The Dallas Cowboys are 7-0 straight up and 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games at home. The Cowboys hope to take advantage of home field throughout the postseason with a win this Sunday over the Green Bay Packers.
Packers vs. Cowboys 2017 odds: Green Bay an underdog at Dallas in their playoff matchup
Boasting a strong betting trend at home, the Dallas Cowboys will try to stop the red-hot Green Bay Packers on Sunday in their NFC playoff matchup in Arlington.

Dallas is a 4.5-point home favorite in Arlington at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Over the final six games of the regular season, the Cowboys went 1-5 ATS.
After losing their first game of the season to the New York Giants by a single point, the Cowboys went 11-0 SU and 9-2 ATS over their next 11 games, leaving little room for drama in the race for the top seed in the NFC.
Fueled by the rookie tandem of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas finished the regular season ranked fifth in total offense with 376.7 yards per game, and fifth in scoring with 26.3 points per game. Now, the NFC’s best regular season team will need to prove it can get the job done in the postseason.
Since 1997, Dallas is just 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS in 10 postseason games per the OddsShark NFL Database. The Cowboys are 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS in their last four Divisional Round games.
Betting Line / Total: Dallas -4.5 / 52.5 Points
Trend: The Cowboys are 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games at home.
Trend: The Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games in the playoffs as road underdogs.
When one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL gets on a hot streak, it usually spells bad news for the opposition. Aaron Rodgers has been nothing short of brilliant across Green Bay’s current 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS run. The offense has averaged 35 points over the team’s last five games, and Rodgers has thrown for 22 touchdowns and no interceptions over the team’s last eight games.
Green Bay has won five of its last six games against the Cowboys overall, but is just 1-9 SU in its last 10 road games against Dallas.
Sunday’s total is set at 52.5 points. The OVER is 5-1 in Green Bay’s last six games on the road.
Green Bay may be the hottest team in the NFC, but Dallas only started to slow down after the conference’s top seed was clearly in hand. Both of these teams have the look of a legitimate contender, and the one that emerges victorious will be extremely dangerous the rest of the way.
