If we continue to play mistake free, then we can beat anyone. We just beat the 2nd run defense in the league, and if our offense gets into a rhythm, then we can definitely beat the 1st, especially if we cause some turnovers.

If the Packers can actually apply pressure to the QB without rushing 6 or even 7, then they'll win.

27-24 Packers

Using Zero rankings, Cowboys were 4th and Packers were 12th overall through entire 2016 regular season.

Same rankings over last four regular season games.
Cowboys are 8th overall, 16th in offense and 8th in defense.
Packers are 2nd overall, 2nd in offense and 15th in defense.

Cowboys went 2 - 2 the final four games.

Green Bay is 4 - 4 on road.
Cowboys are 7 - 1 at home.

Packers have won 4 of last 5 meetings. The loss came this past October.

All time series is tied at 17 a piece.

It was a helluva run ... but ...

Cowboys 23
Packers 17

betting sites only have the cowgirls down -4.5 thats not that bad ... meaning for a homegame they always give -3 so they are basically spotting the cowgirls 1.5 points or I should say GB ...

seabirds are +5 also ... I like our chances better then the hawks ... they really sucked when they played us and if it were not for the refs in the lions game not sure they would of won. I think I saw 4 calls at least not called or called in favor of the birds that game.

chiefs are -1.5 at home ... if I were a betting man (and I am) this is a bet I like. Like the chiefs this year.

crap odds on with the superbowl thou - I dont like to bet unless I get better then 15-1 odds (more fun) ...
Im temped to take a parley with the chiefs and packers winning straight up and then taking the spread on the falcons.

9.99 - 1 with the pack even, falcons -5, and chiefs - 1.5 ...

anyways this is about the dallas gb game ... GB going to take em down - will be great 🙂 28-17

gunter got scorched many times in week 6 against the cowboys. got burned n the wildcard game last weekend too but the wr dropped a td ball.
unless his play picks up significantly the cowboys will put up 30+ again...

I'm not questioning the rankings shown here but statistically I sure don't see where Dallas is ranked 14th in pass D vs GB at 31.
GB gave up 41 more passing yards TOTAL for the year.
Dallas has a higher completion rate (67.5 vs 64.9) allowed. The second worse completion rate allowed in the league.
GB has 17 INT's on the year vs. 9 for the Boys.
Dallas has given up more 1st downs passing than GB
GB has given up 32 TD's passing vs 25 for Dallas so there is that.... But then again NY allowed the second lowest passing TD's in the league at 15 and we all saw how much good that did for them. I would also note that GB gave up 12 passing TD's during that horrendous 4 game losing streak when they had no CB's for the most part.

All I'm getting at is Dallas is not any better against the pass than we are and in many categories worse. NY was a far better team against the pass and ARod ate their lunch. I expect to see him have a huge day Sunday. I think Prescott will throw for a TD and Elliot will run for a couple.
It won't be enough
GB 31
Dallas 24

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
