Dallas Cowboys Performance Recap and Analysis
The Dallas Cowboys have put themselves in a very good position as they rank just behind the Philadelphia Eagles for the top spot in the NFC. Dallas looks like they are starting to put things together on the offensive side of the football and getting Dak Prescott back in the lineup. The offense exploded in their last matchup, totaling 49 points in a victory over the Bears in week Eight.
For the first time this season, the Cowboys stats offensively were able to pass the 25-point mark. The offense has not been as potent as in years past, as they are averaging just 322.1 yards. However, they have shown the most improvement on the defensive side of the ball. The Cowboys rank tenth in yards allowed (313.5) and rank third in points allowed (16.6).
Perhaps the Cowboys are starting to show their all-around potential. They enter this matchup coming off a bye week in their NFL schedule, and they should be well-rested to take on the Packers.

Green Bay Packers Performance Recap and Analysis
What is going on with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers? Green Bay fell to the Detroit Lions 15-9 last week, dropping them to third in the NFC North while marking their fifth straight loss. Aaron Rodgers threw three red zone interceptions, the first time he has thrown multiple interceptions in the red zone in his career.
The Green Bay Packers are now in a must-win territory as they look to salvage their season with a tough matchup on the road. The Packers’ offense has been mediocre, as they have averaged just 17.1 points per game. The bottom line is they need Rodgers to play better. He does not have the same weapons as in years past.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers Betting Picks
Moneyline
Green Bay is in dire need of a win when it comes to the Packers’ game prediction. After being humiliated by the Lions, Green Bay has lost five straight games. Although the Packers have the home-field advantage this week, they will be playing one of the best teams in the NFC.

(Cowboys -215)
Over/Under
The Under is the play when it comes to Cowboys vs Packers betting picks. The Packers have struggled to score, including posting just nine points in a cozy dome against the Lions’ 32nd-ranked defense. Similarly, in their last contest, the Cowboys topped 25 points for the first time all year. Lambeau Field will be cold and wet, and this game will get sloppy. Expect a defensive battle in this matchup. (Under 43 -110)
Spread
The Cowboys have been spread darlings up to this point in the season. Dallas has covered the spread in six of their last seven contests, while the Packers have failed to cover in five of their last six contests.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers Score Prediction
Surprisingly, the Cowboys enter this matchup just 1-8 straight up over their last nine contests against the Packers. Dating back to 2009, the Packers have covered the spread in seven out of the previous nine matchups.
Despite this, the Cowboys are trending up, while the Packers are trending down. The Packers have lost five straight contests, which was highlighted by an embarrassing loss to the Detroit Lions in their last game.
The bottom line is the Packers lack the weapons on offense while Aaron Rodgers’s ability has certainly declined. The Cowboys get an extra week of rest and have played like one of the best NFC teams in the league. The Cowboys go into Lambeau Field and destroy the Packers.
