Packers at Cowboys

Packers making the playoffs looks a bit of a surprise, given their slow start. But, they got it together in the season's second half. Look at the steady improvement in their ability to control the ball, as measured by rushes + pass completions.

Rushes + Pass Comp

Green Bay Packers

2023 through Week 17


      Rushes + Completions -- Green Bay Packers

But, can the Packers hang with the Cowboys, one of the stronger teams in the league? Let's look at the two teams on Yards per Pass Attempt.

On offense, edge to the Cowboys, ranking 7 vs 12 for the Packers. Killer Stat, Offense.

Cowboys are stronger on defense too where the teams rank 8 and 18. See both teams on the defensive side of our Killer Stat, (Yards per Pass attempt) chart. Killer Stat, Defense. With Cowboys top 10 on offense and defense and Packers close to average on both, the most important stat in the game suggests a solid edge to Dallas.

Our computer likes the Cowboys by 8. I agree, Packers look outgunned in Dallas.
