Lions schedule has turned into something of a gauntlet in recent weeks, and I still don't like the bye week being so early, but it's nice to break it up a little.

Going west to play the Cardinals, followed by a tough primetime game against the Seahawks, followed by a revenge game against an always good Cowboys team, followed by the first division matchup of the season on the road against the undefeated Vikings.

I'll be happy if they go 1-1 in the next two, but ideally you're tied for the division lead and holding the tiebreaker at 5-1 in two weeks.

Can you please change your misleading thread title. We aren't just playing Dallas this week. It should read as follows . . .

Week Six: Detroit Lions (3-1) @ Dallas Cowboys (3-2) and Refs (2-0)

Very true. I thought y'all would enjoy this little tidbit I did sneak in there too 😂

I hate rooting for a Cowboys win but part of me was happy they won last night. I worry that if they lost there was an outside chance Jerry finally realizes how horrible of a coach McCarthy is and finally fires him.

In which case the Lions would have to prepare to play a team with a new coach which never is an easy thing imo. 

Not to mention a loss yesterday would have put them in a proverbial "must win" against us so the refs would've felt even more pressure to bail them out. 🙂

FanDuel has some interesting weekly specials tied to this game:

Lamb & ASB 30+yd Rec in each half: +550   -  Maybe but leaning no

Goff OR Dak 350+ Passing: +420 -  Nope

Any OL score an offensive TD (all games): +750 -  Yes for sure betting 

Brandon Aubrey make 67+yd FG: +2400 - yes small sprinkle

Beginning of a brutal stretch. Road games at Dallas, Minnesota, Houston and Green Bay in 4 of the next 5. Win 2 of those and the Lions will be in good shape headed into the second half of the season. The entire rest of the schedule is very challenging but this stretch in particular could shape their season.

Draft Kings Sportsbooks has Jamo as +1100 to score the first TD of the game. I really don't bet that often, but I've thought about taking that bet this week and putting $50 on Jamo getting the first TD.

4 Lion Victories as they shake off the early season rust and move to the top of the NFC food chain. 

LOL - I looked at this pic half a dozen times and couldn't figure out where you were going -  then finally saw the knife blade. (I do have a new pair of reading glasses on order!)

I'm prepared for a W.  Also prepared for overs on:

  • Lamb yardage, he will get his.
  • Defensive PI calls on Det CB, we play physical and seem ok with that.
  • References to Arnold as "handsy", the moniker was local then Aikman cemented it last game.

Lions by 2 scores.

I never bet more than $10 and I NEVER bet on The Lions and Michigan because I can't be analytic at all. 

But, I make an exception this week.    I put $50 on the Lions.    They are going to destroy Dallas on Sunday.   This team has all of their parts and they are laser-focused on making sure that even WHEN (not if) the Refs pull some pro-Dallas bull****, the score will be so lopsided it won't make a difference.  

I have never been this certain about the Detroit Lions in my life.     They.........want.......this..........bad

 

We all do
