Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers 2010 NFL Predictions, Odds, and Picks Week 9: Head football coach Wade Phillips will lead his Dallas Cowboys north to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night at 8:20 PM ET on NBC’s Football Night in America. Dallas comes in at a lowly 1-6 good for 4th place in the NFC East while Green Bay is at 5-3 good for 1st in the NFC North. Green Bay is looking for its 3rd consecutive win. “It’s important to stack success,” Green Bay head football coach Mike McCarthy said. “The hardest thing to handle in my opinion in the NFL is handling success, and by no means do I think winning two games is a success, but it’s definitely in the right direction. We need to get this one here at home Sunday night and get to the bye. That’s our focus.” The Cowboys are starting with the basics. “Running, blocking, tackling, catching, covering, throwing – we’re not as good as we were,” Phillips said. “Every detail has to be covered. We have to be more precise in some of these things.” The odds makers at SBG Global have the Green Bay Packers -7 point favorites at home against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Packers won a tight contest at the New York Jets with a 9-0 shutout against one of the league’s top teams. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 15 of 34 passes for 170 yards hitting Greg Jennings with 6 balls for 81 yards. Kicker Mason Crosby did all the scoring going 3-4 on his field goal attempts. The Packers defense bent but didn’t break giving up 360 net yards but no points. Green Bay is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games at home and the total has gone OVER in 11 of Green Bay’s last 14 games when playing Dallas. Vegas odds makers have the Green Bay Packers as +900 odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl.
The Dallas Cowboys most recent disappointment was a 35-17 beat down at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Quarterback John Kitna completed 34 of 49 passes for 379 yards a touchdown but 4 picks hitting Jason Witten 10 times for 97 yards and a score. Running backs Felix Jones and Marion Barber platooned for 17 carries and just 38 yards. How coach Phillips is keeping his job is beyond my comprehension. The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Dallas’s last 6 games on the road. Vegas odds makers have the over/under for the total score at 45 1/2 points combined of the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers.
I predict a Green Bay win at home. Rich Fritz is a Blog Writer on NSAwins.com and not a pro handicapper. For expert NFL Football Predictions against the vegas spreads please visit the NSAwins.com homepage for top predictions today from the National Sports Advisors.
