Dallas Cowboys face their biggest test of the season against the Detroit Lions, battling for playoff survival while exploiting key weaknesses in the Lions’ defense. Can Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens torch Detroit’s injury-riddled secondary and overcome a resurgent Aidan Hutchinson? The spread favors Detroit, but the Cowboys’ high-powered offense could flip the script and cement their spot in the postseason race.

Marcus Mosher and Landon McCool break down the X-factors: matchup advantages for Cowboys receivers, interior dominance on defense, and the challenge of stopping Jahmyr Gibbs in space. The discussion highlights Dan Campbell’s aggressive tactics, Detroit’s depleted playmaker corps—including the uncertainty of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta—and how both teams might pull out all the stops. With playoff chances on the line, will the Cowboys seize the momentum or see their hopes dashed in Detroit?
