Cowboys vs Packers best bet, preview, picks, betting odds

The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys will resume their longtime playoff rivalry on Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Dallas (12-5) is the No. 2 seed in the East and secured the NFC East Division title with a 38-10 road win over the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Dak Prescott completed arguably his best season as a pro with 279 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb hauled in 13 passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns.

Green Bay (9-8) secured the No. 7 seed in the NFC with a 17-9 victory over the Chicago Bears. The Packers racked up nearly 450 yards with Jordan Love throwing for 316 yards and Aaron Jones rushing for 111 yards. Jayden Reed led all receivers with 112 yards, but Dontayvion Wicks caught both of the touchdown passes.

This is the ninth time the Packers and Cowboys will meet in the postseason with the teams splitting the first eight matchups. The games have often featured events that have gone down in the annals of NFL history. Whether it's Bart Starr's sneak in the Ice Bowl that helped the Packers secure the 1967 NFL Championship or Dez Bryant's disputed non-catch in the 2014 NFL Divisional Playoff, there's always excitement when the Cowboys and Packers meet in the playoffs.
