The Dallas Cowboys (6-2) face a depleted Green Bay Packers (3-6) team on Sunday. In the midst of a five-game losing streak and poor offensive play.
Not only are the Cowboys 5.5-point favorites, that's actually a three point increase since after Sunday. Where the Packers lost to the Detroit Lions. The line may change again with the uncertainty around RB Aaron Jones, with his share alongside RB AJ Dillion.
Good news is the Cowboys will be getting some help back on defense with the return of both safety Malik Hooker and edge rusher Sam Williams. On top of that, RB Ezekiel Elliott is set to return as well.
Confirmed by head coach Mike McCarthy, on his first return to Green Bay since his departure.
All three players are key cogs in the wheel for this Dallas Cowboys team.
With Hooker being the starting single-high safety and having one of the best seasons of his career at the halfway point. As well as rookie Sam Williams who is factoring into a fantastic pass rush rotation with two sacks, four tackles for loss and four QB pressures, on only 101 defensive snaps played.
While Zeke isn't the full-time feature back, him and Tony Pollard have become one of the best RB tandems in the league. With 475 combined yards and four touchdowns, with his highest yards per game average since 2020.
The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for a postseason run. Players are playing at their best and reinforcements are on the way.
With the bye week, the Cowboys are an extra week healthier in time for the Packers. The return of Hooker, Williams and Elliott won't be undermined.
