By DVOA, Football Outsiders has Dallas Special Teams ranked #2 overall— Green Bay ranked 30th.

That is quite the disparity. Should be a significant advantage for Dallas.

Our running game vs the GB D that is missing arguably their best player in Rashan Gary, is another big advantage.

Rodgers may be able to muster a great game today, but the field is tilted towards Dallas in all the right ways. Here is to a great game and homecoming for McCarthy to stick it to our nemesis today

I think GB is going to focus on stopping the run, which should allow us to go deep a few times. the cold weather might become a factor, so they may gamble. stop our running game and the offense will struggle and keep the game close and put in rodgers hand to pull it out in the end.

The high for the day will be 35 degrees and happens to be at time of kickoff.
1 percent chance of precipitation.
Weather should not be a factor at all for this game.

Dak will be the X factor today. The Packers are going to sellout at the LOS to stop the run and make Dak beat their man coverage.
Going to be tough for them. Not impossible, but tough.

Gary was their pass rush specialist. Campbell was arguably the best overall linebacker … was quietly 1st team All Pro last season. Stokes being out means they are down their #2 CB. I’ve watched tape and Alexander can beat beat. Terry McLaurin absolutely owned him in crunch time. Kenny Clark is still an absolute beast in the middle.

It is a positive matchup for us all over the board. I don’t believe they should be favored in any factor in the game.

But it is the NFL. Their first home game in a while, cold weather, season on the line and us coming off a bye week. I believe we win, but something is brewing and I hope it’s just the burrito I had.

Burritos sound like they may be on the game menu today.
Hope your belly feels better by game time.

This is not Packers from the past. For all those Chicken Little fans please explain to me how Rodgers throws for 300 yards with this receiving core. The only chance Packers have is their thunder and lightning running game with Jones/Dillon. I think our defense is well rested and will be up for the task.

It's always Rodgers that beats us. Simple, keep Rodgers off the field with ball control and TOP. Run the ball effectively, run the qb to keep drives alive, short passes, then take your shot downfield. But alas, we know our OC gets antsy when we're not throwing the ball all around.

This is true.

He just doesn’t have the cast of years past. He’s always had a Driver, Jennings, Nelson, Adams etc. His main guy is Lazard who at times is good but not elite. Marcedes Lewis is one of their TEs and he is 38.

I am saying this and watch everyone of these guys go off. But in the games I have watched they have gone long periods of not sustaining drives and just no receivers open.

I put Diggs on Lazard and load the box for Jones.

Pollard is the X factor again today. If he gets it going again the Cowboys offense is unstoppable.
