Green Bay Packers vs Dallas Cowboys preview
The Green Bay Packers (4-4) are hosting the Dallas Cowboys (6-2) Sunday and it should be an offensive shootout. The Cowboys are playing as well as anyone right now and Tony Romo is the main reason. If the Packers can get Romo to play more like he did in the beginning of the year, then they will have a much better chance. Romo has 9 touchdowns and 1 interception in the Cowboys current four game winning streak and has been hitting Mile Austin for many of those touchdowns. The Packers need to make sure Austin doesn’t beat them for any big plays, as that is pretty much all Austin has been doing. He has 27 catches for 612 yards (22.6 yards per catch) and 7 touchdowns this year.
The Packers offensive line needs to figure out a way to protect Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has been sacked more than any other quarterback this year but has still been putting up very good numbers. The Cowboys are going to score some points, so the Packers are going to need to keep up. Rodgers has the ability to, if he gets enough protection. Ryan Grant can help with that too. If the running game can have a big day, Rodgers will have more time in that pocket to hit Donald Driver and Brandon Jennings. I expect this to be an exciting offensive game, but with the way the Cowboys have been playing lately I am not betting against them.
FINAL SCORE PREDICTION: Dallas Cowboys 34, Green Bay Packers 30
