Playbook

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys will visit Jordan Love and the Packers for Week 6 of Sunday Night Football.

The Cowboys are fresh off an unexpected loss to the Buccaneers, but a win this evening would put them firmly back in playoff contention in the NFC. Green Bay got off to a slow start, but enter on a 2-game winning streak, including a decisive 31-7 win over Chicago last Sunday.

Kickoff from Lambeau Field is set for 8:20 pm ET on NBC.

The NFL odds for this matchup have the Packers favored by 1.5 points ahead of kickoff after opening as 3.5-point favorites in the preseason. Teams that have lost 2 or more points of market movement on the spread in 2026 are 12-12-1 ATS and 10-15 SU. Home teams fitting that criteria are only 5-8 ATS and 5-8 SU.

The total is set at over/under 53.5 points – the highest of any Week 6 game in the NFL.

Best NFL Player Props for Cowboys vs. Packers

Here are my top player prop bets, with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 PM ET on Sunday, October 18th:

CeeDee Lamb OVER 6.5 Receptions (+113, DraftKings)

Lamb was held to only 2 receptions against the Buccaneers in Week 5, but he was playing through a quad bruise, which kept him off of the field in the 4th quarter.

Lamb told the media that he got a lot of time to rest and rehab following that game, with Dallas having a few extra days between games after playing last Thursday. If he’s good to go and playing at full strength this evening, this is tremendous value to bet on one of the league’s most talented receivers.

MarShawn Lloyd UNDER 44.5 Rushing Yards (-115, BetMGM)

Lloyd has been one of the league’s most inefficient running backs in 2026.

Lloyd ranks 29th in rushing yards over expectation, 37th in DVOA, and 38th in explosive run rate among 41 qualified running backs through 5 weeks. His longest run of the entire season went for 12 yards. Only twice in 5 games has he managed a run of 10+ yards.

Dallas allowed a 72-yard run to Bucky Irving last Thursday, but they otherwise did a good job keeping him mostly bottled up on the ground. This is a high number for Lloyd to clear, especially if he continues to split backfield duties with Kaleb Johnson.

Javonte Williams UNDER 16.5 Rush Attempts (+100, DraftKings)

Williams hasn’t received more than 19 carries in a game this season. He would likely need a perfect game script to clear this number, which is far from a guarantee in a road matchup against a quality Green Bay team.

Williams received 12 of the 13 Dallas rush attempts in Week 5 against Tampa Bay, but he would likely have shared more of the workload if Dallas wasn’t in a negative game script all night.
