Sundays are a whole other story. The Dallas Cowboys have faced many trying times this season, and we wanted to see them take full advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves. In the end, they were successful in certain situations and unsuccessful in others. But if they lose this week against the Green Bay Packers, there won’t be another chance.
When playoff time arrives, the safety net disappears and there is no longer any room for error. The Cowboys will undoubtedly need to play their best football, even though they won’t have to be flawless.
The consensus seems to be that Dallas will easily defeat the Green Bay Packers, but anything can happen in the postseason tournament. A lot of sleep has been wasted by all of us because of Cowboys teams that “should” have done different things.
How does the computer predict the outcome of this matchup? They are a neutral party whose opinion we can request or demand. We conducted a simulation in Madden 24 in an attempt to see things as objectively as possible, and the Cowboys prevailed 23–3.
Please note that this simulation was run prior to Friday’s news or injury announcements.
Notable Madden statistics
Dak Prescott: 17/27, 256 passing yards, 1 touchdown
Tony Pollard: 13 carries, 39 yards, 1 touchdown
Brandin Cooks: 7 receptions, 117 yards, 1 touchdown
CeeDee Lamb: 2 receptions, 38 yards
Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence and Malik Hooker each had a sack
Dak Prescott may have only thrown one touchdown, but it was a very good one, according to the stats. Brandin Cooks was hit by Dak for a 52-yard touchdown pass, during which Cooks managed to go through traffic and break a few tackles to into the end zone.
Ideally Sunday’s result would be just like this. A dull match in which Dallas dominated the entire time, resulting in minimal tension from all of us. Dreaming is acceptable.
You can probably let go of the assumption that this exercise is a perfect representation of what will happen, even though it can be enjoyable. When it comes to Cowboys game predictions this season, Madden is below.500; maybe, this week will make up for it.
