    Two of the most traditional teams in the NFL square off on Sunday night.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers come into their home clash with the Dallas Cowboys with a better record compared to the NFC East side.

    Pittsburgh is off a surprising 3-1 start behind Justin Fields, and Sunday will serve as a tremendous test for where its offense stands.

    Dallas' defense faced some questions after two high point concessions in Weeks 2 and 3.

    The Cowboys rebounded last Thursday against the New York Giants, but they still only squeezed out that victory by five points.

    Sunday could serve as a statement-making game for the Cowboys as they begin an important October that includes clashes with the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers.

    Spread: Pittsburgh (-3)

    Over/Under: 44

    Money Line: Pittsburgh (-148; bet $148 to win $100); Dallas (+124; bet $100 to win $124)

    Dallas is only 1-3 against the spread this season.

    The Cowboys are an underdog for the third time. They won outright against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 in their only cover of the point spread.

    Pittsburgh is 3-1 ATS with all three of its covers coming in victories.

    The over/under of 44 is the highest total set for a Steelers game in 2024, and despite the low totals, they are 3-1 to the under.

    Meanwhile, Dallas is 3-1 to the over, and if the total remains at 44, it will be the second-lowest over/under for any Cowboys game this season.

    CeeDee Lamb Over/Under 6.5 Receptions & Over/Under 76.5 Receiving Yards

    The combination of Dallas not having a great rushing game and Pittsburgh being strong on the defensive interior sets up for a heavy dose of CeeDee Lamb on Sunday night.

    That is usually always the case in Cowboys games, but this one in particular could feature Lamb as the shining star.

    Lamb is coming off his best all-around pass-catching performance in Week 4, where he had seven receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown.

    The targets will always be there for Lamb, but before Week 4, the catches were not as consistent as they should be. He had 13 receptions in the first three weeks.

    Pittsburgh's defensive weakness is in the secondary. That unit allowed 358 passing yards in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4.

    Jake Ferguson Over/Under 4.5 Receptions & Over/Under 46.5 Receiving Yards

    Jake Ferguson will be Dak Prescott's No. 2 option in the Dallas passing game on Sunday night.

    Brandin Cooks is out injured and Jalen Tolbert has not been consistent enough yet to call a true No. 2 option with Cooks out.

    Ferguson has been targeted on 18 occasions in the last two weeks. He caught all seven of his targets against the Giants.

    Ferguson went over the reception and receiving yard props set for Sunday night's game in each of the last two games.

    The over on both props is very much in play on Sunday night, especially if Dallas has to do most of its work through the air.

    George Pickens Over/Under 4.5 Receptions & Over/Under 53.5 Receiving Yards

    George Pickens could be involved in a duel of No. 1 wide receivers with Lamb.

    Pittsburgh's top pass-catching target is coming off a seven-catch, 113-yard performance against the Colts.

    Despite those high numbers, Pickens' props are set at 4.5 receptions and 53.5 receiving yards.

    The Cowboys had trouble containing Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson last Thursday in their win over the Giants, and even with Trevon Diggs matched up with Pickens, the Steelers' top target could have a strong Sunday night.

    Pickens leads the Steelers in all major receiving categories and should once again see a heavy target rate from Fields.

    Najee Harris Over/Under 68.5 Rushing Yards

    Najee Harris has been right around the 70-yard mark in three of his four games this season.

    The Pittsburgh running back recorded totals of 70, 69 and 70 rushing yards to start the campaign before the Colts held him to 19 yards on 13 carries last week.

    Dallas' defense has had some bad outings against the run. It allowed 274 ground yards to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3 and gave up 190 rushing yards the week prior to the New Orleans Saints.

    Micah Parsons' absence should benefit all parties in the Pittsburgh offense, and if the Steelers can create holes early against a susceptible Dallas defense, Harris could be right around the 70-yard mark again on Sunday.
