Cowboys open as road favorites ahead of Week 10 trip to slumping Packers

The Dallas Cowboys are resting at home watching the NFL carry on without them. With a 6-2 record, they’ve lost a little ground on their bye week as the two teams with the best NFC records both won their games this week. Philadelphia (8-0) continued their undefeated stretch with a Thursday night win over the Houston Texans coming out of their own bye week. Minnesota (7-1) won over Washington with a last-second field goal.

Fortunately both teams Dallas is chasing for the No. 1 seed remain on their schedule, though the Cowboys would also need the Eagles to lose a separate game just to pull even. But before those matchups happen, Dallas starts the second half of their 2022 season with a road trip to Green Bay. Mike McCarthy will return home for the first time and he’ll get to face a struggling Aaron Rodgers-led Packers team which has last five in a row.
