Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions Betting Preview

The Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions betting line had Dallas as a -7 to -7.5 favorite.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX.

ABOUT THE COWBOYS (5-4): Dak Prescott, second in the league with 2,777 yards, registered his third straight 100.0-plus passer rating after throwing for 397 yards and three touchdowns versus Minnesota. Amari Cooper had 147 yards and a score on a season high-tying 11 receptions while Randall Cobb also eclipsed 100 yards and a score, but Elliott had his string of three consecutive 100-yard games snapped by rushing for only 47 on 20 carries. Elliott, however, shredded the Lions for 152 yards while adding four catches for 88 yards and a touchdown in last season's 26-24 win. Dallas ranks sixth in points allowed (18.9) and against the pass (219.8 yards).

ABOUT THE LIONS (3-5-1): Stafford did not practice again Thursday and Driskel appears in line for his seventh NFL start after throwing for a career-best 269 yards with one touchdown and an interception in last week's 20-13 loss at Chicago. Driskel has talent on the outside in wideouts Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr., who have combined for 14 scoring passes. Ty Johnson (concussion) was knocked out of last week's game due but practiced on a limited basis Thursday for Detroit, which already lost starting running back Kerryon Johnson for the season. The Lions rank 28th against the pass (272.8 yards).
