Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys
Sunday, January 15, 2017 4:40 PM
Play: Point Spread: -4.5/-105 Dallas Cowboys
Free Pick on Cowboys -
The betting public will certainly be on Green Bay given the run Rodgers and the Packers are on. While it’s tough betting against Rodgers when he’s playing like this, I like the Cowboys here. Dallas is simply the better team and have the ability to counter Rodgers and the Packers offense.
One of the best ways to beat a team that has an elite quarterback like Rodgers, is not let him have the ball. Unlike the Giants, the Cowboys can do just that. Dallas’ offensive line will have their way with Green Bay’s front. That will lead to a big day from Elliot and the running game. Something they had no answer for in the first meeting.
I also think Prescott will be able to expose the Packers secondary. Keep in mind Eli Manning and the Giants had their chances. New York's receivers didn’t couldn't catch anything and Manning had a number of easy throws that he simply didn't make.
An even bigger factor here is the injuries that Green Bay sustained in the win over New York. The biggest being wide out Jordy Nelson, who won't be available. Running back/wide out Ty Montgomery is probable, but will likely be less than 100%.
The other thing that gets overlooked and has been all season is the Cowboys defense. It might not have the star names, but it produced at a high level. The Cowboys led the league in run defense (83.5 ypg) and were 5th in points allowed (19.1 ppg). I think they can do enough here to slow down Green Bay's offense and pull away for the victory. Take Dallas!
