    Cowboys vs Packers Preview and Prediction

    Cowboys vs Packers Preview and Prediction

    Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers

    After a frustrating 2015, the Cowboys finished this year with the NFC's best record: 13-3. America's team surprised everyone led by their rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott and a near-unassailable offensive line that dominated throughout. They host to the Green Bay Packers as -220 favourites while the Packers come back at +180. The Cowboys look to repay them for eliminating the New York Giants, who beat them twice in the season, by beating them en route to their first Conference Finals in 22 years. 

    Both teams come into this game with significant losses. The Cowboys lost DE Randy Gregory to suspension and their 26th-ranked pass defense will pay for it while the Packers may have lost Jordy Nelson and a whole season without the WR stunted the whole team last season. Rodgers has been a man posssessed with the Packers and during their seven-game winning streak posted MVP-like numbers: 19 TD's, 69.6% completion percentage and a 121.7 QB Rating though the Cowboys made him look mortal during their Week 6 matchup. Prescott and Elliott, while proficient in the regular season, still must prove themselves in the postseason.

    The stage is set for the Cowboys to either return to prominence or fall in spectacular fashion again. They have the better linemen and the growing chemistry between Prescott and Dez Bryant is huge but they are still relatively inexperienced especially in comparison to a savvy veteran team like the Packers should have them a bit worried especially with how hot Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense has been. The loss of Gregory also hurts their defense and if Jordy Nelson is able to contribute to some degree the Cheeseheads could just pull off this sizable upset.
