Will the lions beat the cowboys SU??

It's a longshot but it could happen. The lions beat the cowboys last year in dallas straight up and they had only won 2 games up to that point. This time around it's in Detroit with the lions in the playoff hunt. I know Roy Williams is injured but I expect Calvin Johnson to step up and have a big game along with Mike Furrey and Shaun Mcdonald. Either way If Dallas wins I don't think they cover. Will wait it out for a better number though.. Thoughts and opinions are welcome..

After watching the lions the last four games , i really can't see it. I wasn't a believer at 6-2

I dont' see the Lions able to keep up with the pace of this game. Crayton should be healthy and that simply means to many options for the Detroit defense to handle.

I personally put 1/4 of my bankroll on Dalllas by 10 (bought 1/2 a point) . Now i know that isn't any indication of how the game will be played out , but if GB beat them at home, I see no reason for a ML bet on Detroit. However, if you are a strong believer, the + 10.5 might be worth a small play.

Deep down, I think it is much more likely for either SF, Pitt, Carolina or even Oakland to bust the spread. Plus, T. Newman is apparently pissed about Kitna's comment about their secondary.

Not a chance.

There is a better chance of a Cowboys 24+ point victory than the Lions winning. The Cowboys defensive front will eat up Detroits O-Line.

Porous Defense (Cowboys O is amazing), Horrible O-Line (Cowboys are blizting machines), No Running Game (Cowboys can stop 1 dimensional teams), and No Roy Williams (T-New only allowed about 3 TDs last year - 2 vs the Lions. - not this year)

Cowboys 37 - Lions 13

I see Dallas winning this one by at least 20. Lions are falling apart and it is getting worse every week.

I doubt Detroit has any chance of beating Dallas. Detroit is struggling and to beat Dallas, the Lions will need a miracle.

i only have two bets this week...no -4 and dallas -10.5, that'll let you know where i'm at for what it's worth.

Actually, I think the fact that the Lions upset the Cowboys last year is BAD for Detroit, as it will probably prevent Dallas from looking past them. Boys get their revenge here SU, but I am not betting a side.
