NFL Divisional Round Preview and Free Pick - Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys



Free pick and preview for the NFC Divisional round playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.

In a marquee matchup in the Divisional Round of this season's NFL playoffs, the 11-6 Green Bay Packers will go on the road to face the 13-3 Dallas Cowboys this Sunday in a 4:40 p.m. (ET) start on FOX at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys have been opened by VietBet at four-point home favorites and the total line for this NFC tilt has been set at 51.5.

Green Bay was able to quickly overcome a sluggish first half in this past Sunday's 38-13 victory at home against the New York Giants to easily cover VietBet's closing five-point spread. The total went OVER the 46.5-point closing line and it has gone OVER in the Packers' last five games. They have now won their last seven games straight-up while going a profitable 6-1 ATS.

Green Bay packers betting previewIt is no big surprise that veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers has played at a very high level during this current winning streak, but he may be missing one of his top targets if Jordy Nelson's sore ribs keeps him out of the lineup. In his absence for most of last week's game, both Davante Adams and Randall Cobb crossed the 100-yard mark in receiving yards. Rodgers ended that game against the Giants with 362 passing yards and four scoring strikes.

The betting line has risen at many sportsbooks since the opening odds were posted, and the current NFL football betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated Vietbet has the Cowboys as a four and half point favorite.

Green Bay Packers (+4.5) -110
Dallas Cowboys       (-4.5) -110

Over 52.5 points (-110)
Under 52.5 points (-110)

Dallas earned the top seed in the conference with its 13 SU wins, but its record ATS fell to 10-5-1 after failing to cover in five of its final six games. The total stayed UNDER VietBet's closing 44-point line in a season-ending 27-13 loss to Philadelphia as 6.5-point road underdogs and it has stayed UNDER in five of the Cowboys' last seven games.

Dallas Cowboys free pickTwo of the main reasons for the Cowboys' success this season after winning just four games in 2015 have been the play of a pair of rookies in quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott. Both players will be firmly under the spotlight come Sunday afternoon in Big D as they try to keep things going on a much bigger stage than the regular season. How each player handles the added pressure of playing for a spot in the NFC Championship will go a long way towards dictating the outcome of this Divisional Round game.

Given the choice between a veteran quarterback that has already lead his team to Super Bowl glory and a rookie playing in his first postseason contest, I will take the four points at VietBet that Rodgers and Co. go on to make the Cowboys' stay in the playoffs a short one.
