What Should We Think About the Cowboys?
The Cowboys come into this game with a 3-2 record, and they have won two games straight, but the last two games haven’t been exactly dominant. Two games ago against the New York Giants, they won 20-15 and in the last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they lost 20-17. It was Jalen Tolbert who scored the touchdown with under a minute left to take the lead and secured the victory. He finished the game with seven catches for 87 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Dak Prescott completed 29 of his 42 passes for 352 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. The best thing to come out of the game was getting Rico Dowdle going and he finished with 87 yards. He also caught a touchdown.
The Cowboys on the season are averaging 23.4 points, while their defense is giving up 24.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 15th in the league while the defense is ranked 23rd in football. In this game, if the Cowboys want to find success, the defense is going to need to step up.
Lions Look for Third Straight Win
The Lions are looking for their third straight win after beating the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks in the last game. The Lions defense gave up 29 points to the Seahawks but the offense scored 42 points on the way to the victory. Jared Goff had a perfect game completing all 18 of his attempts for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs also finished with 14 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
The Lions on the season are averaging 26 points while their defense is giving up 20.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 7th in the league while the defense is ranked 10th in the league. In this game, the Lions’ defense is going to need to be better than they were in the last game against the Seahawks.
Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions Prediction
The Cowboys and Lions are both going to find offensive success here. The Lions scored 42 points in the last game, but the defense was awful giving up 29 points and their defense is going to be better here. Jared Goff is going to find success through the air but so is Dak Prescott and he’s going to have a huge game here. Look for neither team to play any sort of defense here, and this game is going to go over the total.
