The 3-2 Dallas Cowboys host the 3-1 Detroit Lions in one of the marquee NFL matchups of Week Six. The Lions come into the game off a bye, but will be in high spirits following their 42-29 victory over the Seahawks in Week Five. That game saw QB Jared Goff complete all 18 of his pass attempts, thereby setting a new NFL record for the most passes in a game without an incompletion. With the likes of David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams also in top form, the Lions are one of the hottest offensive sides in the league right now. Dallas have struggled for consistency so far this season, but at 3-2, they still have an excellent chance of making the postseason. QB Dak Prescott is again playing at a high level, and has some world class weapons at his disposal. However, question marks remain over the Dallas defence, especially in the absence of elite linebacker Micah Parsons.

Our Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions Prediction

This looks set to be one of the most exciting games of the season so far. Both sides are packed with offensive weapons, but have vulnerable defenses. Overall though, we think the Lions are a more rounded team, and in Jared Goff, they have a quarterback hitting his stride at just the right time. Dallas will put up a strong fight, but we're taking a Detroit victory with Goff throwing at least two touchdown passes. Our prediction for Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions is: Lions to win and Jared Goff to throw over 1.5 touchdown passes, +160 at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Lions to win and Jared Goff to throw over 1.5 touchdown passes
