Why the Packers can cover
Green Bay had its ups and downs during Jordan Love's first season as the starting quarterback, but he ultimately found his rhythm down the stretch and has played his best football when the Packers have needed it most. Over his final eight games, Love completed 70.3% of his passes for 2,150 yards and 18 touchdowns while only throwing one interception.
Dallas' pass defense struggled down the stretch against prolific pass offenses, giving up at least 284 passing yards to the Seahawks, Lions and Dolphins from Thanksgiving on. With Love showing more confidence than ever, expect head coach and play-caller Matt LaFleur to put the game in his talented young quarterback's hands on Sunday. See which team to pick here.
