1. Dallas Is The Better Team.

The old saying of any team can win on any given Sunday is true, and that certainly remains true for Green Bay this week. But we cannot ignore the stark differences between the talent level and the recent performance of both teams. In both of those categories, the Cowboys win without debate.

Dallas stands at 6-2, even after missing their quarterback for five weeks. Green Bay is a 3-6 team that hasn’t played well even when healthy, and now they are far from that.

With over a week to prepare, injuries clearing up, and the Packers on the decline there is no question which team has the momentum and advantage heading into this week. The Cowboys have more pure talent and able bodies as they head up north.

The energy Dallas is bringing into games is contagious, and you could sense that all the way back to August during the preseason. Green Bay on the other hand is simply a different story. Morale seems low, intensity is down, mistakes are frequent and the offense looks out of wack.

As I said, you can’t count the Packers out solely because of these things, but when you really break things down there are very few reasons to be seriously concerned about this matchup.
