Best Bet: OVER 52.5 Points (-105)
Oddsmakers expect this one to be a shootout, with the 52.5 total the highest on the slate—and for good reason. Detroit’s offense put up 42 points in Week 4 and will benefit from the absence of Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons, who’s set to miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury. For Dallas, quarterback Dak Prescott should have opportunities to exploit a Lions defense that’s allowed the sixth-most passing yards per game. While last season’s meeting was surprisingly low-scoring, this matchup has the potential to be far more explosive.
Prop Bet: DET RB David Montgomery Any Time Touchdown (-150)
After scoring a career-high 13 touchdowns last season, Montgomery has carried that momentum into 2024, finding the end zone in each of Detroit’s first four games. The 27-year-old is poised to continue that streak on Sunday, as the Cowboys have allowed the third most rushing TDs through five weeks.
Prediction
Final Score: Lions 34 – Cowboys 27
