Randall Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 It's going to be cold. Latest estimates are 8-13 degrees but the cold wave we're in now may not lessen by sunday. Wind chill was -43 here yesterday but I'm 150 miles north of Lambeau, so probably only -30 there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 NFW... I'd like to see the Packers win this, but I believe the Cowboys will end up in the NFCC. The Pack is having some real issues on defense & Murray will just be too much for them IMO. It's certainly going to be a very entertaining game regardless. Looking forward to this game more than I have for a playoff game in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 i also think Dallas wins and cold / wind will not effect them as much as it would in past as Cowboys have a very strong running game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorcher Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Through out the year Green Bay's defense has been very strong at home. I think that will give them the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 What makes this such a great matchup is that these teams basically mirror each other. Strong passing games, strong running games and defenses that can be had if the offenses aren't able to control the clock. It will come down to TOs, field position and who can run the ball better. Hell, this could turn into a shootout and the winner will be the team with the ball last. Sorta like the Dallas/Detroit game...oh wait that didn't happen that way.

bud29 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Fixed... Their defense has allowed 22.63 points per game on the road this year, while they have allowed 21.22 ppg at home. Green Bay has allowed 26.13 ppg on the road, but only 20.38 ppg at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def. Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 "Statistics are no substitute for judgment" - Henry Clay "There are lies, damned lies and statistics" - Mark Twain I thought Texan's fans have an intense rivalry/dislike with the Cowboys much like White Sox fans dislike towards the Cubs in Chicago.

I guess he just switches to whichever Texas team is still in contention? Must make the NBA season easy, with 3 playoff-caliber teams to choose from.

bud29 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 It appears that HBTC is correct. The argument for Dallas's road defense comes from the heart, not the brain.
