Cowboys vs. Lions: 3 reasons why Dallas may be at a significant disadvantage in Week 6

There may be too many obstacles for the Cowboys to overcome this week.

The Dallas Cowboys managed to secure two rough road victories in back-to-back weeks and will return home to AT&T Stadium to face off against a really talented and gritty Detroit Lions team. This game is shaping up to be a grudge match after the way things played out between these two last year, but unfortunately it could possibly be a little one-sided.

Heading into this Week 6 matchup with the Cowboys, it looks as if the Lions already have a significant advantage. Today, we are going to take a look at three reasons why Detroit may be favored to win this matchup. But, since there is no such thing as an easy victory in the NFL, the Cowboys will do their best to walk away the third consecutive “W”.


Reason #1 – Too many injuries

Jared Goff probably isn’t too concerned about the Cowboys pass rush this week with Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Marshawn Kneeland expected to miss this matchup. And the Lions defense is probably looking forward to squaring off against the Cowboys offense with WR Brandin Cooks out and with Tyler Guyton getting banged up last week. All in all, Dallas is the walking wounded right now giving the Lions a significant advantage. Dallas’ bye in Week 7 can’t get here soon enough.


Reason #2 – Detroit has had extra time to prepare

The Cowboys and Lions will enter this Week 6 matchup at opposite ends of the spectrum. The Cowboys are currently walking wounded with several key players injured and expected to miss this matchup, while the Lions will more than likely be well rested/recuperated coming off their bye week. The extra time they’ve had to prepare for this matchup gives them an advantage over Dallas, a team who they are very motivated to extract a little bit of revenge against after the way things played out between the two last year.


Reason #3 – Home-field advantage? Not this year.

Home-field advantage used to be a thing for the Cowboys in the past two years. They were nearly unstoppable at AT&T Stadium, but that hasn’t been the case this year. They are currently 0-2 and have been completely embarrassed in front of their hometown fans by both the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens. Sadly, facing a team with extra time to rest and prepare for this matchup and with all of the current injuries Dallas is coming with right now, another disappointing performance at home this week seems likely.
