Week 6 Predictions

PFN Rolfe (Detroit Lions (-3.5) at Dallas Cowboys - The Cowboys, who were known last year as a team that won at home and struggled on the road, are 3-0 on the road and 0-2 at home in 2024. Yeah, that doesn’t make much sense to me either, but that’s where we are.  Dallas has gutted out two tough victories in the last two weeks, but it doesn’t hide the fact they are 25th in net EPA per game through five weeks.  Meanwhile, the Lions are coming off their bye after looking like they had finally figured some things out offensively in Week 4. We now know that the Seahawks may just be not as good defensively as their early-season performances made them look. The Lions are sixth in EPA per game offensively and 19th defensively, which both rank better than the Cowboys.  This has the makings of a high-scoring game in Arlington, but that is already baked into the total. I do not love taking Detroit giving up more than a field goal on the road. Equally, I am not touching this Cowboys team until we see some level of consistency.  Prediction: Lions 27, Cowboys 24): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/early-nfl-picks-predictions-week-6-2024/


SN Iyer (Lions (-3.5, 52.5 o/u) at Cowboys:  The Lions will find a way to run all over Dallas with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, but they will have limited downfield passing success with Jared Goff, which will lead to some turnovers that keep Dak Prescott and Dallas in the game. The Cowboys' pass-happy attack will push it to the limit with Prescott picking apart plenty in Detroit's defense, but Gibbs and Montgomery combine to close it out well in the fourth quarter.  Pick: Lions win 27-24 but fail to cover the spread.):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-against-spread-week-6-steelers-jets/ac9a144713026e85e48b089a

SN Bender (Detroit Lions (-3) at Dallas Cowboys:  Their last meeting will be rehashed, but these are different teams. The Cowboys are dealing with injuries and have not averaged more than 4.0 yards per carry in a game since Week 1. That lack of a running game will lead to more sacks for Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson. Detroit's balanced offense will be the difference, and Campbell will have a few wrinkles coming out of the bye week. The Lions are 6-1 ATS as a road favorite since last season. Pick: Lions 30, Cowboys 20):  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-week-6-lions-cowboys-ravens-commanders/49609db94c99a39e6f206770

CBS Sullivan (Lions at Cowboys - Dallas needed a last-second touchdown to beat a wildly inefficient Steelers offense on Sunday night. In Week 6, the Cowboys get a much more finely tuned opponent in the Lions, who will enter AT&T Stadium as the road favorites. Under Dan Campbell, the Lions are 6-2 ATS as a road favorite. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games. It's also worth noting the rest advantage that Detroit will have over the Cowboys as it's coming off the bye. The Lions are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following the bye week.  Projected score: Lions 30, Cowboys 24):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-6-odds-picks-best-bets-spreads-bo-nix-and-broncos-extend-winning-streak-bears-prevail-in-london/

Pro Picks: Only 3 home teams are favorites in Week 6 (Detroit at Dallas
- Line: Lions minus 3. The banged-up Cowboys (3-2) are 0-2 at home and have allowed 72 points in those games. And, they had Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. Both are out again this week, putting more pressure on Dak Prescott and the offense to outscore Detroit (3-1) in a shootout. The rested Lions put up 42 against Seattle before a bye. They could do that by the third quarter against undermanned Dallas. LIONS, 33-24):  https://apnews.com/article/nfl-pro-picks-week-6-ac517f9cb8c7fee39633a1d609264821

Lions vs. Cowboys: Keys and predictions for Week 6 clash (Prediction - Josh: 34-24 Lions.  I mentioned earlier how much trouble the Cowboys have had with high-powered offenses and I expect that to continue on Sunday. I also expect Detroit’s defense to put near-constant pressure on Prescott and slow Dallas’ offense, which should prevent any repeats of last season’s dramatic finish.  Tommy: 35-31 Lions.  Maybe I'm seeing a closer game than what it could be but I think both teams are fighting for wins at this point in the year, making for a hotly-contested Week 6 matchup. The Lions offense proves to be too much but Prescott keeps his team somewhat in it to keep it close.):  https://athlonsports.com/nfl/all-lions/detroit-lions-vs-dallas-cowboys-keys-and-predictions-for-week-6-clash

Lions and Cowboys: Last-minute thoughts and final score prediction (Final score prediction:  It’s hard to forecast a win in Dallas, even with the Lions favored. Once bitten, twice shy is an apropos theme song. Still, Detroit has the better offense and the better defense as the two teams meet today. Barring some unexpected bye-week rust or OC Ben Johnson outsmarting himself, the Lions should be able to outscore the Cowboys in Dallas and run away with an impressive road win over a likely playoff foe.  Lions 30, Cowboys 24):  https://lionswire.usatoday.com/2024/10/13/lions-cowboys-week-6-last-minute-thoughts-and-final-score-prediction/
