The Dallas Cowboys will try to correct their season trajectory when they travel to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers, who contrary to speculation from months ago, won't have Micah Parsons back from injury.
The Packers, though, do bring momentum to the prime time Sunday night battle after thumping the Chicago Bears, while Dallas is coming off an embarrassing home loss to previously winless Tampa Bay and an undrafted rookie free agent quarterback.

Jeremy Cluff writes: "This game might be the most must-win game for both teams in the league this week. Dallas can't afford to fall to 2-4, while Green Bay can't afford to fall to 3-3. Jordan Love and Green Bay have a lot of momentum after destroying the Bears. We don't see that momentum stopping against Dak Prescott and the Cowboys."
Bookies.com: Bet the Packers on the moneyline vs Cowboys
Bill Speros writes: "The Cowboys left Jerry Jones pondering his life choices with their 24-16 loss to the previously winless Bucs. Dak Prescott & The 'Boys score 27.6 points per game, but Dallas' defense surrenders 27.2 points. Jordan Love and the Packers tore through the Bears at Lambeau Sunday. The Pack stacks points this week. But total of 52.5 points is straight out of the Big 12. Green Bay has lost DT Javon Hargrave and LB Edgerrin Cooper to major injuries in back-to-back weeks. But its defense makes the difference here."
