Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers NFL Preview: Team news, betting, tickets, live stream, Fantasy Football and more

Both the Packers and the Cowboys are limping into Sunday Night Football after tough Week 3 defeats, and neither team will want a repeat performance.

For Green Bay, the loss stung hard, a road defeat to the Browns as heavy favorites is the kind of game that makes fans question everything. Dallas' disappointment was different but no less bitter. The Cowboys weren't just beaten by the Bears in Chicago, they were blanked in the second half, falling 31-14 and exposing cracks in a team that prides itself on dominance.

Now, the narratives shift. Dallas heads back home, where its lone win of the season keeps hope alive, while Green Bay is still searching for that elusive first road victory after the Cleveland setback. Oddsmakers are leaning heavily toward the Packers, but momentum is a tricky beast in primetime.

The big question: which team will finally right the ship and grab a statement win under the lights? Both need it, but only one can walk away with confidence restored.

Dallas Cowboys vs Green Bay Packers kick-off time

The Cowboys and Packers will meet in Week 4 of the NFL season at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sunday, September 28, starting at 8:20 pm ET.

Team news & squads

Dallas Cowboys team news

Dak's performance in Chicago was rough: two interceptions, two sacks, and a stat line of 251 yards and a single touchdown in a 31-14 loss. Through three games, he's compiled 800 passing yards with three TDs and three picks—a middling start that hasn’t inspired confidence.

Dallas' secondary looked shaky trying to contain Caleb Williams, and the challenge only ramps up with Jordan Love and the Packers heading to town. Jerry Jones has voiced faith in defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, but after the misfires we've seen this season, it's tough to get on board.

Offensively, the Cowboys aren't in a much better spot. Losing backups Tyler Booker and Cooper Beebe leaves Dak Prescott relying on makeshift protection against Micah Parsons and the Green Bay pass rush. To make matters worse, star receiver CeeDee Lamb is sidelined, meaning Prescott will lean heavily on dump-offs to Jake Ferguson again.

With Lamb out, George Pickens had to step up — and he delivered, hauling in a one-handed touchdown to give Dallas a spark. KaVontae Turpin made the most of limited opportunities, including a 27-yard reception. Javonte Williams flashed too, ripping off a 22-yard gain before a costly fumble.

Green Bay Packers team news

The Green Bay Packers' injury concerns are front and center heading into Sunday night’s showdown at Dallas, with their offensive line taking the brunt of the spotlight. Of the starters, Zach Tom (right tackle) is out with an oblique injury, while Aaron Banks (left guard) missed practice nursing a groin issue, and Rasheed Walker (left tackle) was limited with a quad problem. Rookie Anthony Belton is also limited at right tackle with an ankle injury and could see starting reps.

Safety Javon Bullard remains in concussion protocol but participated in drills, and eight more players were limited, including defensive tackles Devonte Wyatt (knee) and Karl Brooks (foot), plus defensive end Micah Parsons, who worked through a minor back issue as he looks to make big impact on his homecoming to Dallas. Tight end Tucker Kraft was limited with knee and elbow concerns.

Jordan Love isn't fooling anyone: he's not an elite quarterback, and his shaky outing against the Browns made that crystal clear. The guy can't handle pressure, and let’s be honest, he rode some luck early in the season when mistakes went unpunished. Against a disciplined defense, those cracks show up fast.

On the bright side for Green Bay, the defense remains top-tier, with or without Parsons. Sure, they couldn't completely shut down Joe Flacco, but allowing just 44 points through three games keeps them at the very top of the league. Rashan Gary has been a terror off the edge with 4.5 sacks, leading the NFL, and he's the kind of force that can make Dak Prescott's day miserable in primetime.

Cowboys vs Packers Fantasy Football

Dak Prescott (16 projected W4 fpts) is under a microscope like few quarterbacks in the league—especially with that $240 million price tag hanging over his head. His season so far has been a mixed bag. The lone bright spot came at home against the Giants, where Prescott threw for 361 yards and two touchdowns on 38 completions from 52 attempts in a 40-37 thriller. Outside of that, consistency has been elusive. Last week in Chicago, he hit a season-high 77.5% of his passes (31-for-40), but only managed one touchdown against two costly interceptions.

The Packers' defense isn't exactly an easy out. They've kept quarterbacks like Jared Goff, Jayden Daniels, and Joe Flacco in check, allowing just 504 passing yards through three weeks—an average of 168 yards per game, ranking seventh in the NFL. And now the Cowboys will have to navigate this without CeeDee Lamb, sidelined with a high-ankle sprain, which makes Prescott’s job even tougher. Bottom line: if Dak can’t find a rhythm, Dallas is in for a long night—and possibly a long season.

Javonte Williams (10.8 projected W4 fpts) has been a spark in the backfield, turning 15 touches into 92 yards last Sunday. He ran 10 times for 76 yards and caught all five of his targets for 16 yards. His fantasy upside this week is more in the passing game, where he could operate as a solid RB2.

George Pickens (9.6 projected W4 fpts) has been steady, mirroring his Week 2 numbers with five catches on nine targets for 68 yards and a touchdown. Reliability like that is gold in a shaky offense.

Meanwhile, Jordan Love (19.1 projected W4 fpts) ran into a wall against Cleveland last week, finishing as QB26 with just 11.1 points—a rough outing for fantasy purposes. Josh Jacobs (14.3 projected W4 fpts)  also ran into trouble on the ground, gaining just 30 yards on 16 carries (1.9 YPC), but he salvaged some value through the air, catching five passes for 44 yards. In a game environment that should see high volume for Jacobs, expect him to remain a workhorse RB1 despite the subpar rushing efficiency.

The Packers have had to shuffle their receiving corps in the wake of Jayden Reed's injury, leaning on Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden as their primary targets, with Dontayvion Wicks stepping into the role Reed vacated. It’s a fluid situation, but one that will test the chemistry and depth of Green Bay’s passing attack.

Cowboys vs Packers Game Predictions

This might ruffle some feathers, but hear me out: the Cowboys could actually pose some problems for Green Bay on Sunday Night Football.

The Packers have a nasty habit of struggling away from Lambeau. That flaw showed up again last week in Cleveland, and it's a trend that's lingered—Green Bay dropped three of their final four road games last season, including the playoffs, and only two of their five wins came by more than a single score. Road woes are real, and they're not going away overnight.

Sure, it's tempting to side with the Packers given Dallas' struggles and CeeDee Lamb's absence. But let's not forget the Cowboys gave Philadelphia a fight in Week 1. If Dak Prescott protects the football, this team has enough firepower and grit to hang in primetime at home.

On the flip side, the Packers boast a sturdier defense and a healthier offensive roster than Dallas. Jordan Love could exploit a secondary that’s looked shaky lately, but overall, Wisconsin has the tools to control the game if they execute.

So, while the smart-money narrative might favor Green Bay, I won't be shocked if the Cowboys keep it tight. Primetime in Dallas can be a tough environment, even for a top-tier franchise on paper.
