The Detroit Lions visit the Dallas Cowboys in one of three pick 'em NFL games this week. Ask the sports universe, however, and the game is anything but an even match.
NFL Picks Week 4: Lions Vs. Cowboys
While oddsmakers are calling this game a pick ‘em, experts around the web are overwhelmingly siding with the Detroit Lions over the Dallas Cowboys.

The parade of Lions believers (that still feels icky coming off my keyboard) begins with Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, giving Detroit a six point advantage on the strength of Ndamukong Suh sounding nostalgic.
"I can reach back in my memory bank and remember games like this," Ndamukong Suh told me Wednesday. "Nebraska-Oklahoma, Nebraska-Texas." He said he never thought when he was drafted the Lions would stay doormats. Now the way to 4-0 is to put the kind of rush on Tony Romo that they pestered Donovan McNabb with last week in the second half -- and I think the Lions' defensive front will do it.
ESPN, CBS Sports and Yahoo! Sports all agree, collectively giving Detroit a 15-3 advantage among 18 voters.
ESPN's computerized prognosticator Accuscore and SB Nation's own Andrew Sharp took the less beaten path. Dallas has a 50 percent chance of winning to just 49 percent for Detroit according to Accuscore. Sharp thinks Tony Romo has finally come into his own, but really he just wants to see Suh and DeMarcus Ware duke it out off the field.
