The Dallas Cowboys have cemented their place in the playoffs and bagged the No. 2 seed in the NFC with their stellar win over the Washington Commanders in week 18. The team had a phenomenal season with 12 wins and five losses. As a result, the Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers at their home on the weekend Wild Card game.

The Packers, on the other hand, have made it to the playoffs without their 18-year-long signal caller Aaron Rodgers. Ahead of the season, Rodgers jumped onto the boats of the New York Jets, creating room for Jordan Love, a quarterback who waited for three seasons to get a regular start.

Stepping into the shoes of Rodgers, Love impressed everyone by carrying the team on his shoulder. He earned respect after achieving a spot in the playoffs from a crowded AFC Division. Fans are even envisioning him as better than Aaron Rodgers.

However, the Packers would face the mighty Cowboys as an underdog. There are multiple reasons behind that, but the most important one seems to be the home advantage that the Cowboys are going to have.

The Dallas based team has been invincible on their home turf. With a stunning 8-0 home record and 15-0 if counted the previous season, the AT&T Stadium has become the team’s safest bastion. In addition, the team has a bulldozing offense that can crush any opponent on their day.

Considering all these, Richard Sherman said that the Packers would fall short of beating the Cowboys. In the recent episode of Undisputed, the former player and the present-day analyst said, 

It is gonna be a tough game, I think... I do not see them beating Dallas. I think he (Jordan Love) will play well. But defensively I do not think they have enough to stop Dak and CeeDee. But it will be a fun game to watch.

Sherman has praise for Packers QB Jordan Love

Despite considering the future of the Packers as low in the playoffs, Sherman did not hide his appreciation for Love, who was great throughout the season. The analyst pointed out that Love is the second-most touchdown-passer in the league.

This is the first season Jordan Love has started. A complete season after Aaron Rodgers left. Big shoes to fill and he played great. Second in the league in touchdown passes. He has been efficient.

The game between the two could be competitive as the Packers have a giant-killing tendency. On the other hand, the Cowboys have ample instances of choking at the right moment. These things can make the game highly intensified.
