they MANHANDLED the chiefs.  what more could they have done to them to earn your respect?  they did exactly what any elite level team would, not saying they're THAT good, but give them credit for doing exactly what they should have here and then some.

vikes are a much better team than they have played and have jumped on everyone, not to mentino the lions had a terrible history SU/ATS in minny, so getting a late gritty victory like that was again, what the good teams do.

cowboys have bad o-line problems and the lions d-line is about as good as it gets.  cowboys defense has been great against the run, but the lions aren't really looking to run with matt stafford throwing dimes to calvin johnson and a stable of playmakers around them, the run is what keeps teams honest and the cowboys secondary is not good.  someone said they are 12th here... against mark sanchez, rex grossman, and alex smith?  they'd be better than 12th at this point if they were even as good as 12th over a full season of statistics. 

the books will always get cowboys money as they are a huge public team, but there's a reason the lions are catching only 1 and not 3.  Go ahead and pop the cowboys and find out.

DET +1.5 -105

thank u wang...for supplying us with someing that hasn't been consistent on here I can vouche for wang. he's called alot of games on here.    Wang has even called bs on me a few times and vice versa.  having said that...

 which is NFL LOGIC.        

Dallas is MEDIOCRE.  There is no other way to say it.   I know they are 2-1, but it's a shaky 2-1.     Dallas's defense is actually pretty pretty good.  in other words..Dallas has a SUPERBOWL defense....but a half azz offense.   Romo wouldn't be fighting (literally)  for his life each week if his Oline was at least above average.  If dallas doesn't get their **** together this week they are going to go from mediocre to sucking.     take it from me a DIEHARD dallas fan.  Dallas is very close to imploding....I wouldn't be shocked to see them barely make the playoffs...if at all.

These words will be prophetic in week 15

These aren’t the same old Lions we’ve gotten used to in recent years. Rallying from a 20-0 deficit to win at Minnesota is the latest indicator that the “new” Detroit means business. And, even if Tony Romo is in the lineup, his aching rib makes an inviting target for Ndamukong Suh & Co., which held Adrian Peterson to only 5 YR in the 2nd half last week. With some of Romo’s weapons (including WR Miles Austin) hurting as well, prefer Matthew Stafford (another 378 YP last week; played HS ball in Dallas) to fire the deciding shots.

One MIGHT think the “Over” is worth a look with the Lions “over” 13-5-2 last 20 and Dallas “over” 15-3 last 18 prior to Skins. BUT….I tend to agree with dddevin69. I had the Skins and the Over in the Boys/Skins game and they tie the record {9} for field goals made in a game. Under for me on this one.

Detroit 27 – Dallas 16

Lions ML and the Under
