NFL - Lions @ Cowboys
(NFL) Detroit vs. Dallas,
Point Spread: -5.00 | -110.00 Dallas (Home)
Result: Loss
Dallas. At home. Laying less than a TD. The odds this season say there is an 100% chance they cover this number (they have in all the home games this season) and coming off bad back to back losses to Miami and Buffalo, this is the bounceback game they've been waiting for. Lions are 11-4 and have won the division (really feels like a Superbowl achievement for them, ending that drought) but this game with show if they are truly ready for playoff football. Barely beating Nick Mullens in Minnesota last week (allowed 24 points), losing in Chicago to the Bears before that (28 points allowed), barely beating the Saints in New Orleans before that (28 points allowed), barely beating the Chargers in LA before that (38 points allowed) and lastly getting STOMPED by Baltimore in Baltimore before that (38 points allowed). This is a recipe for disaster if you're a lions fan, and I expect Dallas to put up 28+ points here like everyone else has when the Lions come to anyone's town. This Detroit defense is heading in the wrong direction though it's been masked with them winning the majority of games, and having to rely on Goff to carry this team to victory vs another top flight team is not what I want to put my money on. Dan Campbell also makes very questionable calls, going for it consistently on fourth down and it often backfires on him and I assume he will attempt in this game once Dallas builds a 10 point lead or more. Lions really need CJ Gardner Johnson back, but he's not returning yet and is probably being held out further to be healthy for the soon-coming playoff run. Dallas all day for me, especially with a spread less than a TD.
