Lions vs. Cowboys betting preview, picks
Cowboys (+3) vs. Lions
You could provide an argument that the Cowboys have been the best team in the NFL over the last two weeks, simply from the teams they knocked off. Dallas defeated both teams that played in last year’s Super Bowl, defeating the Eagles, 24-21, in Week 12 and then the Chiefs, 31-28, on Thanksgiving. The Lions were the No. 1 seed in the NFC last season, but as we’ve seen recently, Dallas won’t be intimidated by playing a perceived top opponent. Dallas’ defense has significantly improved following its trade deadline moves, which included acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the Jets and linebacker Logan Wilson from the Bengals. The Cowboys are allowing 21.7 ppg since their bye week during a 3-0 stretch after allowing 30.8 ppg over their first nine contests. The model projects the Cowboys to cover in 50% of simulations, showing the better value is with Dallas while factoring in the possibility of a push.
Over 53.5 points
Thursday Night Football has seen many lower-scoring games this season, but this isn’t your typical TNF matchup. The Cowboys are the No. 2 scoring offense in the NFL at 29.3 ppg, with the Lions closely following in third at 29.2 ppg this season. Both sides feature elite, game-changing playmakers such as CeeDee Lamb, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jahmyr Gibbs with reliable quarterbacks in Dak Prescott and Jared Goff. St. Brown left Detroit’s Thanksgiving matchup in the first quarter with an ankle injury, so that’s a situation to monitor, but even without St. Brown, the Lions still scored 24 points against the Packers, who have the No. 5 scoring defense (18.8 ppg allowed) in the league. The Over is 3-1 when listed at more than 50 points in Cowboys games this season, including hitting last week against the Chiefs. The Over has also hit in four of the last five Lions games, as the model projects the Over to hit in 53% of simulations.
