    I know that the Lions should win this game.. But public is all over the lions and for some odd reason Vegas is giving them more points. It's Lions+2.5 right now!!!!! I think line opened at +1. I'm leaning cowboys here.

    Don't bet games based on what the public is doing. Public is right about 50% of the time

      can't find a reason, really. did u see that Monday night disaster? what changed from then? what is dez bryant's condition? the other side is this.......are the Bills and Lions really going to be 4-0? If the Lions win, they go 5-0 next week against the Bears at home on monday night. I'm a Lions fan, but 5-0?

        Not only that. But I don't see lions going 4-0. Dallas should be able to double up on Calvin and force Lions to run. If we have a lead at halftime. We won't blow it like other teams have been doing against Lions.

          I don't think the Lions will come out and beat Dallas today. Lions may rest and prepare for next week against Chicago. First I liked Lions but now I do think they probably will lose this game, and the line up with less people bet on Dallas.

            Tough game to bet on in my opinion. Gun to my head I'd take the Boys at home. But I'm staying away from this one.

              Up thru Game 4, dogs off a close win - 1-7 pts - while getting outrushed are 68-30 ATS since 1983. +4 pts/game cover margin, which is nice.

              Not sure I like that, but OP asked for Dallas support.

                  Lions all day. This might end up being another silly blowout.

                  One reason to bet the Cowboys? Home field? The fix is in? I'm sure there are reasons. I like the Lions' reasons better.

                    Why do you need to bet on this game. To me this is one just best left alone.....too many "weird" factors.

                            minn over the chiefs peterson rushes for 200 Cover4 style, Dallas will have a problem on offense, so witten will be the go to guy with dez being banged up, Expect this to be a dog fight , but megatron catches two in the end zone, pettigrew eats slants all day, bet on another the game, don't see the boys coming through unless their kicker kicks 6 field goals, which the game most like is going to come down to a battle of the kickers.

                                    Lions have a big edge on the D-line vs a banged up cowboys O-line, Romo is still not a 100 percent could be a long day if they cant block Suh. Hard to see the Lions starting 5-0 but they catch a dallas team licking its wounds. this isnt the lions of 2-3 yrs ago a much more confident team that knows how to use their weapons. it will be a good contest. Leaning a bit toward the lions.

                                      My two cents. Boys got lucky against Skins. Skins clearly dominated that game from beginning to end. With all those injuries it has limited their play calling. One hit on Romo and you're done if you have Dallas. Backups don't get reps in practice so won't be insink. Dez is at half strength. Even without Austin if you have Dez 90 percent...you at least have a play maker to go to. But at 50...a lot balls will be thrown short to Witten just like the Skins game. Fleix will never get off the line gainst that Lions front. Not unless they throw a lot of screen pass which they didn't do against Skins. The movement of the line and the public being all over Lions does equal a favor play ont he Boys but you're taking your chances with all those injuries. Yes...if I was to play. Boys would be the call but there are other better games.

                                          No reason to take Dallas -2.5. I read somewhere in the NFL home field gets an automatic 3 pt fav.

                                          Lions ML best play of the day IMO. Love those rich Texans pounding the dumb Cowboys hoping for Aikman, Emmit and Irvin to show up. Man it gets under my skin how much media coverage this team of slobs gets.

                                          Pound pound pound the Lions ML!

                                              Don't bet with your heart. The only way I see Dallas pulling off this upset is if Ware and the pass rush really shake up the Lions.

                                                Lions are clearly a much better team. Public most likely is favoring the lions heavily so either the lions win outright or refs hand it to Dallas via holding penalties. The fix may be in.

                                                  NFL Today just took Detroit unanimously. Not like that means much but put money on Detroit if you like money.
