Preview
It was never going to be hard for Micah Parsons to find motivation in his very quick return to the Dallas Cowboys (1-2), but comments made by Jerry Jones during the week will only have intensified the situation.
Contract negotiations had dragged on for months, but it was still a huge surprise to see the Cowboys trading away someone like Parsons ahead of his prime years. To send him to a Conference rival is even more bizarre and Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers (2-1) will be looking to make a big statement.
They were upset in Week 3 at the Cleveland Browns, but the Packers should have won that game, and they are not facing a team with the same kind of Defensive power in this one.
Injuries on the other side of the ball are going to make it very tough for Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys and it makes it an interesting tactic from Jones to try and rattle Parsons. The Cowboys owner spoke about some of the issues Parsons has had in run blocking and might be expecting Javonte Williams to continue his fine start to the season behind this Dallas Offensive Line.
However, this is the first time the Cowboys could be facing a Defensive Line as strong as the one that the Packers have trotting out onto the field and Williams may not have nearly the same room as in the previous three games. Stopping the run might also have become the focus for Green Bay after the injury to CeeDee Lamb, which has taken away Dak Prescott's favourite target, and the Packers can win up front.
Dak Prescott can still make big plays, but it would be all the tougher from third and long and with Micah Parsons breathing down his neck.
Without CeeDee Lamb, Prescott will need players like Jake Ferguson to step up, but throwing against this Green Bay Secondary will be difficult all day and it could be a tough night in the office for the Quarter Back and the Offensive unit.
The Packers have also had some early struggles running the ball and Josh Jacobs is a little banged up, but there should be more opportunities in this game. Handing the ball off to Jacobs and looking to remain in front of the chains is important for the Packers, but it should be possible to do that and make life a little more comfortable for Jordan Love at Quarter Back.
Kenny Clark was part of the Micah Parsons trade and will be looking to help his new team clamp down on the run, but the road team should have enough successes to keep the Quarter Back in a strong position.
Jordan Love will also be without a key Receiver, but he should have some time in the pocket when he drops back to throw and this Cowboys Secondary have struggled against the pass through the first three weeks of the season. The ball is spread around by Love and he should be able to find open Receivers, which should put the Packers in a spot to win and cover on the road.
Dallas will not have forgotten the Playoff beating here at the end of the 2023 season, but they have lost five in a row and a late Sack from Micah Parsons could put the final touches on this one.
Prediction
Lay the points with the road favourite.
The Pick :
Dallas Cowboys 20-27 Green Bay Packers
