Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions Prediction
The Lions have bounced back from every loss this season, so there’s still hope for them. The problem is, the Lions are losing games they’ve won in the past, and this just doesn’t feel like the same Lions from recent seasons. The offense isn’t as explosive, the defense has been shaky, and there are a lot of key players on that injury report. The Cowboys have turned things around with three straight wins, which includes back-to-back wins over the two teams that played in last season’s Super Bowl. The offense is humming, and the defense has improved.
I don’t want to write off the Lions just yet, but this does feel like the Cowboys are in better form and have the momentum heading into this contest. The Cowboys have covered 8 of their last 10 games as an underdog, and five of those covers were outright wins. I like the Cowboys to win this one as well. Give me the points.
