Despite the Packers’ repeat win over the Giants, the style mismatch with the Dallas Cowboys will see them bullied again like October.

The hype train is right on time as the resurgent Green Bay Packers prepare for a playoff rematch with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Dallas hasn’t won since December 26th, while Green Bay swiped seven straight.

They own two one-sided wins over a Giants team that upended the Cowboys twice.

Surely these Packers are much better than the team Dallas bullied in October?

Let’s not forget, Green Bay was cruising along at 3-1 on October 16th. They entered fresh off a convincing win over New York.

The Packers play the same style of football now as they did two months ago. The same starters played last week as the first meeting with Dallas.

There’s an old saying in boxing that applies well to Sunday, “styles make fights”.

Just as Green Bay exposed a style mismatch over New York, they’ll again fall prey to their inferior match-up with Dallas in the rematch.
