A quick look at the Cowboys vs. Lions game preview for Week 17

How come the NFL season is over? The Dallas Cowboys are almost here. Stake

$10 on DAL’s final home game of 2023. It seems like only yesterday that we were

debating who would survive training camp. Right now, it’s all about getting in position for the playoffs, trying to build

momentum going into that tournament, and maintaining as much health as you can.

Dallas’ last home game is against the Detroit Lions (Wager $10 on DET), who

just won the NFC North with an 11-4 record. This should be an entertaining

matchup. Both sides have offensive units capable of lighting up a scoreboard, but their defenses are not without flaws. The

Lions defense is strong in the passing game, while the Cowboys defense finds it difficult to stop the run.

The Cowboys are now much stronger favorites than you might anticipate

between two of the best teams in the NFC conference thanks to their ability to perform better on home turf, according

to the bookmakers. The Cowboys are 5.5-point favorites against the Lions at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The induction of former coach Jimmy Johnson into the Ring of Honor is

another major reason for Cowboys fans to attend this game. Known for leading the Cowboys dynasty teams in the 1990s,

Johnson finally receives recognition following an intermittent feud with owner Jerry Jones.

Let’s examine some game-related data and facts.

Dallas’s home scoring average this season is just under 40 points per game (39.9), which is the third-highest since

the NFL merger. This season, the Cowboys have a perfect 7-0 record at home. They will become the only team in

history to go undefeated at home during a season if they triumph on Saturday night, joining the 1980 and 1981 squads.

The Cowboys have never scored fewer than thirty points in any of their seven

home games this season. That sets a record for NFL home games with 30 points. The team needs just 13 more

points to tie the record for most points scored at home in a season (291), which was set in 2021.

With 141 points scored so far this season, Brandon Aubrey has broken the franchise record for most points scored

in a single season. With 150 points in a season, Emmitt Smith holds the franchise record.

CeeDee Lamb has a chance to break a few franchise records on Saturday night.

Lamb leads the NFL in catches this season with 109. Lamb is expected to

surpass Michael Irvin’s single-season franchise record of 111 catches against the Lions. This season, Lamb has 1,424

yards as well. He is getting close to Irvin’s 1,603-yard franchise record. Additionally, the Cowboys receiver can record his

eighth straight game with a touchdown, something no other Cowboys receiver has ever accomplished.

Lamb’s career total of 5,000 scrimmage yards has now been reached. After his

first four years in the NFL, he is the sixth

wide receiver to accomplish that feat

(Jerry Rice, Torry Holt, Randy Moss, Michael Thomas, Justin Jefferson).
