Packers rule out Jordy Nelson for Divisional Round clash against Cowboys

Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy is 5-3 against the Dallas Cowboys where Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is 1-4 against the Packers.

When deciding which side to bet, it would be unwise to consider past playoff experience and not the current temperature of the team.

Could this game mark the fifth time that happens? Here are Sporting News’ predictions and picks for the game. Per ESPN Stats and Information, Rodgers has 21 touchdowns and just one interception with Cook on the field this season. “We always preach the importance of ball security and the turnover margin, so it definitely could’ve been a different game“.

The play that really set the Giants back was Aaron Rodgers hitting Randall Cobb for a Hail Mary on the last play of the second quarter.

His help will be sorely needed against Rodgers, who has not thrown an interception since November 13.

“It gives us one less receiver but obviously an extremely productive player”, McCarthy said. But Beckham, despite his 101 catches for 1367 yards, was a magnet for negative attention, including a controversial trip to Miami to hang out with celebrity friends less than a week before his first career playoff game, a game in which he was a non-factor versus the Packers. This season, though, he’s served as the catalyst for the Packers pass rush, collecting 11 quarterback takedowns on the season. Expect more of the same Sunday. The Cowboys will need one or two big plays.

Green Bay: The Packers’ defense has had a tough year. Now he’s back and likely looking for revenge after the infamous “no-catch” call when these two teams last met in the playoffs.

Green Bay Passing Prediction: 365 yards. Eli Manning and the Giants weren’t able to attack the Packers’ injured secondary the way they needed to, but Prescott and Dez Bryant might have more luck, if just because they’re working with a better running game and behind a much better offensive line.

Now he begins the chase to check more boxes: become the first rookie in team history to win a playoff game and become the first rookie quarterback to get a team to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys never experienced the down spell that Green Bay went through, starting the season strong and never slowing down.

The Dallas Cowboys have been probably the biggest story in all of the National Football League.

It doesn’t seem like either defense has much of a chance stopping the other team on offense.

Even though Nelson is Green Bay’s top receiver, the offense clicked on all cylinders without him against the Giants.

In the last 8 games, the Packers QB has tossed 22 touchdowns and no interceptions. If Rodgers keeps rolling, so will the Packers.
