How Packers and Parsons Could Shatter Dallas’ Hopes in a Shocking Showdown

Packers vs. Cowboys, 8:20 ET

Sunday Night Football has typically been reserved for the best or second-best game of the Sunday schedule. It doesn’t always work out that way. Last week, we had the Giants and the Chiefs playing. I was able to capture a victory in that one, but it was kind of a lame game. That’s fine, I’d rather win in a boring game than lose in an exciting one. Tonight, we get a game that should be pretty entertaining as the Packers head to Texas to take on the Cowboys.

The Packers come into the game with a 2-1 record and some made up controversy following them. Las Vegas made a boatload of money on the Packers losing to the Browns last week, and fake accounts speculated they threw the game. I personally lost money on them, as they were the lone team of a small moneyline parlay I bet that did not win. I didn’t watch the full game, but them losing doesn’t exactly make me think they threw the game. It was a bit surprising to see how poorly they played, given that the team looked great in their first two weeks, and they had extra time to prepare for the game. The team was one of a few that had a blocked field goal, and that switched the game from them winning 13-10 to them losing by the same score. Looking at the drives, it seems like maybe Cleveland just had their best defensive game. It isn’t overly shocking considering the Browns do play better in Cleveland. I still expect a better effort and result out of them as they head to Dallas who has virtually no defense whatsoever. I also expect Micah Parsons to do some damage against his former team. This is going to be a game for him to send a message to Jerry Jones.
