Det is the correct play here. Dallas does have lots of injury and Ware is not playing that means Det have all the time to pass. Give a pocket QB time = TD to Megatron. Det just have lots of weapons and should be a good high scoring game.
Det 31
Dal 27

The Colonel and I think alike.....women used to distract me in my 20's and 30's (and for the record, still do; just calmed down a bit now) but I am a live to eat guy not the eat to live skinny guy that looks at a plate of freshly cooked turkey & dressing with all the supporting trimmings and says..."a cheese sandwich would have been fine."
Sam you have a knack of putting things into perspective. That's just
what I wanted to say but I got off track thinking about eating a
drumstick.
Motor City boy's and the over.

Happy Thanksgiving oh that's right it's a month away. It's just when I see these two teams I could see a big juicy turkey sitting in front of me. Since Detroit normally loses on Thanksgiving maybe they win here.

Horrible coverage LB's??? Lee and Carter? Guess you saw the SD and Denver games when the coverage schemes being played had no business matching up against those offense. Lee and Carter are well-known as excellent coverage LB's...both in college and pro up until this season.
Did they all of the sudden become terrible at it? Not a chance, Kiffin had them covering more ground than most LB's could even remotely attempt. Yeah, Bruce Carter was beat on a 40-yard wheel route by the 4.3 40-yard Danny Woodhead, and he was in his back pocket just missing the ball deflection. I'd love to see 95% of NFL LB's try to cover that...would be embarrassing.
Once Kiffin made the adjustment in coverage schemes, played the CB's more man up, and let Lee cover his man or medium zones like almost all other NFL defenses do, the Skins and Eagles didn't do jack from the backfield or TE routes. Lee shut LeSean McCoy down out of the backfield and made him a non-factor...6 catches for 26 yards. Meaning he was on him like glue when he caught it. And yes, McCoy is a huge weapon receiving...21 for 267 on the year.
The defensive coverage schemes were inadequate for what they were facing, not the LB coverage. Stop reading knee-jerk media stories written by band majors who never played the sport.
As for the game, I'm going with Detroit. Dallas played 3 straight with enormous effort (Denver tough loss, and 2 big divisional wins). Can't see them sustaining that hard effort for another week, especially with the injuries and now safety Wilcox out. He was needed in this one for his sure and hard tackling to help with the many targets they use in the RB and TE spots. Just these 2 positions combined have 88 of Det's 178 catches. Just under 50% is a huge number for these positions. Wilcox will be sorely missed. Jeff Heath is somewhat talented but VERY raw. He wasn't even in top 3 players at this position in Week 1. It's a big downgrade facing this type offense...spread you all over like Denver and SD effectively did to Dallas.
Detroit and over is play here. Probably buy it down to 2.5 when taking Det.
