NFL Week 6 expert picks for Packers vs. Cowboys: Who wins primetime game?

Can the Green Bay Packers win a third straight game when the Dallas Cowboys come to Lambeau Field for a primetime showdown in Week 6? The majority of NFL experts see the Packers, who are fresh off a big win over the rival Chicago Bears , beating the Cowboys in a shootout on "Sunday Night Football."

Of the 54 experts reviewed this week, roughly 70 percent picked the Packers to win straight up. Many of those predicting a final score envisioned a game with a lot of points, which isn't surprising given the quality of the two offenses, especially at quarterback and wide receiver, and the 40-40 tie that took place between the two teams last year. Another primetime shootout between Dak Prescott and Jordan Love could be possible, maybe even likely.

A review of the Week 6 expert picks of Packers vs. Cowboys:

Of the six experts at USA Today , two picked the Packers to win.

Nick Middlehurst-Schwartz: Packers, 31-27

Of the 11 experts at ESPN , seven picked the Packers to win.

Of the five experts at NFL.com , four picked the Packers.

From Parr: "It's going to be very difficult for the Cowboys to win with their current defense, and they are running into a team that knows how to exploit their weakness on Sunday night. Dallas is the only NFL team to allow 375 or more yards in each of the first five games. The Cowboys have given up 20+ points in 12 consecutive contests dating back to last season, the league's longest active streak. At least they're consistent. Unfortunately for first-year defensive coordinator Christian Parker (and new hire Mike Pettine), the Packers' offense just awoke from its slumber, with Jordan Love dropping deep throws on the Bears repeatedly last week (367 pass yards, two touchdowns). Now WRs Christian Watson and Matthew Golden -- the only teammate duo to each have 375+ receiving yards -- get to line up across from a secondary that has looked overmatched all season. I'm expecting a better showing from the Dak Prescott-led offense than the dud it produced against the Buccaneers last time out, and having a rest advantage (nine days between games versus six for the Packers) undoubtedly helps, but I have no confidence his defense will support him. Give me the home team in a shootout."

Of the eight experts at MMQB , seven picked the Packers.

Of the eight experts at The Athletic , seven picked the Packers.

Of the seven experts at CBS Sports , five picked the Packers.

From Prisco: "The Packers blew out the Bears Sunday as Jordan Love lit up the skies. Look for more of that in this one against a bad Dallas secondary. The Cowboys struggled on defense against the Bucs, and that will continue in this one. Love continues to play well. Packers win a shootout. Packers 31, Cowboys 27."

Of the nine experts at SB Nation , six picked the Packers.
