The Detroit Lions will face the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday at 4:25 PM ET. These two teams are looking to establish themselves in the NFC playoff picture, and both squads bring potent offenses and formidable defenses.
The Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff and the standout duo of running backs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, have been a force to reckon with this season. Their offense, averaging 26 points per game, is supported by a dynamic receiving corps that includes Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions’ defense has also stepped up significantly, making this a dogfight in Dallas.
The Cowboys, under Dak Prescott’s leadership, have shown flashes of brilliance this season, yet fans are hoping to get more out of their $240M quarterback.
They are bolstered by a strong defense spearheaded by Micah Parsons. After back-to-back losses early in the season, the Cowboys are looking to continue their bounce-back and make it three straight wins.
Currently, the Cowboys are underdogs. They are +3 on the spread and +145 on the moneyline. Over the past two years, AT&T has been a fortress for the Cowboys. They only lost one game at home in 2022 and didn’t lose a single home game last season.
Homefield advantage hasn’t been great this season. The Cowboys have already lost at home twice. With a loss this weekend will be the first time since 2021 that they have lost three or more games at home in a single season.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) thinks the play here is Dallas +3:
“I wish we would’ve seen a bit more 3.5 value out there. Getting 3.5 points with Dallas at home seems like something I could get down with. This Dallas team is not as strong defensively as in years past. However, they are on a roll, and Dak Prescot is playing some good football. This could also be a classic lookahead spot for the Lions as they travel to their undefeated divisional rivals, Minnesota Vikings, next weekend.”
