Dallas only played 5 play-off teams this year and lost 3 of them. They are way over-rated due to a weak schedule... and the Packers were one of the teams that beat them. I like the Packers' chances.

Dallas is 13-3 and The only playoff team loss they had was to the Giants, twice. They beat the Packers 30-16. The other loss was to the Eagles while sitting most of their starters.

The Cowboys do have Randy Gregory, Demarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford, Cedric Thornton, Tyron Smith and Morris Claiborne all returning from previous injuries. All are defensive starters except starting offensive linemen Tyron Smith. AKA "The Scandinavian Squad"

I'm not a Cowboys fan by any stretch, but they beat the Pack, the Steelers, and a few other solid teams like Baltimore.
Packers are gonna have theyre hands full.

Just need the Patriots and the Seahags to go down next week, so there are no more blue state teams left.

I believe all the regular season schedules were pretty much at parity! No blue states! That's a good way to look at it Scott!

The Cowboys did not have a weak schedule. Looks like to me they had the 10th toughest (tied with Philly) and Green Bay's schedule was even weaker. How does that factor into your prediction? http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2017/1/2/14147148/2017-nfl-strength-of-schedule-for-all-32-nfl-teams

Cowboys have a history of "choking". With a rookie QB & RB it will be interesting. The post season is where they play at a different level. Regular season they play, post season they Really Play.

Irregardless of the Cowboys playing the Packers, I was rather interested to see what would happen if Prescott struggled and how quickly the folks in JerryWorld would be clamoring for Romo. That's a ticking time bomb.

As much as it pains me to say it: I see no way for GB to beat Dallas. I see just the opposite.. NO way the Cowboys beat GB unless the refs get in the picture.. It's gonna be a high-scoring game - but Dallas will need to score more than 35 pts to beat 'em.. I'll hafta take a lot of ant-acid pills before THAT kickoff..  Dallas has the best O-line in the NFL. They have a good RB. The packers have an average D, and can't run. THAT is how Dallas can beat GB. I'm not saying they will. But I'll not be surprised if Dallas wins. GB can run, and they have more than one RB which can be a factor. They can run because the defense they face has to respect Rodgers and with Cobbon the field they have deep threat. That opens up a running game. The Dallas secondary is suspect and their pass rush is not great. Dallas does have the best O-line in decades, and the Packers can't stop the run. The over/under on this game ought to be at least 70.

Romo aka the "choker" ain't playing!  Dallas will certainly have their hands full with the Pack! Rodgers was on fire last night, but with Jordy Nelson out, and most of the Cowboy players are now healthy, I think the Cowboys pull this win off. Seachickens will be dominated by the Falcons! QB Matt Ryan will expose Richard Sherman for the punk he really is. Hell, the Seachickens barely beat the Niner's and Kaperdick last weekend. Atlanta wins 35 to 10.

I trusted a post on the internet... sorry about that. But that chart and stuff shows the schedule they played based on last year's numbers, not this season's.
