NFL Week 10 2022: 3 teams on upset alert this Sunday

2. NFL Teams That Should Be On Upset Alert In Week 10 – Dallas Cowboys

It feels weird to consider a trip to Lambeau Field a potential trap game but this is the spot that the Cowboys find themselves in for Week 10. Having a bye week should have Dallas refreshed ahead of their matchup against the Green Bay Packers, who seem to be coming apart at the seams and are on a five-game losing streak.

The Packers hit a new low with Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions and saw Aaron Rodgers have a meltdown on the sideline during the game. Running back Aaron Jones also got hurt in the contest, suffering an ankle injury that could impact his availability for Sunday’s showdown as well.

On paper, this is a game that the Cowboys should handle easily, and the oddsmakers concur with that assessment by setting Dallas as five-point favorites in this contest. The danger comes in the form of overlooking Green Bay as Dallas has a date with 7-1 Minnesota next Sunday and a huge Thanksgiving contest against the 6-2 New York Giants right after that.

It may be tempting for the Cowboys to look past the Packers and mentally start thinking about two games that could have a huge impact on their playoff hopes. Overlooking a team with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback is a dangerous game that Dallas will have to be careful not to get burned by.
