Since Romo's return he has guided the Cowboys to three straight wins (all ATS). He was 22-of-34 for 331 yards on Thanksgiving Day in a 34-9 rout of Seattle that now has Dallas tied with Atlanta for the NFC's second wild-card spot.

Pittsburgh has also won three straight, and while its top-ranked defense has been largely responsible, so has some improved decision-making from Roethlisberger.

Pittsburgh, who is a 3-point fave, leads the NFL in scoring defense, total defense, and is No. 1 individually against the run and the pass.

The Cowboys have the NFL's ninth-best total defense, but they're just two sacks behind the Steelers' league-high total.
