Cowboys at Packers

The Dallas Cowboys travel north to meet the Packers on the frozen tundra of Green Bay. How the frigid weather impacts the passing game will be a key factor. Both QBs earned top figures on the most important independent stat in the game, Yards per Pass Attempt. Charts below show Packers, top, and Dallas, bottom, on Yards per Pass Attempt.

2014 through Week 17


Stat profiles for each club are top-to-bottom excellent. Dallas runs a little more, Packers pass D is stronger.

Slight edge on stats to the Pack. Adding three points to it for the home field, the computer picks Green Bay by 5. I'll take the Packers as well as they seem to take these cold-weather games in full stride.
