I don't feel as confident about this game as I did the Giants.  I'm not worried about the Packers offense.  They dominated a very very good Giants defense and will do the same to a pretty weak Cowboys defense.  

I agree that the Packer offense has been rolling, but am not sure where this "pretty weak Cowboy defense" is coming from.

Defensive Rankings:

Points : Dallas (5th) , for reference Green Bay (21st)

Rush : Dallas(1st), Green Bay (8th)

Pass : Dallas(26th), Green Bay (31st)

Cowboys have the 5th rated defense overall. Weak in pass defense, yes, but underrated and certainly not weak overall.

The good news is that the Packer offense just dominated the #2 ranked defense. During thier "Run the Table" streak, the Pack has beaten the #2, 3, 6, 11, 12, and 13th ranked defenses.  In those games they are averaging 32 points per game. 

So the Packer offense needs to beat another good defense. One the other side, Dom needs to pull one out of his ass.
