The Packers got another huge game from QB Aaron Rodgers last week (362 yards, 4 TD passes) as he is playing the best football of his career right now. Over the past 7 games he has tossed 19 TD passes, thrown for 2,029 yards, completed 69.6% of his passes and hasn’t thrown an interception. He also has 4 TD passes in each of his past 3 games. Dallas yielded 260.4 ypg through the air this season and while some of that was based on teams playing catchup, they only picked off 9 passes while surrendering 25 TD throws. WR Jordy Nelson (cracked ribs) isn’t expected to play this week but the Pack got a nice boost with the return of WR Randall Cobb last week (5-116-3). WRs Davante Adams and rookie Geronimo Allison are good targets while role players TE Jared Cook and FB Aaron Ripkowski have also stepped up their play in recent weeks. Dallas played good run defense this season (83.5 ypg, 3.9 ypc) but again, some of that is because teams were playing from behind. WR-RB Ty Montgomery has given Green Bay at least the threat of the run and RB Christine Michael ran hard against the Giants while Montgomery was briefly out of the game. Dallas DE David Irving had a huge game in the first matchup (3 forced fumbles, one recovered fumble and one sack) and finished the season strong. LT David Bakhtiari and RT Bryan Bulaga have to neutralize Irving and the rest of the Cowboys’ pass rushers as they upped their game late in the season.

Dallas will try to do this week what they have done all season: control the game with the run. Rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott won the rushing title with 1,631 yards and also ran it in 14 times. He had a great game at Lambeau Field earlier in the year (157 rushing yards). He also runs behind 3 first-team all-pros (LT Tyron Smith, C Travis Frederick, RG Zack Martin) and the Packers have to play better run defense than they did in October and the latter half of the season. I expect them to overplay the run early and force rookie QB Dak Prescott to show he can beat them consistently down the field. He’ll be looking in WR Dez Bryant’s direction as he is likely to be matched up with 2nd-year, former undrafted rookie CB LaDarius Gunter. The youngster held up well vs. WR Odell Beckham Jr. last week (4-28) but Beckham did drop a TD pass as well as some other catchable balls. Gunter will get safety help like he did last week. WR Cole Beasley led Dallas with 75 receptions and 833 yards receiving and the ageless TE Jason Witten remains a viable target. The Packers had 40 sacks this season and can get after the QB while the Cowboys gave up 28 sacks. The Green Bay defenders, like LBs Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, have to do a good job of getting to Prescott and to keep him from making big plays with his feet (282 rushing yards, 6 TDs).
