SBG Global Opening Line: Cowboys - 3 , Total 51

The Sunday night game on NBC between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers is a rematch of last year’s game at Dallas when both teams were 10-1. The Cowboys won that game 37-27 and ended up with home field advantage in the playoffs although it didn’t do them any good as they lost to the New York Giants. This year’s game could be just as important in the long run as both teams come into the game unbeaten. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Cowboys on the Road.

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been excellent so far this season taking over for Brett Favre. He has completed 70 percent of his passes and has not thrown an interception. “He’s making good decisions and he’s being accurate with the football,” Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. “He hasn’t taken many chances, and that’s all part of good quarterback play. He needs to continue to do that.” Dallas is running on all cylinders as well. They outscored the Eagles last week as Dallas quarterback Tony Romo played well again. He has thrown for 632 yards and four touchdowns in two games.

The Cowboys have never won at Lambeau Field. Dallas has three wins in Milwaukee but at Lambeau they are 0-5 including 41-20 in 2004, the last time the two teams met in Green Bay. The Packers have won 10 of their last 11 home games and Dallas has won 11 of their last 12 road games. Here are more NFL betting stats for Sunday’s game.
