Well, we're here. It's playoff time for the Dallas Cowboys as they'll take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in what will be a white-out game.

NFL teams prepare intensely for each and every game they play and they crank it up when it's time for the playoffs. So why shouldn't we?

That's why I went behind enemy lines and talked to Wendell Ferreira, who covers the Packers at A to Z Sports, and asked him five big questions about the match-up.

Although the Cowboys are 7.5-point favorites ahead of the game, the Packers will be no walk in the park. My conversation with Ferreira offers some insight as to why. You can also check out our inverse conversation regarding the Cowboys here. 

1. When looking at the Packers offense, it seems like they've got a legit QB, legit WR core, legit OL and a legit RB group, is the offense really that good or is it deceiving?

Yes, for the most part the offense has been really good. And that's why they were sixth in DVOA by the end of the season. Jordan Love was actually an upgrade at QB compared to 2022 Aaron Rodgers, and young players like Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft have stepped up. If Christian Watson can play, which is still uncertain, their ceiling is also much higher. 

The running game struggled earlier this season, but with Aaron Jones back and fully healthy, it has been good over the last month as well. But you'll eventually see natural mistakes for a young team, like a clock mismanagement in the final drive of the first half against the Chicago Bears. Those can't happen against an elite opponent.

2. Jordan Love looks like the future in Green Bay, has he struggled with anything in particular this season?

Historically, Love had some decision-making issues, but those are corrected for the most part. He's had just one interception over the last eight games. He's the type of quarterback who will eventually make a bad mistake, like the fumble against the Bears, but he's played cleaner football than anyone could have anticipated.

3. Cowboys love to move Micah Parsons around, what’s the most vulnerable position in Green Bay’s OL?

It's the center/right guard combo. Left tackle Rasheed Walker has played pretty well down the stretch, left guard Elgton Jenkins is a star, and right tackle Zach Tom will be one. 

This is another Micah Parsons A-gap game.

But center Josh Myers is a liability, as he makes some bad mistakes from time to time. At right guard, the Packers have taken an unusual approach, rotating Jon Runyan and Sean Rhyan. This might seem risky, but it's worked fine. Runyan is a better pass protector, while Rhyan is a better run blocker. If the Cowboys are willing to move Parsons inside, they can take advantage of that insecurity.

4. Joe Barry's defense has been one of the worst units in the league, is it talent or scheme?

It's impossible to say for sure it's just scheme because this version of the defense has never played under another coordinator. But knowing what these guys can produce on the field and Barry's track record as a defensive coordinator, it's pretty clear that it's scheme. Barry was the Detroit Lions DC in 2008, when they went 0-16, if you don't remember. 

Sometimes, and I don't know if this is Barry or Matt LaFleur stepping up, the coaching staff will put together strong gameplans, like they did against the Vikings and Bears to finish up the season. And they tend to play better against good quarterbacks, which is particularly strange. But that's what the Packers have had to handle since 2021.

5. Who’s the player the average Cowboys fan doesn’t know but should before Sunday’s game?

A good name to keep an eye on is rookie wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks. He's by far the best Packers weapon at creating separation, and he's coming from a two-touchdown game in week 18. 

Wicks is a fifth-round pick, so the Packers didn't demand much from him earlier, but he's certainly exceeded expectations. He has a track record as a high school quarterback, and he sees the game from that perspective, making everything easier for Jordan Love.
