NFL: Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys
Week 8. Time flies when you’re winning. We improved to 6-1 last week. Next stop; 7-1.
Detroit Lions +3.5
Yea, yea, roll your eyes. I cant imagine anybody being excited about this pick. The 1-5 Lions come off back-to-back egg vs. the Cowboys and Patriots. Outside of that, they have actually been serviceable this year. The Lions point differential in the first five games of the season? -1.
Amon-Ra St. Brown returns. D’Andre Swift returns. It’s the first time since Week 3, both are active. The Lions also get back on home turf. Despite being 1-2 in their own building, the have outscored opponents in those three games (116-113.)
This Miami team still has question marks. They beat the Steelers (@ Home) last week, but the game was fairly close throughout. They are banged up on defense. I’m not sold.
Give me the home dog, getting their best two skill players back.
Lions +3.5 – Book It.
