Cowboys vs Packers October 16th, 2016 – Bovada NFL Odds and Betting Preview

Two of the NFL’s top rookies will be showcased in week 6. QB Dak Prescott and RB Ezekiel Elliott have been outstanding through five games, leading Dallas to a 4-1 SU and ATS record. After a 28-14 win over the Bengals in week 5, the Cowboys are clearly outperforming most people’s expectations. Prescott was 18-of-24 for 227 yards with a rushing and passing TD, and he is clearly making a case for Tony Romo’s job. Elliott ran 15 times for 134 yards and scored two touchdowns.

Prescott, who has seven combined TDs and 0 interceptions this season, is second in the league with an 83.9 QBR through Week 5, two spots ahead of his Green Bay counterpart, two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers (79.4 QBR).

The Packers are 3-1 after a 23-16 home win over the Giants. QB Aaron Rodgers was up and down in that game – 23-of-45 for 259 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Rodgers has not been an elite QB so far this season, currently at a 56.1 completion percentage so far this season. He hasn’t finished a season with a completion percentage below 60.7 in any of the last nine years.

Green Bay’s defense has excelled against the run, but is weaker against the pass. Cornerback Sam Shields hasn’t practiced since Week 1 because of a concussion.

The Packers are 7-3 SU (five wins in a row) and 6-4 ATS in their last 10 meetings with the Cowboys. The Cowboys are 3-7 SU (four straight losses) and 3-6 ATS in their last 10 in Green Bay.
