AAA's 10* *Lions/Cowboys* BLOCKBUSTER (81-60 +$8,920 NFL Y-T-D!)
(NFL) Detroit vs. Dallas, 01/04/2015 11:40 AM, Score: 20 - 24
Point Spread: 7.50 | -130.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* WILD CARD BLOCKBUSTER on the Detroit Lions.

It's been an unreal year for Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys, who would both ride RB DeMarco Murray into the Playoffs. But now Murray is about to run head first into the league's best rush defense and I ultimatley feel that this factor will decide the outcome of this game. With Detroit effectively shutting down Murray today, the spot light will be on Romo to perform, this is the type of scenario that he's failed in throughout his career and I expect that trend to continue today (note that Romo is just 1-3 in the postseason). The Lions would limit their opposition to 69.3 rushing yards per game with 133 tackles for a loss to lead the NFL in both categories this year. The Cowboys defense is hardly a "World Stopper", certainly the talented Lions offensive unit has a big opportunity to put some points on the board; note that QB Matt Stafford threw for 488 yards (many to Calvin Johnson) in these teams last meeting together, a 31-30 Detroit win on October 27th, 2013. Johnson would finish with 14 receptions for 329 yards. Also note that Dallas' defense suffered a blow in last week's win over the Redskins when DT Henry Melton was lost for the remainder of the year with a knee injury. I think this is an offense that DETROIT is tailor made to stop, grab the points.
