The Philadelphia Eagles will be trying to stay undefeated on the season and extend their straight-up win streak to four games Sunday when they host the cross-state rival Pittsburgh Steelers as 3.5-point underdogs at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.

The Eagles ended up with a 7-9 record in 2015, but they finished strong with three SU and against the spread wins in their final five outings.

Rookie quarterback Carson Wentz impressed in Philadelphia’s wins over Cleveland and Chicago, and has yet to throw an interception going into Sunday afternoon’s Steelers vs. Eagles betting matchup at Lincoln Financial Field.

While Philadelphia dominated against the Browns and Bears, things get tougher against the undefeated Steelers, who are coming off a 24-16 win over Cincinnati as 3-point chalk. However, the Steelers are 0-3 SU and ATS in their past three visits to Philadelphia, and just 3-4 SU, 2-3-2 ATS, in their past seven on the road, according to the OddsShark NFL Database.

Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott, meanwhile, looks to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a second straight win when they host the fading Chicago Bears on Sunday night as 7.5-point chalk. Prescott powered Dallas to a 27-23 comeback win in Washington as a 3-point underdog last week, giving the Cowboys just their second win in their past 15 games without Tony Romo.

The Bears limp into Dallas after losing pivot Jay Cutler to a hand injury in their 29-14 loss to the Eagles. Chicago is now just 1-6 SU and ATS in its past seven games overall, but a solid 5-3 SU, 6-2 ATS, in its past eight games on the road.

Second-year quarterback Jameis Winston looks to regain his touch as he leads the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Los Angeles Rams as 5.5-point home chalk on Sunday. The Buccaneers followed up a 31-24 road win over Atlanta with an ugly 40-7 loss to Arizona in which Winston tossed four picks.

Tampa Bay is 3-3 SU and ATS in its past six games, but winless in its past four against the Rams, who knocked off Seattle by a 9-3 score in their return to Los Angeles last weekend.

The Redskins try to bounce back when they visit the New York Giants as 4.5-point Week 3 underdogs, while the struggling Buffalo Bills host the Cardinals as 4-point underdogs.

Washington is undefeated SU and ATS in its past three games on the road, but winless SU in its past four visits to New York, while the Giants have yet to cover in a pair of SU wins this season. The 0-2 Bills have topped Arizona in their past three visits, but face a Cardinals squad that went 7-1 SU on the road last season.
