Well, I know that I don't two chances. However, it is my wife's birthday that day and since we don't get the game here on Time Warner her perdiction is 31 GB and 28 Cowboys.
The one that counts (if I can't sneak in 2) is 29 Cowboys and 14 GB.

Packers | Team struggles in Texas Stadium
Sun, 25 Nov 2007 18:25:12 -0800
Rob Phillips, of DallasCowboys.com, reports the Green Bay Packers have lost eight consecutive games and 11 of their last 12 at Texas Stadium, with their last win coming Dec. 24, 1989. Packers QB Brett Favre is 0-8 in his career at Texas Stadium. Favre said, "I was hoping it would be gone by time I got back there. Every time we've played them (there), they had a damn good team."

Interesting. Just remember the law of averages....every time they lose, thier odds of winning increase. How's that for a jinx Dallas fans!

FYI... (for informational purposes only - as I picked the Pack to win)
Current odds have Cowboys by 6 1/2 with the over/under at 51 1/2.
So that means Cowboys 29 - Packers 22 1/2, but I don't agree.

Actually .." Just remember the law of averages....every time they lose, thier odds of winning increase. " Just as each toss of a coin has a 50/50 probability what happened in the past has NO influence on the probability of a new random event. The only time it has an impact is if you are predicting a series of FUTURE events like what are the odds that you can toss a coin ten times and get 10 heads in a row...But when you already have flipped 9 heads and ask about the probabilty for the tenth it is always 50/50 ; the coin has two sides 
and it does not know what happened in the past. The odds of a series of 10 heads in a row of future events is about one in 1000.

Thanks Jim for the explanation of how odds work.
Now , after the Cowboys beat Green Bay this Thursday, what are the odds that it will be Dallas with a rematch with New England in the Super Bowl?

a coin toss is truely a statistically random event, and therefore each toss has that 50/50 probability. A football game is not, however, and presumably the losing team learns a little something after each loss that improves their chances of winning the next time out, even if by some small factor - assumming we human beings are capable of learning, which all things considered is a questionable proposition these days!
