Sunday’s NFL slate concludes with an NFC showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC). Most people marked this game on the calendar as a chance to see Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons make his 2026 debut against his former team. Alas, Parsons is not ready to play as he rehabs from his ACL tear. Still, Cowboys-Packers is always compelling.
The Cowboys defense has been a sieve ever since they traded Parsons before the 2025 season, and there was a players-only meeting last week following an embarrassing Thursday night loss to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now they must face a Packers offense that came to life last week in a big win over the Chicago Bears. Jordan Love passed for 367 yards and two touchdowns; Christian Watson and Matthew Golden combined for 266 receiving yards. They’ll need to stay hot if they want to keep up with Dak Prescott and a Dallas offense that averages more than 27 points per game.
The Packers are 1.5-point favorites at home.
So…
