Cowboys vs Lions: Dallas opens as 6-point favorites for Week 17

[big dog cowboy]

The Dallas Cowboys have opened as favorites for their game against Detroit.

By David Halprin

It’s a good thing the Dallas Cowboys (-6) locked up their NFC playoff spot a few weeks ago because if they were still chasing it, they would be in trouble. The Cowboys were routed last week by the Buffalo Bills (-13) 31-10, and while it wasn't as bad this week, they still fell. A last-second field goal by the Miami Dolphins (+3) propelled them to a 22-20 win over Dallas.

Home game plus Lions may be hungover from clinching. Doable

We are at home, we will win.
First playoff game on the road against a good team, our season ends.

Go Cowboys. Go Jimmy Johnson.

Jimmy will be the highlight of the day

 

[Established1971]

barely care anymore

 

[Jipper]

Take the lions and the points to the bank, Dallas is going into the playoffs on a 4 game losing streak

Makes sense. If you look past all the hand wringing today the Cowboys played so much better than last week. They return home. And the Lions defense is bad.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Too low. Dallas at home, Detroit wrapped up their playoff seed after playing their 6th mediocre game in the last 7.

This has 43-22 written all over it

 

[zeroburrito]

game doesn't mean anything. going to have to beat teams on the road.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Another meaningless home win against an opponent who will be vacationing before the playoffs.
Yes, we will be Great again................

Watched the Lions today. Meh.

Watched the Lions today. Meh.

It’s like watching Dallas.

This should be a very interesting game. They have also a very talented running back who is a 'rook' and with his first year legs.

Dallas offensive line better play a good game up front. Dak is tired of watching from his back. A little running success would really open alternatives up, if McCarthy can remember that in game.

Way to announce that you pay no attention to the league. The Lions have clinched a playoff spot and have more wins than the Cowboys.

Early money is pouring in on the Cowboys, driving the line up to 6.5 already.

Note to David, they are a 6 point favorite for a reason.

Better not lose Jimmy’s induction game.
