00:008-15 on Thursday night, live from the Motor City of Detroit.

00:04It's the Dallas Cowboys and it's the Detroit Lions.

00:06Last time we saw these two teams, they both played on Thanksgiving.

00:09One was a victory for the Dallas Cowboys over the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:13The other was a loss from the Detroit Lions against the Green Bay Packers.

00:17Squaring off on Thursday night, the look-ahead line, Joe, 5.5.

00:20No longer the case.

00:22It's down to minus three as a favorite for Detroit.

00:25Questions in the air.

00:26Amon Ross St. Brown, is he going to play in this game?

00:28Heck, Detroit even thought they were getting back one of the best centers to ever play the game.

00:31And Frank Ragnow, he comes back and gets a, hey, let's take a look at that hamstring.

00:36Oh, no, it's severed.

00:37You're going back to being retired here.

00:39They can't catch a break any which way.

00:41Dallas coming to town hot.

00:43Can they steal this game, Joe?

00:46Well, why not?

00:47I mean, they certainly have the offense to be able to do it.

00:50And, you know, we've talked about it now how many times in a row.

00:53Like, this is not a great offense here.

00:57Like, years past for the Detroit Lions.

01:00And this is not a terrible defense with the Dallas Cowboys anymore.

01:05So, a little bit of a short week here for these teams.

01:10But, well, not really, because they did play last Thursday.

01:13So, it actually works out pretty good for them.

01:16But, you know, if I'm Detroit, is this a must-win game?

01:20If I'm Dallas, I know it's must-win.

01:21I can't – I don't have a lot of room for error here moving forward.

01:26On the road, you know, it would be nice to see Dallas win a game on the road, Donnie,

01:31with this new defense because we've only had a chance to see them at home.

01:35But the reality is it's in a dome.

01:38It's inside.

01:39It's – this could be either one of the highest-scoring games of the week, Donnie,

01:44or this could turn into be which team makes the most mistakes

01:49and a sloppy affair in which somebody's going to win it on a field goal.

01:52I tend to think points could be coming in this game.

01:54So, let's get started.
