Dallas will be getting Dak Prescott back in this game, but Cooper Rush played pretty well given the circumstances over the last few weeks. Detroit is coming off of a bye week, but New England blew them out before that. Detroit should get some players back from injury, but it won’t help their really bad defense. I like the over here.
