This Sunday night’s Week 6 clash between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys is screaming high-scoring action, with FanDuel Sportsbook slapping a massive 52.5 expected point total on the game. Honestly, after seeing these offenses, it feels like that number is practically begging for some fireworks.
Jordan Love Just Torched the Bears, What Now, Dallas?
Listen, if you weren’t convinced about Jordan Love before, you gotta be paying attention now. The dude just shredded the Chicago Bears last weekend, throwing for more than 350 yards in a dominant 31-7 win. That was the first time the Packers hit over 30 points since last Thanksgiving, and it looks like Love and the deep ball are cooking. The Packers offense, which some folks were worried about a few weeks back, is absolutely finding its groove. When your quarterback is slinging it like that, good things happen, and Green Bay is ready to roll at home.
Cowboys’ Offense Is Electric, But Their Defense Is a Sieve
On the other side, the Dallas Cowboys are no slouches on offense. Dak Prescott is leading a potent attack, dishing out passes to an excellent receiver tandem in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Before their surprising 24-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Thursday, these Cowboys were putting up at least 31 points in three straight games! They can light up the scoreboard with the best of them. But here’s the thing: their defense. Yikes. Dallas has allowed at least 20 points in every single one of their five games so far, and they’ve given up 28 or more in three of those five. They rank in the bottom five of pretty much every major statistical category. The Packers’ D has been a bit all over the place, giving up 35+ in two games but holding opponents to 17 or fewer in three. Still, the overall picture here points to a shootout.
Sticking with the Home Team to Light Up the Scoreboard
Look, APC’s writers are all-in on the over for this one, and honestly, can you blame us? These two teams combined for a ridiculous 80 points in their tie game last year in Texas. There’s just no reason to expect a low-scoring affair this week. When it comes to picking a winner, we’re backing the home team. Green Bay is expected to put up huge numbers against a Cowboys defense that’s been bleeding points all season. Every single writer is picking the Packers straight up and against the spread at GB -1.5. And for the point total, it’s over, over, over! One of our writers, Justis, even called the over the “LOCK OF THE YEAR.” So, get ready for a ton of points and expect Green Bay to come out on top.
This Sunday night, get ready for an offensive explosion. With both teams capable of big plays and the Cowboys’ defense struggling, we’re anticipating a high-flying game. Make sure you’re tuned in to see if the Packers can keep their offensive momentum rolling and if Love can continue to shine in Week 6.
