The Chicago Bears will try to pick up their first win of the season on Sunday when they play host to the Dallas Cowboys.
For my Cowboys vs. Bears anytime touchdown scorer picks, I expect Javonte Williams to keep his hot start going, while the Bears spread the ball around more in the passing game.
Let’s take a look at my free NFL picks for Sunday, September 21.

Cowboys anytime touchdown pick
Javonte Williams (-120 at FanDuel)
The Dallas Cowboys could do just about anything they wanted against the Giants’ offense in Week 2, but it was Javonte Williams who was the standout performer against the Eagles in Week 1.
Overall, the Dallas running back already has three scores on the year, having rushed for 151 yards in Dallas’ first two games. Williams is essentially the full-time starter, so we don’t have to worry about how many touches he’ll get against the Chicago Bears.
The Bears have been awful against the run so far this year, allowing opponents to average 5.3 yards per play in their first two games. When the ball gets near the goal line, it’ll be Williams who keeps getting the opportunity to find paydirt.
Bears anytime touchdown pick
DJ Moore (+170 at FanDuel)
So far this season, it’s been the Rome Odunze show when it comes to the Chicago passing game. The 2024 first-round pick has all three receiving touchdowns for the Bears this year, and Odunze also leads the team in receptions, targets, and yards.
That’s great for Odunze, but it’s hardly a sustainable pattern for the Bears if they want to win some games. That means someone else needs to step up as a reliable option for Caleb Williams, and DJ Moore is the most likely candidate to fill that role.
It’s not as though Moore has been ignored in the passing game this year, picking up eight catches for 114 yards so far in 2025. He’s also been a fairly consistent scorer in the passing game over the last few years of his career, scoring 21 touchdowns in the past three seasons, including 14 TDs in two years for Chicago.
Dallas hasn’t been great against the pass, surrendering 8.8 yards per attempt and a staggering 76.6% completion rate. This might be just the matchup that allows Williams to relax a bit and spread the ball around to his full complement of receivers.
