00:00As it stands right now, Detroit, a juiced three on the road in Dallas, Lions coming

00:08off their bye, Dallas obviously dealing with tons of injuries on the defensive side of

00:12the ball, Neyland is going to miss close to the entire season for Dallas now, Parsons,

00:16high ankle sprain, Lawrence on IR, total in the game 52 and a half, Femi, a resident Cowboys

00:23fan, how are you handicapping your favorite team as they welcome in the Detroit Lions

00:27off the bye?

00:28Yeah, like when I think about this game, this is one where I guess you should wait to see

00:33what the status of Micah Parsons will be on Sunday, and my guess is he doesn't play, but

00:38we did see Max Crosby only miss one game with a high ankle sprain, so maybe Micah Parsons

00:41goes crazy and says, you know what, I'm going to play in the game, whatever.

00:45You think he plays?

00:46I do.

00:47This number is kind of leaning towards the fact that he might play.

00:5051-49.

00:51You think 51-49 he plays?

00:53That he plays, so not like a strong feeling, but I think he will play.

00:57If he plays, I definitely think that Dallas is obviously more likely to win the game.

01:02No kidding.

01:03Micah Parsons is one of the best players in the league, but I just don't know if I like

01:05this Dallas defense against Detroit, because let's say Parsons comes back, you're still

01:09without Lawrence, you're still without Nealon, that's not a household name, but that adds

01:14to the pass rush against an offensive line that is the strength of the Detroit Lions

01:19offense, who's coming off of the bye, and oh, by the way, they're getting their stud

01:23center back in Frank Ragnow, so when he's on the field, that offense is even more efficient.

01:28You want to play the Lions without Ragnow, now that he's back against that Dallas defense,

01:33how is Dallas getting stops, and this is an offensive scheme with Ben Johnson to where

01:38with all the play action and the run game, that's what Dallas can't stop.

01:41Detroit wants to run the football.

01:43What does Dallas do?

01:44They let everybody run the football.

01:46It's just, I don't like the setup for Dallas.

01:48I think last week's game was the spot to back them.

01:50That's why we did it, taking them against Pittsburgh.

01:52I think this week, I can see this game getting away from them to where it's Dak Prescott

01:57pressing down 14-3 early on in the game, and then here comes the avalanche.

02:01I like Detroit in the game.

02:02I've laid three.

02:03If the Parson Deuce comes out, and you get a cheap three or even a two and a half, I

02:08would lay that as well.

02:09I don't see the Cowboys winning this game.

02:10I just do not like the setup for them against this Detroit offense.

02:14I think Detroit has a big game, and maybe that's why the totals get steamed up at 52

02:17and a half, because I think Detroit could have named their number scoring-wise against

02:21this Cowboys team.
