In what could be a game of the week takes place in Dallas. The Detroit Lions fresh off a bye week head to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. The Cowboys are coming off a Sunday Night Football game victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cowboys are dealing with injuries on the defensive line and they have a tall order going up against the Lions. Below are my Lions at Cowboys Preview and Predictions.
Defensive injuries continue to be a concern for the Dallas Cowboys. As of Thursday, Trevon Diggs, Micah Parsons, and Eric Kendricks all did not practice. Furthermore, guard Nick Martin did not practice either as of Thursday. Last week, the Cowboys were able to get by with the injuries with a limited offense in the Steelers. However, this week they take on a high-powered offense in the Lions.
Meanwhile, the Lions coming off the bye week are healthy in this game. They were missing center Frank Ragnow but has been a full participant in practice this week. However, Lions safety Kerby Joseph comes into this game with a hamstring injury and has been a limited participant in practice.
Lions at Cowboys Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
Despite the Cowboys holding opposing teams to only 194.4 passing yards, this will be the best passing quarterback the Cowboys will have faced this season. We saw what the Ravens offense was able to do against the Cowboys early on and that was a game where the defense was healthy. Since the 2022 season, the Lions are 14-5 ATS (73.7%) on the road and are 6-2 ATS (75%) as road favorites.
I believe this will be a game where both offenses will be able to move the football. We have seen in multiple games this season that the Cowboys have gotten off to slow starts and have to play from behind. I believe there will be points put up in this game with these two offensive.
Best Bet: Lions/Cowboys Over 52
Player Prop Best Bet
Jameson Williams Longest Reception Over 21.5
The Lions’ offense is firing on all cylinders and is healthy. Jameson Williams is the speed receiver for this wide receiving group and the home run threat. Thus far this season, Williams is averaging 22.2 yards per catch and in the four games Williams has played, he’s recorded a catch of 50+ yards in three of games.
Lastly, the Cowboys have allowed a receiver to go over this projection every week except last week against the struggling Steelers offense. Expect another big play from Williams in this game down the field.
