The Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions kicked off the NFL Thanksgiving Day slate for us, and they’re doing the same for the Week 14 action. It means that they won’t have any extra time off despite the holiday game, but with two of the most polarizing NFC teams facing off, we’ve shared our best Cowboys vs. Lions predictions for Thursday Night Football.

Even if you’re in Dallas without legal sports betting (and over 40 states total!), you’ll be able to add to any Cowboys vs. Lions picks with a guaranteed 10x Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus!

Cowboys vs. Lions Predictions For Thursday Night Football, NFL Week 14

It was seemingly a must-win for both teams - the Cowboys for their playoff lives and for the Lions, their chance at winning the NFC North. With Detroit now losing BOTH games to the Green Bay Packers, and the Chicago Bears team exceeding expectations, it’s a long road ahead for a squad that went 15-2 last year.

That’s how Detroit is heading into any Cowboys vs. Lions predictions, and as for Dallas, taking on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs is as tough as it gets for a holiday game, and they prevailed in one of the most exciting games of the entire season. The Cowboys have now beaten both of last year’s Super Bowl teams in a span of five days!

If you’re wondering if they’re still America’s team, here is Dallas’ recent schedule: Monday Night Football, bye week, MNF (again), late-afternoon NFC East rivalry with the defending Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles, Thanksgiving Day game, and now, TNF (SNF next week!). So yeah, of course, we’re going to be here to make Cowboys vs. Lions predictions.

With that in mind, make sure that you don't miss our premium NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football. We had Rashee Rice scoring against Dallas on Thanksgiving Day and David Montgomery scoring for Detroit as well. In other words, before we get into the focus of our top Cowboys vs. Lions picks here, ride with our NFL expert picks the rest of the season! 
 

 

 

Cowboys vs. Lions Best Bet: George Pickens Anytime TD (+132 at Novig)

Before we dive into this approach, you really should check out that premium article above; that’s because, before you jump to any conclusions, we expect Detroit to be the winner of this game. We won’t spoil any more than that, so let’s get into what we’d consider to be a value play as the focus of our Cowboys vs. Lions predictions.

If there is a way to attack Detroit’s defense, it’s through the air, and it isn’t even a debate. That’s been a trend since last season, and right now, their secondary remains banged up. DJ Reed returned, but Kerby Joseph missed the Thanksgiving Day game. His absence helped Jordan Love throw FOUR passing TDs against them.

Furthermore, our Cowboys vs. Lions predictions are supported by the fact that Detroit has the NFL’s fifth-best defensive EPA per rush. As for George Pickens, sure, we saw CeeDee Lamb score the Thanksgiving Day TD, but fans have started to accept that Pickens may actually be the #1 WR in this offense.

He still saw more targets with a whopping 13, still racked up 88 yards with some ridiculous spin moves and a near impossible hurdle. Let’s also not forget that just a few days prior, he torched the Eagles to the tune of nine catches for 146 yards and a touchdown. He’s never faced Detroit in his young career, but it’s time to show them what he’s all about.

Therefore, the best bet from our Cowboys vs. Lions predictions for Thursday Night Football is George Pickens anytime TD (+132 Novig).

Cowboys vs. Lions Injury Report & Latest News

Although we targeted a Dallas WR, we can’t emphasize enough that it’s Detroit WR Amon-Ra St. Brown that is the biggest Cowboys vs. Lions injury to monitor. He left the Thanksgiving Day game very early with an ankle issue and never returned. They were already without Kalif Raymond and Sam LaPorta, and we already mentioned Kerby Joseph.

As for Cowboys vs. Lions injury news in Dallas, they are the team getting healthier as they go. However, there is still the key offensive lineman of Tyler Guyton that we need to keep tabs on. You can do just that and a ton more by bookmarking the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report!
