In what will once again be a rain soaked Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers are really facing a make-or-break game against the Dallas Cowboys. Win and the Packers will take a game lead over the Vikings for the NFC North Division championship with three to play. Lose and all the problems the Packers displayed in home losses to Detroit and Chicago will once again be front and center.
I think this game comes down to the running game, specifically Eddie Lacy. If the Packers can get Lacy going and can feel confident he won’t drop the ball they should be able sustain drives and keep the Cowboys offense off the field. I know the Cowboys offense doesn’t exactly strike fear in anyone, but this will more than likely be a low scoring game so you definitely want to limit their opportunities.
The Packers’ defense is once again playing well so add a ball-control offense and you have the necessary ingredients to win in sloppy weather. Packers 20, Cowboys 10.
