On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys will have a great opportunity to prove they are built for big things this NFL season when they pay a visit to the Green Bay Packers.
After enjoying their bye week, the Dallas team has to visit Lambeau Field, where they have won just one of their last five games. In fact, Aaron Rodgers has five wins in the last six games against them.
However, this Rodgers and these Packers are nothing like they have been in recent years and Dallas is in great shape after winning their last two meetings in emphatic fashion and taking one of the NFC wild cards with a 6-2 record.
Cooper Rush didn’t do a bad job as QB, but the return of Prescott has certainly turned around a Cowboys’ offense that is coming off of scoring 49 points on the Bears.
The good thing about all this is that Dallas doesn’t need to score that many points every Sunday in order to win games: a decent amount of points is more than enough for a defense that is among the best in the circuit.
Despite the 29 points scored by the Bears, Dallas has the third-lowest points allowed average this year, no one has more catches than the 33 they have scored, and their secondary has the third-lowest net yards per pass allowed, with an average of 4.9.
Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10 of the 2022 NFL season
Moneyline (-227 from BetMGM)
The Cowboys haven’t had nice experiences in Green Bay, but their current season performance is out of this world.
The Packers’ offense is not up to the task of being able to halt a defense that only two times this season has allowed more than 20 points to its rivals. Only a poor performance by Prescott and company could deprive the Cowboys of their seventh victory of the season.
Spread (-4.5 from BetMGM)
The Cowboys’ losing streak against the Packers is highlighted by their 1-4 record against the spread in the last five series games.
However, this season Dallas has a 6-3 record against the spread at Las Vegas sportsbooks, and its last four wins in the season have happened by 12 points or more.
Over/Under (44 from BetMGM)
The Packers’ offensive problems, combined with the good performance of both defenses, predict a fairly close and low-scoring game despite the relatively low point line.
Furthermore, the under has happened on five occasions in the last six meetings between the two in Green Bay.

Dallas Cowboys Future Odds after Week 10
Over/Under wins in the season: Over 11.5 (-169 from BetMGM) / Under 11.5 (+140 from BetMGM)
Following Dak Prescott’s return and two wins before the bye week, expectations in Las Vegas regarding the Cowboys have been consolidated, as evidenced by the number of games they are expected to win once the regular season is over.
With the schedule they have ahead of them, it doesn’t appear that Dallas will be able to win more than 11 games. This week, they’ll visit the Packers before traveling to Minnesota, while in week 15 they’ll visit Jacksonville before concluding the season at Titans and Commanders Stadium. Apart from this last matchup and the Jaguars’, the other three look quite complex.
Regarding home games, they’ll host the Giants, Colts, and Texans in weeks 12, 13, and 14, before facing the Eagles again in week 16. Assuming they win over Indianapolis and Houston, Dallas must at least win again against New York in order to reach 11 wins.
Cowboys win NFC East ( +425 from BetMGM)
The Cowboys’ hopes of winning the division were hampered by their loss to the Eagles three weeks ago. Not only Philadelphia is a game and a half ahead of them, but they already won a game and a half of the series, so now they only have to have a better record than them.
Cowboys win NFC Conference ( +550 from BetMGM)
The NFC is very evenly matched, with many of the favored teams playing inconsistently. To some extent, that keeps Dallas from losing too much ground, even though it seems like it’ll be tough for them to win its division. At the very least, they currently hold a National Conference wild card and are on track to play in the postseason.
Cowboys win Super Bowl (+1400 from BetMGM)
As for their potential Super Bowl victory, Dallas needs Prescott to maintain the offensive level he has had since returning from his injury. Defense will play an important role, but without offense, the Cowboys won’t be able to beat either the NFC powerhouses or AFC favorites like the Bills or Chiefs.
Micah Parsons wins the DPOY (-250 from BetMGM).
Micah Parsons remains by far the favorite to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year, despite losing margin after the bye week.
The Cowboys linebacker totals 8.0 catches, 3.5 fewer than the category leader, while the 56 yards he has caused opponents to lose per sack is the fifth-highest figure in the circuit.
