The Cowboys are a huge 9.5-point favorite in this week's contest, indicating an extreme rushing game script.The Cowboys rank as the 6th-least pass-oriented team in the league (context-neutralized) this year with a 56.1% pass rate.The Dallas Cowboys have run the 6th-least plays in the league this year, totaling a mere 55.5 plays per game.Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 28.0 pass attempts per game vs. the Green Bay Packers defense this year: least in football.The Green Bay Packers have stacked the box against opponents on just 8.8% of their plays since the start of last season, 2nd-least in the league. Choosing not to keep an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
