The Week seven matchup between Detroit and Dallas features the return of Dak Prescott. Rush was an indifferent fill in, and while the Cowboys stepped up their run game, they have struggled to score points, depending on a very tough defense for their present 4-2 record. They gave up 26 points against the Eagles, but are otherwise close to the top in points allowed. They have been reasonably tough to run against, but are very hard on the pass, limiting yards and yds/attempt. They have tenacious skills in pressuring the passer and sport an avg. opposing QB rating of just 78.
The Lions, on average, allow more points than the Cowboys have yet scored this year. Their offense was very potent until Week Six, when they put no points on the board, and saw their offense stats plummet vs the Patriots. The Cowboys' defense is a tougher match-up, so points for the Lions may again be scarce. The Lions' defense is worst or close to in most defensive categories. They have given up massive rush yards and are ugly across the board against the pass. The Lions O-line has protected Goff well this season, but this may change on Sunday
Prescott probably couldn't have picked a better game to return. The Lions don't pressure passers well, so he'll have time to kick out the rust. The Cowboys are favored by just less than a TD. Take the Cowboys to win going away and cover.
