This Sunday night NFL fans are getting a heavyweight matchup as the Green Bay Packers travel to Arlington to face the Dallas Cowboys in a primetime game kicking off at 820 PM Eastern on NBC. For cable cutters or anyone on the go the game is also available via NBCs Peacock streaming platform and the NBC Sports app so there are plenty of ways to catch every snap.
Heading into Sunday the Packers arrive as 6 and a half point favorites with the over under set at 47 and a half according to ESPNs odds board. That line surprised a few analysts this week given the Cowboys strong home record and tradition. AT&T Stadium often gives Dallas a distinct edge but oddsmakers seem particularly bullish on Green Bays recent momentum especially with quarterback Jordan Love posting some of the best passing metrics of his young career.
Dallas comes in bruised by last weeks tight loss to San Francisco and the pressure is squarely on Dak Prescott to respond. Jerry Jones has spent the week denying any rift in the front office after some heated sideline shots of Coach Mike McCarthy and the QB last Sunday stirred up speculation on local Dallas radio. As the Dallas Morning News notes the vibe in the building is all business and there is no room for panic this early in the season.
On the Green Bay side running back Aaron Jones is questionable after tweaking a hamstring during Thursdays practice. While Packers head coach Matt LaFleur sounded optimistic at Fridays walk through NFL Network reports that Jones is truly a game time decision. Aaron Jones health is mission critical for Green Bay especially matching up with Dallas stellar run defense led by Micah Parsons.
The big talking point in the national media this week is the battle between Dallas high scoring offense and Green Bays opportunistic defense. Watch for Packers rookie safety Keshawn Bullock who is rapidly building a reputation as one of the most impactful firstyear defenders in football according to Sports Illustrated. The Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb is another player to keep eyes on after racking up over 100 yards in his last two outings.
Predictions are all over the map. NFL.coms Gregg Rosenthal is picking Dallas to win a shootout while ESPNs computer model gives the Packers a 60 percent win probability. Both sides see this as a playoffcaliber preview and whichever quarterback settles in first may dictate the flow all night.
