Betting Trends for vs
The road team has dominated the number between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions as they have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 meetings. The health of Matt Stafford is still in the air, but even if he plays, I still like the Dallas Cowboys in this spot. Dallas has one of the best offenses in the NFL as Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper have formed one of the best duos in the NFL while Ezekiel Elliot is tearing up defenses. Detroit is also down to their 3rd-string RB which will allow the Dallas defense to key in on the Lions pass game, and they have the pass rush with DeMarcus Lawrence and Jaylen Smith to cause problems. I expect Ezekiel Elliot to have a much better game as he was held to 47 rushing yards against the Vikings, and he will help control the clock for a slight Cowboys road win. Final Score Prediction, Dallas Cowboys win and cover ATS 28-20.
