(NFL) Detroit vs. Dallas, 12/26/2016 3:30 PM, Score: 21 - 42
Point Spread: 6.00 | -110.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
The Cowboys managed to eke out a six point win last week over the Buccaneers and while their record looks fantastic there has to be some concern about how close their games have been over the last four weeks. Prescott and Elliot have combined to be one of the best QB RB combinations in the league and the Dallas defense is playing great and deserves all the credit in the world for the success of the Cowboys this season but it just seems like every game they play right now is extremely tight.

The Detroit Lions are still leading the NFC North but are only a single game ahead of the Packers and need to find wins as the season winds down the Packers simply continue winning. The Lions defense has been playing great recently and are doing even better than their 20 points allowed per game average over their last six games.

Take the Lions and the points as their defense is tough and the Lions passing game has been great and that is the weakness of the Dallas defense. Expect a close game here tonight on MNF.
