienced, but it’s his sixth season with the team, so he’s no novice when it comes to Dallas’ offensive plans. He also showed he could be a winning starting quarterback after being on the road last year in Minnesota, throwing for 325 yards and scoring two points in the win. He has a strong running back his duo with Tony Pollard.
Dallas may have lost last week, but that defense showed up and limited the Buccaneers’ explosive offense to just 19 points, up from an average of 30 a year ago. Protection is Cincinnati’s biggest weakness. The Steelers harassed Barrow all game with his seven-sack tone while he turned the ball over five times. The Cowboys led his NFL with 34 takeaways last season, so their defense should take the lead on Sunday and bring this game closer than expected.
SportsLine’s model predicts the Dallas offense to look much better than it did last week, with the Cowboys (+7.5) covering over 50% of the simulation.
