NFL Week 8 First Touchdown Scorer Picks & Predictions: Bears vs. Cowboys
Chicago Bears @ Dallas Cowboys
Tony Pollard
Odds: +450 via BetMGM
The Cowboys will likely be without Ezekiel Elliott this weekend since he has missed practice all week. Pollard should receive an increased workload this week against a team ranked close to last in rushing yards allowed. They have also allowed 10 rushing TDs this season, which ties Seattle for the third most. The Bears are weak against the run and slot receivers, so that is the position to attack. Pollard is averaging 5.6 yards per carry this season as the change of pace back alongside Elliott. As the main guy, he should see multiple targets and more carries.
