5 minDetroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys Prediction, Pick Against the Spread, Latest Odds
The Dallas Cowboys will host the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon.
Detriot pulls into this game with a 3-1 record. The Lions entered the season with the best odds of winning the NFC North and one of the favorites to win the NFC. Dan Campbell and company snapped a three-decade curse of not winning a playoff game lead last year.
Two weeks ago on Monday Night Football, the Lions used a strong offensive performance to beat the Seahawks 42-29. The Lions' lone loss came in Week 2 against the Buccaneers, when they lost 20-16.
Today will be the second road game of the season for the Lions. A win today is crucial for the Lions to keep pace with the first-place Minnesota Vikings.
