Cowboys Backed to Upset Packers, While Bills Get the Nod Against Raiders

The Sunday night matchup between the Cowboys and Packers drew strong support for Dallas despite the team’s poor defensive play. Green Bay is favored by 1.5 points, but the Cowboys have won the last three times they followed a loss with a road game.

Dallas also enters the game needing a victory to preserve any chance of winning the division. The Eagles are hurt, the Giants were described as a “bad good team,” and the Commanders are a mess. With Dak playing in prime time and the Cowboys under pressure to win, the pick is Dallas plus 1.5 points to pull off the upset in Green Bay.

Another prediction went even further: “Cowboys by 1,000.” The argument was that excitement over Jordan Love’s performance against Chicago overlooked how poor the Bears’ defense has been. Dallas, meanwhile, can score against almost anybody and could turn the game into a blowout.

The discussion also touched on Thursday night games, with the view that they are physically bad for players and that the quality of play declines as the season continues.

In the Bills-Raiders matchup, Buffalo is favored by 4.5 points. With the Raiders falling back to earth, especially after their showing against New England, the pick is Buffalo minus 4.5.
