Better QB?
Dallas was 1-5 ATS last 6 games, only cover was against 9 fingered Stafford.
GB 6-1 ATS last 7, only non cover was 3 point win in frigid Chicago, laying 5 on the road.
Rodgers is best in NFL with Brady, Dak is good but no way in the same category as Rodgers, Brady, then Ryan, Ben, et al.
Rodgers in a dome has complete command, every type of pass, long touch passes, everything. Dallas D is mediocre.
If GB was not banged up in the secondary they would be a clear choice to win the game outright. Their front 7 is very good against the run.
Wait, did you say better QB?

Elliot ran for 156 vs their "feared" front 7 at that time. Nobody thought Dallas could run the ball. Sorry but I'll take the cowboys Oline over the Packers front seven all damn day. Not to mention Dallas did not have dez then and Dak was playing under crazy pressure week in and week out, basically playing for his job every Sunday because of constant talk about the qb controversy. Yes Rodgers is a better QB but to say if GBs secondary was healthy they would be the clear cut choice???? Dallas ate them up in Lambeu with no dez. I'm Def fading the public money on greenbay. Dallas so far for me.
Varkey: no jordy no problem??? They had jordy and only posted 16. Leaning heavy packers TT Under 23.5. Over seems too easy.

You refer to the previous game as the only factor. 159 yards, so what, take away the longest one and it is not so important. No Dez? GB had no Cook, who has emerged as a difference maker. GB had FOUR (4) turnovers that game, not gonna happen again. Much more, that is enough for now.
I do not handicap based on one game TWO months ago. DO you?
GB has been HOT the last 7 games, they have jelled, Dallas has been a bit flat last six games (though some of that is that they were "coasting"). GB OL is healthy, now, sure Nelson out but Rodgers has plenty of weapons. In a dome, he can drop a pass on a dime from 30 yards. Dak, I am not so sure. Yes he is effective with a great OL and a great RB and excellent receivers, but if GB can stuff the run enough and make Dak throw from the pocket, 3rd and 8, 3rd and 7, 3rd and 11, then GB can win this game straight up. Dallas D is mediocre, weakest aspect is their pass rush.
Wait, very weak pass rush against Aaron Rodgers? In a dome? Let me think about that.
We shall see.
Oh no. I def don't cap just from that one game. Just pointing out that majority didnt think they could run on GB and they did that's all. I'm more about where pub money going and line movements etc. Moreover it's not like packers beat up top quality teams their last 7 games. Seattle was in shambles at that point and giants were just not as good as Everyone made them out to be.
