The Green Bay Packers can work off of their sweetest offensive performance of the season when a classic rival visits Lambeau Field.
Green Bay hosts the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 18, with both teams trying to gain ground in the NFC playoff picture.
The Packers improved to 3-2 with a victory over the Chicago Bears last weekend, while the Cowboys sit at 2-3 following a disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The matchup also renews a rivalry that had a rare NFL finish. Green Bay and Dallas played to a 40-40 tie in 2025, the second-highest-scoring tie in NFL history, per to the Packers’ official game notes.
This meeting features two quarterbacks capable of generating explosive plays.

Odds are subject to change before kickoff.
Kalshi’s matchup market showed Green Bay with a 50% chance of winning, as of 1:13 a.m. ET on Sunday, Oct 18. And Polymarket’s game market has the Packers with a 51% shot at victory.
Green Bay holds the NFL’s least productive rushing attack at 60.4 yards per game so far, via the Packers’ Week 6 breakdown.
However, Dallas has allowed a league-worst 168.4 rushing yards per game. Therefore, MarShawn Lloyd and the Packers’ offensive line might find themselves more capable than usual.
Lloyd scored his first two career rushing touchdowns against Chicago, a positive sign for an offense that couldn’t fire up its running game early in the season.
The Cowboys are dangerous through the air, though. Prescott has receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens available, creating challenges for a Green Bay defense dealing with injuries.
The Packers should find success attacking Dallas on the ground while using Love’s downfield passing ability to create scoring windows.
Prescott’s weapons make a comfortable victory so-so to imagine, but Green Bay has a slight edge at home.
Prediction: Packers 31, Cowboys 27.
Pick: Packers -1.5; lean Over 53.5.
