4* BEST BET
Consider this: a month ago, the line on this game would have
been Lions -9. Since their Bye weeks, Detroit has gone 2-3 SU and
1-4 ATS, while Dallas is on a 3-0 SUATS winning streak heading
into this contest. That, my friend, shows how fickle NFL lines are
to adjustments. It’s a league that reacts to recent performance,
and the Cowboys have certainly done more than the Lions. It’s
time we give them their due. Dallas has beaten both of last
year’s Super Bowl teams, the Eagles and Chiefs, within five
days. Clearly, the Cowboys are playing their best football of
the season and remain in the NFC playoff picture (currently the
No. 9 seed). Our concern for Dallas tonight, though, is that the
Lions are 3-0 SUATS at home by an average win margin of more
than 15 PPG when coming off consecutive home games against
foes coming off an upset win as a dog. They are also 5-1 SU and
6-0 ATS facing sub-.666 opponents when coming off a game
against Green Bay. The Lions crushed Dallas 47-9 as 3.5-point
road favorites last year, and they’re laying the same number
here after a humiliating loss. You know what to do. And with
that, here’s THE CLINCHER: See this week’s TRIVIA TEASER
