Lions at Cowboys tips and predictions

forecast

Lions 30, Cowboys 24

Money line

HAPPEN.

The Cowboys are America’s team and should be a popular choice on both the money line and the spread as home underdogs. However, the Lions should be the only player here. But they are too expensive to play on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET LIONS -3 (-115).

The Cowboys’ defensive strength lies in the passing game, ranking 11th with 271 yards allowed per game. They are also in the top 12 when it comes to opponents’ completion percentage, but the Lions don’t pass the ball often and are in the bottom 7 in pass percentage.

With Parsons out, Detroit should berate the Cowboys on the ground. Dallas is 0-2 at home and 0-2 ATS at home. The Lions are 3-1 ATS and 1-0 ATS on the road this season. They are 3-0 ATS as favorites to score a touchdown or less.

Take LIONS -3 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 52.5 (-110).

The Cowboys will need to score frequently in this game to keep pace. They scored 20 points or more in 4 of 5 games and went over in 3 of 5 games. Dallas played well defensively, but their best defensive player will be missing in this contest.

The Lions went down in their first three games of the season, but scored 20 points in two of those three games. They scored 42 points against the Seahawks before their bye and enter this game both healthy and rested. Detroit has scored 31 PPG in its last two games.

In this case there should be enough points. Take OVER 52.5 (-110).
