Few games in Week 6 of the NFL season are more highly anticipated than the clash between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys.
Both teams are eager for a win, as the season has not started as well as they had hoped.
Currently, the Lions and Cowboys sit in second place in their respective divisions (NFC North and NFC East), making this game crucial for their standings going forward.
Predictions for this game are mixed, but Chad Johnson believes one team has the upper hand.
On Inside the NFL, Johnson picked the Lions to win, stating, “There’s no way to stop what they have.”
While the Lions haven’t been as dominant as last year, it’s difficult to gauge their full potential after just four games.
They had a bye last week, which explains why they’ve played one fewer game than the Cowboys.
Despite the game count, Johnson remains confident the Lions have an advantage over America’s Team.
Defensively, the Lions are led by Aidan Hutchinson, a young talent who is already one of the top edge rushers in the NFL.
Hutchinson adds an X factor to the Lions’ defense, and the Cowboys may not be prepared for what he can deliver.
Additionally, Jared Goff and the Lions’ offense are in sync, wearing down defenses over the course of a game.
