You're in a win/win scenario here. No one expects the Cowboys to win.. so if they do, you can be all "I told you so!" And if they don't no one is going to brag about the Packers beating the Cowboys. They are a 7 point dog.

Agreed and that’s kinda my point. Hype and talk is just that. Did anyone expect the Browns to beat the Packers last week?

I’m in a barely winnable situation. If the Cowboys win, yes I will talk mad shit and have every right to do so. If they lose and it’s a close game (1 possession game), I’ll be defeated but not completely crushed. If it’s an easy Packers win and they blowout the Cowboys by a wide margin of say 3 touchdowns like everyone is saying will happen, you have my word that I’ll abandon all hopes of a winning season or making the playoffs.

How many sacks do you think Micah gets this game? I’m going with 1. Not 0, but 1. We have two key players on our O line injured, but I believe the Cowboys know how to contain Micah. Watch as we run the ball right at him. If we win this game like I think we will, we’re going to have have >150 rushing yards.

No. That single game probably cost more people their Survival league season.

Not everyone believes it'll be a 3 td win... the spread is actually down to 6 1/2 points this morning.

I believe the final score will be closer than the game actually is... with the Packers controlling the game from start to finish.

2 1/2 sacks and under 100 rushing yards. They held Gibbs and Montgomery to under 50 yards. If the Cowboys have a chance, they will have to do it through the air.

Yeah, I saw the Vegas spread. I was more referring to ESPN and other stuff I watched. Nobody is giving the Cowboys a chance and every sports commentator I heard predicts a blowout win by Greenbay. I expect as much from Stephen A Smith, but I haven’t heard anyone say they believe this will be a competitive game.

We’ll get some work done in the air, but if we win the story is going to be about the Cowboys run game. I don’t expect many deep balls caught with Lamb out this game, but we can still get a good share of quick routes.

I’ll revise to say if the Packers dominate the entire game and we have no realistic shot to win in the 4th quarter, I’ll concede to everything you said and will admit the Cowboys are not a good enough team to be threat in the NFC. Packers are a defensive team so I understand what you mean.

Also, I expect Brandon Aubrey will get at least two >45 yard FGs. Cowboys win by 3.

Last, I like Micah, but to even suggest he would get a tribute welcome in AT&T stadium is ludicrous. He is/was a good player, but didn’t do shit for the Cowboys to win us games that really mattered. If I were at the game, I’d be silent (neither boo nor cheer) when he runs onto our field.
