The Detroit Lions host the Dallas Cowboys for an exciting Thursday Night Football clash. This Lions vs Cowboys team features two offensive juggernauts colliding which also features an elite quarterback matchup between Detroit’s Jared Goff and Dallas’ Dak Prescott.
The Lions have struggled heavily as of recent, after a hot to start to the season. They are 3-4 in their last seven matchups, and dropped majority of the games against playoff bound teams. With the playoffs fast approaching, they sit third at NFC North and are on pace to miss out on the playoffs, making this and the remaining matchups extremely important for them.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys are coming off two impressive win against the Eagles and the Chiefs, being 6-5-1 for the season. However, their playoff chances are still up in the air, and with 5-game remaining, including this game, they will need this win against the Lions to keep their playoff chances alive.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Jahmyr Gibbs over 35.5 receiving yards | -114 | -118 |
| Dak Prescott over 0.5 interceptions | -138 | -150 |
| Jared Goff under 32.5 passing attempts | -132 | -110 |
Jahmyr Gibbs over 35.5 receiving yards is a great bet as he has 170 yards in the last three games, and 19 receptions. He has been a go-to target for Jared Goff and had an incredible game against the Eagles with a 107 yards performance. Looking at the Cowboys’ 30th ranked passing defense, Gibbs may cross 35.5 yards again.
Dak Prescott over 0.5 interceptions is a great bet as he’s totaled 8 interceptions this season, with 5 interceptions in the last 5 games. The Lions have 9 interceptions this season and with the Lions’ strong pass rush, Prescott may throw risky passes resulting in an interception.
Jared Goff has 7 games under 32.5 passing attempts this season, and has trended towards volume only when he’s going up against strong defense. While improved in the recent weeks, the Cowboys are still one of the worst defenses in the league, and we expect the Lions to use a run-heavy approach to exploit the Lions, and with WR Amon-Ra St. Brown uncertain, this is a safe bet.
We expect the Cowboys to pull off an upset and win the game. With the way the Lions have played in the recent stretch, going 3-4 in their last 7 and their recent loss to the Packers, we expect the Cowboys to outscore them. Dallas has all the momentum they need, beating the Eagles and Chiefs, and they should be able to pull off a win in a high scoring game.
Prediction: Cowboys win the game 35-31
