Lions at Cowboys
(NFL) Lions (DET) vs. Cowboys (DAL),
Point Spread: 3.50 | -118.00 Cowboys (DAL) (Home)
Result: Loss
For the first time this season, we see some light at the end of the tunnel for the Cowboys, as it was to squeeze gut out a couple of wins on the road at the Giants and Steelers just when the season looked to be going in the wrong direction. Specifically, Dak Prescott, who led a dramatic game-ending drive in Pittsburgh, converting a 4th down TD pass in the final seconds, to pull that game out of the fire. Keep in mind that the Cowboys also beat the Lions in the penultimate week last season by a 20-19 count in Arlington. Detroit believes it got back on course in the recent Monday night track meet vs. the Seahawks but they generally haven't had an easy time of it this season, and the Cowboys defense appears to be getting the hang of Mike Zimmer's concepts after some September struggles.
