The Detroit Lions had a bye for NFL Week 6, but they will return to action with a Sunday trip to AT&T Stadium to take on the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys carry a 4-2 record, while the Lions are just 1-4, so Dan Campbell and company will try to pick up a win this week to jump-start their season.
The bad news for Detroit is that starting QB Dak Prescott is set to return for Dallas, so our experts made an early Lions vs. Cowboys prediction with odds provided by Caesars Sportsbook.

The Dallas Cowboys welcome the Detroit Lions to town this weekend, and our experts early Lions vs. Cowboys prediction is for the game to finish with over 48 points. The Lions are 1-4 this season, but theyve averaged 28.0 points per game (third in NFL).
The bigger issue is their defense, which allows 34.0 PPG and 167.6 rushing yards per game (both last in the NFL). We dont anticipate that one week on bye will immediately fix Detroits defensive issues, and positive injury news for Dallas could be detrimental to the Lions chances Sunday.
Dallas QB Dak Prescott is determined to play Sunday according to Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones. The expectation is that Prescott will be ready to roll, which will be a big boost for the Cowboys offense. Dallas is currently averaging 18.3 PPG (23rd in NFL) and 182 passing yards per game (27th in NFL), but Prescott would immediately improve those numbers.

The Lions havent held an opponent to fewer than 28 points this season, so we predict the Cowboys will contribute close to 30 points on their own. As good as the Cowboys defense has been this season, we dont think theyll completely slow down Detroit.
The Lions were shut out by the New England Patriots 29-0 before their bye week, and we think its highly unlikely theyll put up a dud again. Detroit dropped 35 points on Philadelphia (sixth in scoring defense) and 24 against the Minnesota Vikings (12th in scoring defense) prior to that Patriots loss.
The Cowboys should also light up Detroits defense, and we anticipate Sundays contest to be very high scoring. Therefore, our Lions vs. Cowboys prediction is for the game to finish with over 48 points, and you can fade or follow this prediction with first bet insurance worth up to $1,250 courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook.

The Detroit Lions are +7 underdogs with -110 odds against the Dallas Cowboys, who are -7 favorites at an identical -110 price at Caesars Sportsbook. The game total (over/under) for the matchup is 48, and like the point spread, both sides carry -110 odds.
An $11 bet on over 48 returns $10 of profits if there are 49 points or more scored in the game, while an $11 stake on the under returns $10 of winnings if there are 47 points or fewer. If the game ends with exactly 48 points, both sides of the total will push, and all wagers are refunded.
The Lions and Cowboys dont often meet, but Dallas has dominated this matchup in recent years. The Cowboys are 17-12 against the Lions overall, but theyve won nine of the last 12 matchups, and we anticipate more of the same this weekend. Dallas pass rush is one of the best in the NFL, and LB Micah Parsons should cause issues for Detroits offensive line.
Overall, our best bet and Lions vs. Cowboys prediction is over 48 points, but you can back Dallas on the money line at DraftKings Sportsbook. If the Cowboys win by any amount, youll win an additional $200 in free bets. If this sounds like a great offer to you, click here to sign up for a new account at DraftKings before NFL Week 7.
