The Dallas Cowboys (4-2) welcome QB Dak Prescott back to the starting lineup this week when they host the Detroit Lions (1-4) on Sunday. Kickoff from AT&T Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Lions are coming off a Week 6 bye seeking to snap a 3-game losing streak. Despite being blown out by the New England Patriots 29-0 in Week 5, Detroit is 3rd in the NFL in scoring and 2nd in yards per game, but the defense ranks last in both categories. The Lions have allowed at least 27 points in each of their 5 games.
The Cowboys survived Prescott’s 5-game absence, going 4-1 with Cooper Rush at QB. They did lose to the Philadelphia Eagles 26-17 last week, which was Rush’s 1st career loss as a starter. Prescott is officially back after missing 5 games with a thumb injury to lead an offense that ranks 23rd in scoring.
