American Football is back with the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers due to both travel to a neutral field at Tom Benson Stadium for the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night. Whether you’re playing with the black and gold “America’s Team” or just watching without a dog in the fight, this is officially the preseason kickoff we’ve all been waiting for. The Steelers are still hoping for one last Super Bowl run with 39-year-old gunslinger Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback, while the Cowboys are eager to get a look at the team after signing Dak Prescott to a four-year, $160 million contract.

Why bet on Dallas Cowboys?
Undoubtedly, the Dallas Cowboys are on the offense, especially when quarterback Dak Prescott was healthy during 2020; he elevated the performance of the team’s offense. Unfortunately, he could only do so for five games before suffering a dislocated ankle that ended his season. The 28-year-old, who threw for 1,856 yards, contributed nine touchdowns, and had four interceptions during the last campaign, is fit to play, and fans are excited.
Why bet on Pittsburgh Steelers?
Pittsburgh Steelers will face a new season with 39-year-old Ben Roethlisberger as starting quarterback. In 2020 they began with an 11-0 record, but the level declined, and they finished the regular season with a 1-4 record. In addition, they were eliminated in the wild card round at the hands of the Cleveland Browns. Now they are going for revenge, will they be able to?
Final betting analysis between: Dallas Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers’ offensive line is something to watch during this game. It could raise the stakes of the quarterback competition behind Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers veteran quarterback’s broken body is held together by his sheer will to keep playing. It’s tough to go against the team with that kind of experience at the quarterback position. Not to mention they will be facing a Cowboys defense that is still trying things out with new players and a brand new defensive coordinator.
Unlike Dallas, Pittsburgh had one of the best defensive teams in the league last season. Their defensive front reveled in the fears of opposing quarterbacks like Pennywise the Dancing Clown. That energy runs through the roster and will continue to show up in a big way against an inexperienced quarterback room for the Cowboys. We think the Steelers will win in the first preseason game.
