Expert predictions: Almost everyone picking Packers to rebound vs. Cowboys in Week 4

The Green Bay Packers are coming off a stunning loss in Cleveland and are going back on the road for a primetime showdown at AT&T Stadium, but NFL experts widely believe Matt LaFleur’s team is going to bounce back in a big way against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

In fact, it was tough to find an “expert” who believes the Packers are going to lose. Of the 45 experts reviewed this week, all but one — Seth Wickersham of ESPN — picked the Packers to win straight up.

The same could have been said last week — the Packers winning in Cleveland was the consensus opinion. But the margins are razor thin at the NFL level, and even a really good team can lose to one of the league’s worst teams if the good team doesn’t play well and doesn’t finish. Can the Packers rebound in Dallas and finish the deal on “Sunday Night Football” this week?

Every week at Packers Wire, we’ll track expert picks from across several media platforms. The picks for Packers-Cowboys in Week 4:

NFL.com

All five at NFL.com took the Packers to win, although all five envision a one-score game.

Ali Bhanpuri: Packers, 26-18
Brooke Cersosimo: Packers, 26-24
Dan Parr: Packers, 28-20
Gennaro Filice: Packers, 27-22
Tom Blair: Packers, 27-19

From Dan Parr: “I don’t think the Cowboys could have imagined their defense would be this bad when they traded Micah Parsons to Green Bay four weeks ago. Dallas ranks dead last in passing yards allowed, pass yards allowed per attempt and third-down conversion rate. It’s flailed to 27th in scoring defense and 30th in total yards allowed. In other words, Dallas is the new ideal opponent for a team looking to rebound, like Green Bay. The Cowboys made Russell Wilson — who was benched this week — look like an All-Pro in Week 2 and then helped the Bears bounce back from a drubbing with a blowout victory in Week 3. If the Packers’ offense can’t relocate its mojo against a team allowing 18.6 yards per pass attempt on throws of 10-plus air yards — second-most through three weeks in the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016) — then the bandwagon should start to veer off the road. Winning without Micah is hard enough. Now Dak Prescott and Co. must make the attempt with prized offensive weapon CeeDee Lamb and 2025 first-round pick Tyler Booker sidelined.”

From Prisco: “The Packers are playing out on the road for the second straight week after losing a tough one at Cleveland. The offense was lifeless in that game. But the Cowboys can’t stop anybody. Look for Jordan Love to play big here as the Packers win it with some offensive production and Micah Parsons gets his revenge on his old team.”
