Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions
by Kris Lazaro
12/8/07
The surging Dallas Cowboys will hook up against the pathetic Detroit Lions this Sunday as 11 point road favorites at Ford Field. After a promising start, the Lions have now sputtered to a 6-6 straight up record and have now lost 4 games in a row. The author does not see the Lions taking this game, for the Boys’ offensive line is much too big to penetrate and quarterback Tony Romo is having a great year.
The Cowboys quickness should give them many opportunities to score in this matchup. The ‘Boys have a 4-1 ATS record on the road, while going 5-0 in those contests. Wide receiver Terrel Owens has been a great addition to this Cowboys offense, and one of Romo’s favorite targets. America’s team has now been a betting favorite among sports bettors, but the author suggests to not go against this team for right now. They are playing on a whole new level, and the author will not be surprised if Dallas wipes the astro-turf with the Lions’ jersey this Sunday.
Detroit has suddenly experienced a free fall. Their last game was an abomination, scoring only 10 points against a stout Minnesota Vikings defense and allowing 42 points in the contest. Lions quarterback Jon Kitna needs to go back to his game plan before going on this losing streak, and he must fully rely on his defense to set up situations for him to score. Detroit has historically choked at the end of the season—and while this season does not look any different, the author feels that if Detroit is going to make a stand this season, it must start this Sunday and carry over to the next.
The author predicts a complete rout. There is no other team in the NFL, except for the Cowboys and the Patriots, who can claim supremacy over other NFL teams. With such a big line of 11 points on the road, the author suggest playing Dallas –11.
Game prediction: 52-26 Dallas.
