00:00Dallas Cowboys at home hosting the Green Bay Packers.

00:04It is a six and a half point spread in favor of the road Packers.

00:07We have a 46 and a half over under,

00:09and it is the return of Micah Parsons to Dallas.

00:13The summer saga came to conclusion after the final preseason game,

00:18just about a week before week one kicked off.

00:21He was traded from the Cowboys to the Packers.

00:25Odds changed.

00:26We know what went down.

00:28The Packers giving up a couple of picks along with Kenny Clark.

00:32Jerry Jones and the Cowboys insistent that they made the right move.

00:36Joe, so much changed.

00:38And this is all to note that the Packers are coming off a brutal loss to the Browns last week.

00:44Initial thoughts for this.

00:45Well, you talk about it was a couple of years ago where Dallas was a six and a half point home favorite

00:51over Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers in a playoff game.

00:54He got kicked in the teeth by Matt LaFleur and the Pack, right?

00:59Now, Micah Parsons was not on that team.

01:01He led them to a 2-0 overall record to start the year.

01:04Everybody bought in.

01:05It's Super Bowl or a bus for Matt LaFleur.

01:08The saving grace, Micah Parsons, is on Lambeau Field.

01:13I'll just say this.

01:13Good for Jerry Jones.

01:15He made the right decision.

01:17I buy into what Jerry said.

01:18He gave him an offer that he couldn't refuse.

01:21He turned it down.

01:22He reached out to the all-time greats like Mike Irvin and said,

01:25Mike, it's about the team.

01:26Micah didn't want to buy in.

01:28So they shipped him to Green Bay.

01:30And this is one of my better picks to the day.

01:32Jerry doesn't forget.

01:33He might not say it.

01:35Bags of cash in the Dallas locker room today.

01:38For anybody that steps up offensively, defensively,

01:42I think the Dallas Cowboys win this game outright.

01:44Ooh, spicy take here that Cowboys will exact some type of revenge on Sunday night football.

01:51But that's not the only news surrounding Dallas that last week they lost CeeDee Lamb due to a high ankle sprain.

01:58They lined him up in the backfield the Cowboys did against the Bears.

02:03And listen, when it's all said and done, you know, losing CeeDee Lamb for three to four weeks is terrible for their offense.

02:08It hurts their overall playmaking potential.

02:10But the fact that they got shut out in the second half at Chicago against that type of defense is unacceptable.

02:18Now, the running back room coming into the season was pretty average to begin with.

02:23Javante Williams is off to a good start this season.

02:25Miles Sanders, we know that they traded for George Pickens.

02:28But they're going to need players to step up and fill the offensive void that CeeDee Lamb leaves on offense.

02:34So it comes down to Pickens, Jake Ferguson, Turpin, Tolbert, and then the running back room.

02:40There's a lot going on with Dallas this week.

02:42And I think they can get the football to those secondary wide receivers.

02:46They're still averaging 268 passing yards per game, rushing for about 125 on the ground.

02:52You know, when you look at this matchup going up against Jordan Love, and Jordan Love has stepped up over the first three weeks.

02:58Got contained in the second half by Cleveland last week.

03:00But the first two games of the regular season, we saw the Green Bay Packers become more balanced.

03:06I thought last year they relied solely on Josh Jacobs down the stretch.

03:10Definitely in the loss against Philadelphia in the NFC divisional game, they were one-dimensional.

03:15Jordan Love was under complete arrest throughout that game.

03:19And they changed it up through the first couple weeks of the regular season.

03:22You saw Cleveland, a better defense, sort of expose them in that game, I thought.

03:26And when you look at this game right now, the concern so much for Green Bay isn't Josh Jacobs.

03:32Can they attack that secondary that Caleb Williams has attacked?

03:36That Russell Wilson has attacked.

03:38450, right?

03:39Caleb with a breakout performance.

03:41Dallas enters this game, Tom, allowing 297 passing yards per game.

03:46If they can't attack it early, Dallas is going to be within margin, and we'll see how it plays out.

03:51But I don't have a concern so much, as long as Dak is healthy, of him spreading the football around to multiple receivers.
