A blockbuster matchup on Sunday Night Football wraps up a packed day for NFL fans that began early in the morning.
If you haven’t heard, star pass rusher Micah Parsons and the Packers are in Dallas tonight to take on Parsons’ former team.
Green Bay (2-1) is coming off a shocking, ugly loss in Cleveland last Sunday but remains a legit Super Bowl contender after dominant wins over the Lions in Week 1 and the Commanders in Week 2.
Dallas has had its moments, especially offensively, but is 1-2 coming into tonight’s game. The Cowboys dropped a hard-fought battle with the Eagles in Week 1, survived an overtime shootout with the Giants in Week 2 and lost to the Bears in Week 3 due to a rough defensive performance.

Packers vs. Cowboys Betting News, Analysis
Futures odds aren’t everything, but it’s hard to overstate how differently oddsmakers view these teams.
While Green Bay is tied with the Eagles for the shortest odds to win the NFC (+370 at DraftKings as of today), Dallas is currently 80-to-1 to win the conference (DK).
And at FanDuel, the Packers are seen as a lock to make the playoffs (-550). The Cowboys, on the other hand, are listed at +430 in that market.

Micah Parsons Player Prop Odds vs. Cowboys
How many sacks is Micah Parsons going to get tonight?
That might be the biggest question of the night for casual fans across the league. We have great news for anyone is not just asking that question, but looking to place a related bet: yes, you sure can bet on whether Parsons will record a sack tonight.
At DraftKings, Micah Parsons is -192 to record a sack (implied probability: 65.75 percent). If you’re expecting him to go off for multiple sacks, DK offers Parsons 2+ sacks at +220 and Parsons 3+ sacks at +700.
Over at FanDuel, Parsons is -182 to get to Dak Prescott (or whoever is under center for Dallas).
My two cents: there’s certainly not much value on Parsons to record one sack at either -182 or -192, but he is worth a sprinkle, IMO, at +220 to record 2+ sacks.
Best GB vs. DAL player prop: Rashan Gary 1+ Sacks (+124)
If there’s a “player to get a sack” prop bet I recommend tonight, it would have to be Rashan Gary (+124 at DK).
So far, the biggest beneficiary (but certainly not the only one) of the Parsons trade has been the seventh-year pass rusher, who boasts a league-leading 4.5 sacks.
Packers vs. Cowboys Prediction, Best Bets
I don’t have a hot take regarding how this game will go.
This Green Bay defense should feast, and I’d be bullish on that unit owning the Cowboys even if they were at full strength. Without CeeDee Lamb or guard Tyler Booker, I expect this to be a long night for Prescott and the ‘Boys.
I’m not so sure this will be a blowout, though, because Green Bay is far from full strength offensively. Starting right tackle Zach Tom has been ruled out, starting guard Aaron Banks is doubtful, and backup tackle Anthony Belton is also unavailable.
Tight end Tucker Kraft and running back Josh Jacobs will be in action tonight, but both are battling injuries that could further hamper this offense, which struggled from start to finish vs. Cleveland last week.
Let’s go with Green Bay to win by a touchdown. I also like the first-half under as well as Dallas to go under its team total.
Green Bay -6.5 (-110 at bet365) — 0.5 units
First Half Under 23.5 (-110 at FD) — 0.5 units
Cowboys Team Total Under 19.5 (-102 at DK) — 0.5 units
