This will be a massacre. Without Roy Williams the Lions offense is quite pathetic and 10.5 isnt nearly enough here Vegas. Take the boys' before the spread moves any more.

Over boys.  Fuck the side, take the total.  Neither team can defend against the pass, and if Newman is out, even more of a bonus.

I'm with coverditty and everyone else on here is with the other 96% of public bettors on Dallas.  Don't you think they took the Roy Willliams injury into consideration when setting the line?  Plus after Detroits last 3 losses SU and ATS they will be pumped up at home for this game, watching their "10-win season" go down the drain.  Detroit +10.5 (along with Carolina +10.5, see my write-up for that game).  It is crunch time right now in the NFL so be careful with these big lines.

Dallas will easily win this game, especially with a couple extra days of rest and preparation.  Detroit is on the downward spiral and they can't stop anyone from scoring.  The hardest part of this game is figuring out how many points the Lions will be able to put up.  The fact that they are going to be in front of their home crowd without the weather to deal with could be a beneficial factor for them.  I think without Roy Williams for the rest of the season, they may try and run the ball and control the clock.  Last week against the Packers (the worst running team in the NFL) they looked a little weak vs. Ryan Grant.  Everyone seems to be backing the over in this one, but I'm not so sure.  I think this is one of those games where Dallas comes out a little flat in the first half ( I think we've seen that a couple times this year for them ) and then takes control in the 2nd half.  Would prefer to see this spread closer to or even under 10...but still going to stick with Dallas -11 and UNDER 51.5

I resigned from my job and didn't work this summer.  So, I had time on my hands.  Plus, I would participate during the in-game threads, that can really take the total up there.

Game: Dallas at Detroit (Sunday 12/09 1:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Detroit +10.5 (-110)

Dallas is sitting pretty. They are 11-1, having won six in a row and they just nailed their most important win of the season over their only real threat in their conference (Green Bay). The Cowboys hold a commanding two-game lead for homefield advantage throughout thanks to the fact that they own the tiebreaker vs the Packers. They are headed to the Super Bowl in the minds of most and they have to be feeling more comfortable than any other team in the league right now. This is a perfect spot for a letdown. The Lions are a desparate team right now. Their playoff hopes, which looked golden after starting off 6-2, have now diminished to hopeful as they have dropped four straight games. Dallas is coming off of three straight division rivalry games, a Thanksgiving Day Game, and their biggest game of the year. Looking past the Lions, they have yet another division rivalry game vs the Eagles on deck. So if their is a spot for the Cowboys to relax, it is right here. Especially considering that Detroit looks as bad as anyone right now, coming off a 32-point loss to the Vikings. Yes, the Lions have lost four straight but that included losses to two of the NFC's best teams in Green Bay and New York. The other two losses were on the road vs. teams playing very well at home (Minneosta and Arizona). Last week was their only loss by more than this spread in seven weeks. They are winning their home games by an average of 7 points per game. Detroit has gone 18-7 ATS in their last 25 games after having lose three straight ATS. Dallas is 3-18 ATS in their last 21 road games after having covered the spread in 3+ of their last four games. Detroit is also on a 12-2 ATS run after having been outgained in two straight games by 100+ yards. We have an overlay going on here with a team in a perfect letdown spot. I will back the Lions with +10.5, a team in desparate need, to surpsie many and stay in this one and keep it very close.

DETROIT 31
DALLAS 38

How is Detroit gonna keep it close when they can't score.  Roy Williams is out.  Calvin Johnson can't catch.  All they have is Shawn McDonald.  I think the Dallas D can cover 1 freakin' guy!!

 

Dallas by at least 2 TD's.

JUST THINK CALVINS DO...MCDONALDS DECENT...FURREY'S OKAY...IF DETROIT CAN SLOW DOWN DALLAS PASS RUSH...THEY'LL GET OPEN ON THAT SECONDARY...BIG "IF" THOUGH...FROM WHAT I SAW AGAINST GB, DETROIT LINEMAN ARE TERRIBLE...

I'M NOT BASING THIS PICK ON STATS...IF THAT WAS THE CASE IT WOULD BE 55-10 COWBOYS..JUST THINK EVEN W/O WILLIAMS,THE COWBOYS SECONDARY BEEN PRETTY SUSPECT AS OF LATE...(i.e. against aaron rodgers and jason campbell)...

for what its worth...I believe Dallas is head and shoulders above the rest of the nfc...just can't find the motivation for them to try and play hard in this one...

DAL has 10 days to get motivated after their highly anticipated matchup, hate to say it but I'm rolling with the public here, I don't see how DET keeps up.
 
BOL either way.
