Monday Night Football Betting Guide: Lions vs. Cowboys

A massive game between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys takes place the day after Christmas, so take a look at our Monday Night Football betting guide and place your bet on the winner with NetBet Sportsbook.

The 2016-17 regular NFL season is nearly over, and Detroit will need all the momentum they can get against the Cowboys this Monday. The Green Bay Packers are only one win behind them, and the two teams are set to face off in week 17. Before that happens though, the Lions will attempt to get past one of the best teams in the league.

The Dallas Cowboys have only lost two games this season, both of which were to the New York Giants. They are now the official NFC East champs, and most online sportsbooks in the UK have them as a betting favorite to win the Super Bowl. Dak Prescott has been a key to their success, throwing for 279 yards with a completion rate of 88.9%.

Most NFL analysts predict this will be a barnburner. The Cowboys always deliver the action in games, and the Lions will be playing their hardest in order to make the playoffs. So what are the betting lines set at?

Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys betting odds

As you would probably expect, the Dallas Cowboys are entering this game as the massive NFL favorite to win. As we stated before, they have only two losses this entire season, both of which came against the same team. Their running game is extremely elite, with Ezekiel Elliot close to making UK gambling news by becoming MVP this season. The Cowboy’s odds to win are currently set at 20/57, according to NetBet Sportsbook.

The Lions have had a solid season, but haven’t done much to inspire confidence that they can be a Super Bowl contender (although a bet on them could earn you some serious NJ Super Bowl pool prizes). Matthew Stafford will need to play the game of his life in order to beat Dallas. Our Monday Night Football betting guide experts believe they can win, but will need to stop the running game of Ezekiel Elliot, which almost no other team has been able to do. The Lions’ odds to win this Monday are currently set at 11/5.
