"The argument is that the greater purpose on Monday night was helping the Cowboys' draft capital by way of their 2026 first-round pick from the Packers. The Cowboys want the Packers to be as bad as possible to ensure that their compensation from the Micah Parsons trade is as good as possible. This is simple. Currently the Packers (therefore Cowboys) hold the 21st pick in the 2026 NFL Draft."
"They are 5-3-1 and have the following games remaining: at New York Giants (New York's first game without Brian Daboll) Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions (Thanksgiving Day before the Cowboys game) Chicago Bears at Denver Broncos at Chicago Bears Baltimore Ravens at Minnesota Vikings. Honestly, this is great news for the Cowboys. Outside of the Giants game you can make an argument for Green Bay losing each and every single other one (obviously they won't lose out, but you get the point)."
Monday night's Eagles win over the Packers benefited Cowboys fans because the result helps Dallas' draft capital tied to the Micah Parsons trade. The Cowboys hold Green Bay's 2026 first-round pick, currently projected at 21st overall, while the Packers sit at 5-3-1. Remaining opponents include the Giants, Vikings, Lions, Bears (twice), Broncos, Ravens and another Vikings matchup, with notable tests on Thanksgiving and Denver. Outside the Giants game, many matchups present plausible losses for Green Bay, increasing the chance the Packers slide and thereby improving Dallas' compensation from the trade.
