Lions Wire editor’s thoughts/predictions

The Lions Wire editors have once again aligned their predictions, with both picking the Cowboys to leave Ford Field with a win.

On the latest episode of the Detroit Lions Breakdown podcast, Episode 128, Erik Schlitt discussed why he believes this game favors the Cowboys and why they will come away with a 28-20 victory.

Jeff Risdon made his prediction in his Week 11 Football Meteorology article at RealGM, calling for a Cowboys 36-24 win. Here’s Risdon’s reasoning:

Matthew Stafford will miss this game with his fractured vertebrae. He’s not the only injured Lion. It’s easier to list the Detroit defenders who aren’t going to be designated with some injury status than to rattle off the litany who will. Expect a big game from Zeke Elliott against Detroit’s woeful, banged-up run defense. If the Lions shift their limited resources to stop that, Dak Prescott and friends can exploit a pass defense that has allowed a league-worst QB Rating of over 127 in the last month. If you haven’t used Dallas in survivor fantasy football, now is a good time.
