Lions vs. Cowboys picks against the spreadJon Hoefling: Detroit Lions (-3)
Neither team has the advantage in terms of rest, which means I’ll lean more toward the home team with something to prove.
Jordan Mendoza: Dallas Cowboys (+3)
How much does the injury of Amon-Ra St. Brown hurt the Lions? Dallas is looking great, and it should be able to keep this one at least close.
Tyler Dragon: Detroit Lions (-3)
A three-game winning streak ends in Detroit for the Cowboys. The Lions need this game to keep pace in the NFC North.
Lorenzo Reyes: Detroit Lions (-3)
The Lions have been rather unreliable as of late, losing two of their last three. But I think, at home, this presents the chance for them to get their offense back on track against a Cowboys defense that has been better, but can be vulnerable. Jahmyr Gibbs could be in line for a huge day.
Richard Morin: Dallas Cowboys (+3)
It’s a tough one to pick given the Cowboys’ road struggles this season. They are, however, winners of three straight.
Blake Schuster: Detroit Lions (-3)
A letdown on Thanksgiving is nothing new for Detroit. Neither is a loss to Green Bay. Expect the Lions to bounce back against a Cowboys team that seems due for regression.
