Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL Week 4 Free Picks

The Detroit Lions visit the Dallas Cowboy this Sunday, October 2nd.

Despite the incessant ramblings of Mike Florio, arguably the biggest know- it-all to ever come down the NFL pike, the game day status of star QB Tony Romo is unknown as he (like all of us) is listed as day-to-day. While Romo is quickly developing a warrior-like persona, what we do know is 3-0 NFL road teams who were losing teams last season are just 3-9 SU and 2-10 ATS in games in which they are not taking more than three points.

Yes, we realize this is a different Lions team we’re talking about this NFL betting season but the fact of the matter is the Cowboys have chewed up and spit out teams from the NFC North with regularity, going 8-2 SU and ATS as single- digit favorites in these games.

That being said, look for America’s team to hocker up a big one here today. How ‘bout them Cowboys!

NFL betting pick: Cowboys over Lions by 6

Current betting line: Cowboys 1½-point favorites versus the Lions, and the game's total is sitting at 46.
