Really Diggin the Lions, but can they keep the streak going?

Man I love Football!!!!

Week 4 is important for a lot of teams. The MN at KC matchup looks interesting to me. Going MN first half for sure.

Can't trust Minny in second half for obvious reasons.

Dude I had high hopes for Minny this year with McFlabb, but it's the same ol thing, nothing new... They will start to Run the ball a bit more and they might start to run on the 1st half of the game, so I'd be careful with that bet...

It's kind of entertaining to watch the Vikes completely go belly up in the second halves. Just unreal. Some of it has to be conditioning.

Snap was wash dline calling the snap. That being said, I think it will be close but Detroit loses.

On Tuesday morning Mike and Mike (ESPN radio) commented the Skins were pulling that BS on Dallas. That's what was causing the unexpected snaps to Romo. We'll see if NFL does anything about it.

I really like Detroit in this game. Dallas is lost. Did you see their WRs running around like a local Pop Warner team (no offense to Pop)? Detroit seems to be getting it together.

Ya this one is a no play bet for me because i have bean watching and waiting for Detroit to do this for years and Dallas has talent and could win as well good game to watch not bet

Glitch · 09-28-11, 03:18 PM

i think this is one of the toughest games on the board. wouldnt be surprised if it went either way. will be rooting against the cowboys as always but i dont think i would bet either team in this spot.

305GURU · 09-28-11, 03:43 PM

tough call homie, i like detroit in a close one though

Gonz312 · 09-28-11, 03:53 PM

Resilience will only take the cowboys so far, sure the entire media world is all over Romo's nuts, but Dallas really isn't that good of a team from anything they have showed on the field thus far. The only team in the NFL that winning close games to mediocre teams makes you a contender. Played really well against the Jets, but they were healthy then. They could easily be 0-3.

They are running into a freight train with alot to prove in this Detroit team. Game may be close for awhile but Detroit will be too much come the final score IMO.

going to pound the Lions the next week, home against the Bears on Monday Night Football. Hopefully Stafford stays healthy against the Cowboys.

MC PICKS · 09-28-11, 06:25 PM

They will beat dallas this week.

bigsmitty · 09-28-11, 10:30 PM

Agreed-DET should be the more likely team this week.

nj1035 · 09-28-11, 10:41 PM

I'm a diehard Cowboy fan and even I think DET is probably the play here. Although if Dallas was healthy it would be a completely different story.

Statman · 09-28-11, 10:50 PM

Like Det in this spot also but decided to open a 7pt teaser when they were a +1 dog so I've them at +8. Really liked how they came back last week on the road in Minny when down by 20...

I had 8-10 wins projected for them this year. It's pretty shocking. The front office is terrible, if not one of the worst in the NFL right now and Frazier and his staff are making TERRIBLE decisions. Last week's debacle is squarly on Frazier. That's the kind of game that can and should cost you your job. Well done by the Lions, for sure.

Onto the OP. I'm really surprised Dallas has the record they do, Detriot, on the other hand, is right around where I figured they'd be. Dallas is not a good football team. They are VERY lucky to have any wins right now. In fact, they probably should have 0. The 9rs and Skins have done just about everything possible to make sure the Cowboys won. I'm really surprised at how unprepared Dallas looks and how un-ready to play they are. No wonder Romo looks for Witten every time he drops back. They're the only 2 guys that know what the hell is going on.

Incidentally, this should be a good matchup. To close of a ball game to decide. I favor Detroit only just, they are a much better football team... It's just too hard to say, though, because Detroit is on the road again.

aggieshawn · 09-28-11, 11:42 PM

Dallas lack of finish will kill them in this game. Can they open it up if they get behind by 2 scores?

t-wizzle · 09-28-11, 11:43 PM

Leaning Dallas.

Goat Milk · 09-28-11, 11:58 PM

Deuce lions lose so much we just think its a phase but I think Lions are the real deal. If Dallas is healthy theyll win but I don't think they are and detroit has turned into a rough grind it out team.

Roadtrip635 · 09-29-11, 02:46 AM

I think this becomes another ugly game, both QB's will be facing some fearsome pass rushes. Neither team has shown much ability to run the ball consistently and each team's defense have done well against the run. I think Detroit has the edge based on the health of the Cowboys, but it comes down to the defense for both teams and which one can force the turnovers.
