Exclamation Detroit at Dallas -2 who covers? - let's discuss

Lions 2nd straight on the road but probably toughest test so far.

Cowboys beat up off short week. Kind of lean Cowboys as of now.

What you think will happen?

Who covers?

on paper, and what weve seen looks like an easy lions cover, might be a trap

Lowest points spread between these two teams going back to 2005.

Yeah but I think that's going to be the case on most Detroit games this year.

Too tough to touch. Both DLs are going to be all over Stafford & Romo. Ware is going to eat up Backus. Cherilus on the other side is weak as well. But on the other hand Dallas' WR corps is a mess. They don't even know where to line up half of the time. You won't see any ball control long drives in this game! ...I love this on a teaser though. Lions +8 & under 53 is the only way I'd touch this.

actually, Detroit will be going for their 5th straight road win, 2 this season and the last 2 last year.

Detroit at Dallas last year was Dallas -5, and that was with a QB who didn't have a rib fracture and wasn't missing their top receiver.

In spite of the Final score, Detroit had the stats in the game

Detroit gets this done...ML bet
