Here Comes The Lions...

Sunday at 1 pm may be the toughest challenge yet for these Dallas Cowboys (well, until the New England game that is.)

The Detroit Lions are firing on all cylinders and their 3-0 record proves it. Will Dallas, who is still hobbling into the game with injuries and missing players, be able to contend and walk away with a victory? It's pretty much a crap shoot.

There is no denying that The Lions' defensive line is a major threat... QB Matt Stafford is inching his way into conversations of 'Top 5 QB's'... and of course 'Megatron' Calvin Johnson is probably one of the best receivers in the league.

One could say that The Lions haven't played the highest quality teams their first three games (Tampa Bay, Kansas City & Minnesota) but they did manage to put up 48 points against Kansas City, and held them to only a field goal. Regardless who you play, that's pretty impressive.

Do I think Dallas has a chance, even without Miles Austin and a less than 100% Dez Bryant, Tony Romo & Felix Jones? Absolutely.

Rob Ryan will be dialing up some different looks for Stafford, you can be guaranteed of that. Hopefully the offense will be working hard at fixing some of the mistakes from last week, including improved route running...ahhem...Ogletree.

It's a home game for Dallas, and because of that they are 1.5 point favorites on the Vegas line. I may be biased, but I think there's a good chance Dallas can play a close game (as they have been lately) and succeed in the 4th quarter. My prediction is Dallas 31, Detroit 24.
