Why Bet The Under:
✅ In this game featuring contrasting styles, the Cowboys’ defensive style is going to win out. Dallas has the number four scoring defense in the NFL this season, and their ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks will cause huge problems for a Lions team that ranks third in the NFL in scoring offense through Week 6.

✅ There is the potential for some offensive woes for the Cowboys heading into this contest. They are likely to bring Dak Prescott back for this contest at quarterback after he sat out for five straight games following a thumb injury. There is the potential for some rust from Prescott as he gets back to live game action.
✅ Through five games this season, the Dallas Cowboys have gone 1-4 on the over/under line this season. While some of that has had to do with their quarterback situation, more of it is a result of their stout defense holding opponents in check, which will continue here.
Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions enjoyed their bye week in Week 6, which came at a great time after how much they struggled early in the season. Detroit is 1-4 on the year thus far, and their defense has been incredibly porous, having given up a league-worst 34 points per game. After a week off, the Lions will look to get back on track defensively to be more competitive in the remainder of their season.
For this game, the defense of the Lions will be a priority, but their offense will be a huge key as well. Detroit has to protect Jared Goff in this game, as a failure to do so will result in their signal caller having a long day.
Dallas Cowboys
In Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys entered with high hopes, as they had a chance to move to 5-1 by beating the Philadelphia Eagles. But they got off to a slow start and were unable to come back against the undefeated Eagles. That was the first loss for Cooper Rush as a starting quarterback in the NFL, in what could be Rush’s final start for the Cowboys this season.
It is possible that Dak Prescott comes back for this Week 7 contest against the Lions. Prescott has not seen the field since Week 1 against the Buccaneers. How he comes out in his first action since then will be a huge indicator as to how this game goes for Dallas.
