The Detroit Lions had a bye for NFL Week 6, but they will return to action with a
Sunday trip to AT&T Stadium to take on the Dallas Cowboys
. The Cowboys carry a 4-2 record, while the Lions are just 1-4, so Dan Campbell and company will try to pick up a win this week to jump-start their season.
The bad news for Detroit is that starting QB Dak Prescott is set to return for Dallas,
so our experts made an early Lions vs. Cowboys prediction with odds provided by Caesars Sportsbook.
The Dallas Cowboys welcome the Detroit Lions to town this weekend,
and our experts’ early Lions vs. Cowboys prediction is for the game to finish with over 48 points.
The Lions are 1-4 this season, but they’ve averaged 28.0 points per game (third in NFL).
The bigger issue is their defense, which allows 34.0 PPG and 167.6 rushing yards per game (both last in the NFL).
We don’t anticipate that one week on bye will immediately fix Detroit’s defensive issues,
and positive injury news for Dallas could be detrimental to the Lions’ chances Sunday.
The Lions are 1-4 this season, but they’ve averaged 28.0 points per game (third in NFL).
