Cowboys vs Packers matchup preview and current betting lines
The Dallas Cowboys will travel to Lambeau Field after their bye week for a date with the slumping Green Bay Packers. This could be a complicated setup for Mike McCarthy’s team; as you know, it’s just about time they get a win.
However, there’s absolutely no reason to think the Packers have what it takes to be a legit contender this season. So, maybe bettors will be tempted to just sit this one out rather than continue burning cash with the Cheeseheads.
The Cowboys are going through an impressive season, but people still doubt their ability to beat good teams. Moreover, Mike McCarthy’s decision-making continues to be a big reason for concern among America’s Team supporters.
So, this game would be the perfect opportunity for the Cowboys to make a statement. They can crush the Packers’ hopes for this season and who knows? Maybe even send Aaron Rodgers to the bench for the remainder of the season.
Players to watch:
Dak Prescott: Dak Prescott has been quite solid for the most part this season. But some still feel like he’s left some to be desired and would like to see him scramble and make plays with his feet again.
Aaron Rodgers: Aaron Rodgers needs to start putting his money where his mouth is. He’s held everybody accountable and openly called his teammates out, so he better step up and proves why he’s one of the best to ever do it.
Week 10 Predictions: NFL Bet of the week on Cowboys vs Packers
Cowboys -5.5
The opening Cowboys vs Packers spread has the visitors as 5.5-point favorites. So, oddsmakers believe that the Green Bay Packers will lose their sixth game in a row. Notably, it’s hard to argue with that logic after watching them play this season.
Matt LaFleur seems over his head right now. Aaron Rodgers has thrown head-scratching passes into double coverage, injuries continue to ramp up, and they’ve even been on the wrong end of some unlucky 50/50 balls.
Some believe it’s time the Packers move on from the reigning MVP and focus on next season already. So, don’t be shocked if they turn to Jordan Love to give him a chance to showcase their skills while they plan for the upcoming draft.
The Dallas Cowboys are fresh off a bye week, so they had more than enough time to plan ahead for this game, and you know McCarthy has it marked on his calendar. They’re a much better team than the Detroit Lions, so there’s also that.
Over 43
The opening Cowboys vs Packers odds have the game total sitting at just 43 points. That makes sense, considering the Packers have little-to-no weapons on their offense, Rodgers has been erratic in the red-zone, and they’ve been brutal as of late.
However, they did put up 400+ yards of offense vs. the Detroit Lions, and even the worst version of Aaron Rodgers can move the chains when given enough time. It’s just a matter of time before this team has an offensive outburst.
Also, the Cowboys have an interesting set of weapons in CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Dak Prescott, and the Tony Pollard-Ezekiel Elliott tandem, so you know they’re going to put up points on the scoreboard multiple times.
Dallas’ defense is solid and will put plenty of pressure on Rodgers and his shaky offensive line, and a couple of costly turnovers could also lead to plenty of points. This game may not be a shootout, but it’ll go over 43 points with ease.
