OUR PREDICTION: The Cowboys have a potent running game thanks to Ezekiel Elliott but the Packers lead the league in run defense, allowing just 42.8 yards per game on the ground. If Dallas can’t move the ball on the ground, that puts more pressure on rookie quarterback Dak Prescott to make plays with his arm. As good as he has been this season, perhaps this is the opponent that will make him play like a rookie fourth-rounder in just his sixth NFL start. The Cowboys are 1-4 against the spread in their last five games versus the Packers and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven trips in Green Bay.
