Week 14 in the NFL kicks off with the Dallas Cowboys @ the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys spent Week 13 at home against the Chiefs and came away with a narrow 31-28 win. To leave them on 6-5-1 for the season. That makes it 3 wins in a row and leaves the Cowboys 2nd in the NFC East. With an outside chance of catching the Eagles, who sit top on 8-3. The Cowboys will be looking to pick up another win against the Lions as they look to make it to the postseason after missing out in 2024.

The Detroit Lions suffered a Thanksgiving Day home defeat at the hands of NFC North rivals, the Packers, in their last game. After a strong start to the season, being 4-1 at the end of week 5, the Lions have since gone 3-4, leaving them on 7-5 and are 3rd in the NFC North. They will be looking to get their season back on track against the Cowboys. Chances of a 3rd NFC North title in a row are basically gone, but they will still be hoping to put a run together and make the postseason for the third season running, something they haven’t managed to achieve since the 1993-1995 seasons.

 

What is the latest team news?

Before we make our Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions prediction, we shall take a look at the team news and how the teams have been performing.

Dallas Cowboys – Can they make it four wins in a row?

After a very average start to the season, the Cowboys found themselves on 3-5-1 after week 9. However, since their bye week in week 10, they have won three games in a row and will look to make it four against the Lions. No fresh injury concerns to key players means the Cowboys look set to be on top form against the Lions. Although Jaydon Blue missed the game against the Chiefs, he looks set to return against the Lions. He will look to force his way back into the team after a good performance by the offence in his absence against the Chiefs.

Detroit Lions – Can they make a late push for the postseason?

Morale won’t be great in Michigan after suffering a 31-24 loss in their last game on Thanksgiving during week 13. Leading receiver WR Amon-Ra St. Brown limped off in the first quarter against the Packers. This ended his streak of 70 Straight games with a reception. How serious the injury is will have a massive effect on the rest of the Lions’ season.Β  With regulars WR Kalif Raymond and TE Brock Wright also missing the game against the Packers, if they remain unfit, the Lions’ offensive passing game could be in real trouble.

Prediction for Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions

So it’s time to make our Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions prediction. With the Cowboys on a three-game winning streak and the Lions having lost last time out, surely the Cowboys are favourites to win? The bookmakers don’t agree. They have the Lions as favourites. Overall, this season, their record is better, and when you compare the Lions’ 4-2 home record against the Cowboys’ 2-4 away record, this likely means the bookmakers are tipping the Lions to win due to their home advantage. This tipster isn’t so sure. When we check the spread betting, the Lions are evenly matched to overcome a -5.5 handicap and win by 6 points or more. This tipster, however, thinks that with the Cowboys’ recent form, including an away win against the Raiders, added to the fact that the Lions are missing a few key players that it’s going to be a very close game. So, our Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions prediction is that the Lions will fail to cover the spread, so we suggest betting on the Dallas Cowboys at +5.5.
