This matchup comes with tightly contested betting odds. The Lions are slight underdogs despite a better record, which could intrigue savvy bettors looking for value. The total is set at 50.5, indicating expectations of a high-scoring affair, aligning with recent trends from both teams.
Jared Goff vs. Dak Prescott
The Detroit Lions’ Jared Goff has put his best foot forward during the last four games, achieving 1,015 passing yards and making 71% of his throws. This gritty performer has proved capable of making the long throws, making 70-yard passes and maintaining a normal passer rating of 95.3 despite being sacked seven times. Jared Goff’s work will be interesting to explore, especially against a Dallas Cowboys team whose defense has been underperforming lately.
However, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys holds the edge regarding passing yards, having amassed 1,424 yards with a 65.4% completion rate over five appearances. Even after taking 12 sacks, Prescott still keeps calm in the game and has a passer rating of 92.9. He also needs to be able to hit some of those intermediate throws to take advantage of some of the weaknesses in the Lions’ defense.

Gibbs has burst onto the scene with 285 rushing yards at an impressive average of 5.3 yards per carry, proving to be a critical playmaker with his speed and agility. Williams complements this ground attack through the air, tallying 289 receiving yards on just 13 receptions, highlighting his big-play ability with an average of 22.2 yards per reception.
Dallas’s Balanced Offensive Threat
The Cowboys counter with Rico Dowdle and CeeDee Lamb. Although Dowdle’s rushing stats aren’t as flashy, averaging 4.1 yards per carry, his consistent performance provides Dallas with a stable ground game. CeeDee Lamb, a standout receiver, has accumulated 378 yards over 25 receptions. His knack for pulling off significant gains is evident, and his role will be crucial in Dallas’s strategy to break down the Lions’ secondary.
