The Packers own the Cowboys. They’ve beaten them the last four times they’ve played, and three of those wins were in Dallas. Considering this is Mike McCarthy’s former team, I’m sure this one means more for both him and the Packers. Will Jordan Love and this red-hot offense beat Dallas for the fifth time in a row, or will the Cowboys beat the Packers for the first time since 2016 tonight?

Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys Prediction
Don’t let Green Bay get hot! It might be too late, as the Packers enter the playoffs on a three-game win streak. This team has looked significantly better down the stretch after a rough start to the year. The main reason this team has improved so much is their QB, Jordan Love. He has stepped up immensely for the Packers this year, especially of late.
The more teams blitz against Jordan Love, the better he plays. He has the highest QB rating in the second half of the season against the blitz. Do you know which team in the NFL blitzes the most? It just so happens to be Micah Parsons and this Cowboys defense. Bringing the house every play might not be the smartest move for Dan Quinn and this defense...
If Dallas doesn’t want to lose another game as a favorite in the playoffs, they are going to have to keep up with the Packers offense. Luckily for the Cowboys, they have CeeDee Lamb. The Packers’ secondary has been solid all year, but nobody has been able to slow down CeeDee.
I’m expecting plenty of points in this NFC battle. The last time these two teams played, Christian Watson had over 100 yards and three touchdowns. He has a great matchup against the most blitz-heavy defense in the NFL this afternoon. When Jordan Love is getting blitzed, Christian Watson is the most-targeted receiver on this team. Expect him to be utilized early and often, as he should be able to create plenty of space against the Cowboys man coverage.
The Packers could win this game outright, but considering they’ve done that the last three times they traveled to Jerry’s World, it almost feels too easy. Instead of taking a side in this matchup, bet the over. The total is on the rise, and if the Packers want any chance of keeping this game close, they are going to have to keep up with CeeDee Lamb and this potent Cowboys offense. Bet the over and enjoy the show; I’ll meet you at the cash counter.
