The Cowboys are 6.5 points ahead of the Lions.
This year, the Detroit Lions gave their fans the best Christmas present imaginable: an NFC North championship.
It was the first division title for the organisation in thirty years. The Lions will then host a home playoff game for the first time in Ford Field’s existence (it debuted in 2002).
For the first time in thirty years, the supporters of the Lions, who have won eleven games this season, have something to be happy about.
However, that does not imply that Dan Campbell’s squad is the favourite in the betting going into their eagerly awaited primetime encounter on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys.
According to SI Sportsbook, Detroit is currently a 6.5-point underdog in the road game.
The Cowboys, with ten victories, have lost their previous two games, while the Lions have won their last two. Most recently, they lost on the road by two points against the Miami Dolphins, who are leading the AFC East, and Tua Tagovailoa.

Although Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have had some disagreements away from home this season, they are unmatched there. They’re actually undefeated at AT&T Stadium, 7-0, which makes Detroit’s trip to “Jerry World” this weekend all the more difficult.
In addition, the Cowboys have prevailed in all five of their previous games with the team, including the 2014 NFC Wild Card game. In addition, Dallas leads the head-to-head series all-time, 18–12.
Under head coach Mike McCarthy, the present Cowboys have the third-best offence in the NFL (30.1 points per game) and the fifth-best defensive (19.1 points per game). In addition, they are the only club in the league to score over 30 points and allow fewer than 20 points per game.
It’s an amazing accomplishment that makes McCarthy & Co. a strong foe, particularly at home.
But if anyone can overcome the Cowboys in “Big D,” it’s Campbell and his incredibly self-assured and tenacious group.
