Dallas +3 +100 over Detroit

4:25 PM EST. The last time the Lions took the field, they won a high-profile Monday Night Football game, 42-29, over the Seahawks. That win and cover moved Detroit to 3-1 both Straight Up and Against theSpread (ATS), with them enjoying a bye in Week 5. The Lions have become a popular team in the market under head coach Dan Campbell, as they’ve been an ATS monster.

Since the 2021 season, Detroit is 38-17 against the number, which is the best winning percentage ATS by a current head coach. While the Lions were enjoying their time off, the Cowboys were once again looking very average in a nationally televised prime-time game. This time it was in a 20-17 win over the Steelers, in a game that was about as entertaining as watching paint dry or grass grow. That unspirited effort comes on the heels of the Cowboys' Week 4 Thursday Night Football win over the Giants, 20-15.

Through five weeks, there might not be another contender with less market and media appeal than Dallas. We know this because the Cowboys are spotting a field goal at home for the first time this season. Dallas has played two games at home this year, with the first coming in Week 2, where they were a -6-point favorite but lost outright, 44-19, and in Week 3, where they were a +1-point underdog to the Ravens in a game they also lost, 28-25. Now, after two ugly wins on the road, the Cowboys are back at Jerry’s World, and they are taking back inflated points to a Detroit team that has yet to play a real contender, as the Lions have played a weak schedule that ranks just 25th league-wide. They were lucky to beat the Rams, lost to Tampa Bay, won a one-score game in Arizona in which they were shutout in the second half and finally knocked off Seattle on Monday Night Football, but the Seahawks marched up and down the field all day one them. Just two weeks ago, the Lions were -3-point chalk at Arizona, and now they are a similar price in Dallas. That can't be.
