Point Spread: 5.50 | -110.00 Green Bay (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: The Green Bay Packers struggled early on against the Giants on wild card weekend but in the end, pulled away for a 38-13 win. The Packers are in the postseason for the eighth consecutive year wand will take a seven-game winning streak into their game at Dallas this Sunday. The Cowboys are in the postseason for only the second time in seven years but get set to host the Packers as the NFC's No. 1 seed, after going 13-3 during the regular season.
Green Bay: Aaron Rodgers finished the regular season with an NFL-high 40 TD passes and just seven INTs, after he struggled down the stretch last season and in the early going of 2016. He started poorly against the Giants last Sunday but even though Jordy Nelson was lost to a rib injury in the first half, Rodgers threw for 362 yards and four TDs. Adams caught eight passes for 125 yards (TD) and Cobb five for 116 yards with three TDs. Nelson and his NFL-leading 14 TD catches won't play against the Cowboys but Rodgers remains confident facing Dallas' 26th-ranked pass defense (260.4 YPG). Green Bay's offense draws most of the headlines but during the team's seven-game winning streak, the much-maligned Packers D has allowed just 17.9 PPG.
Dallas: Dak Prescott was the steal of the NFL draft as a fourth-round selection and he's made everyone in Big D forget about Tony Romo. He completed 67.8% of his passes for 3,667 yards with 23 TDs and just four INTs, while running for six scores, Prescott and RB Ezekiel Elliott, may be the best one-two rookie combo in NFL history. Elliott led the NFL with 1,631 rushing yards (on 5.1 YPC with 15 TDs). The Cowboys have controlled the line of scrimmage offensively, by rushing for 149.8 YPG (2nd) on 4.8 YPC. The Dallas D ranks first in rushing yards allowed (83.5 YPG on only 3.9 YPC) and while the secondary has been a problem, teh Cowboys finished the regular season 5th in points allowed (19.1 PPG).
The pick: "They were off last week, and they're hosting the game (Sunday), so there's extra pressure on them as the No. 1 seed to win," Rodgers told reporters. "And we're coming in with a lot of confidence and riding the streak. We're feeling good about the way we've been playing." Maybe we should trust Rodgers, as proved to be a man of his word when he told reporters that the Green Bay Packers were capable of running the table to secure a playoff bid when the team was just 4-6. Seven wins later and here they are. Rodgers has thrown 19 TDs and not a single interception in Green Bay's streak (Packers haven't turned the ball over in their last five games). Meanwhile, The Cowboys were just 1-5 ATS their last six games of the regular season and Dallas owns an 'ugly' playoff resume since the team's last Super Bowl win (after the 1995 season), going 3-8 SU. Make Green Bay a 10* play.
