THE DALLAS COWBOYS seeks its second win in the current National Football League season when they visit the Green Bay Packers on November 7.
The Dallas is badly needing a victory to improve its 1-6 win-loss record against the former NFL champion, who enjoys a home-court advantage in their game.
The odds in this game are not on the side of the Cowboys due to their lower record compared to the 5-3 standing of the home-team Packers.
The 2010 NFL season had been a constant struggle for the Cowboys as they pile up consecutive losses despite being tagged as one of the early favorites to win the Super Bowl crown this year.
Lead by superstar quarterback Tony Romo the Cowboys has failed in its bid to live up to its potential this year.
Last Sunday, the Cowboys was beaten by the Jacksonville Jaguars right in-front of its fans 35-17.
In the game against the Packers, the Cowboys face a new challenge as the team will be missing the services of Romo, who is suffering from a left collarbone injury.
Taking charge for the Cowboys in their game against the Packers is back-up quarterback Jon Kitna, who despite their loss still was able to play relatively well against the Jaguars in his first start since 2008, going 34 of 49 for 379 yards with a touchdown.
He threw three interceptions, but all three balls bounced off the hands of receivers.
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips hope Kitna can have a great game to bring back the winning attitude for the team and jump-start the team in the current NFL season.
The Packers for its part is flying high these days due to their three-game winning streak.
Playing in their own-arena, the Packers is favored to get its sixth victory in the game although the Cowboys could still pull a surprise against the home-team.
If Packers superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers can sustain his nice plays for the team it would be an early night for the Cowboys.
The Packers has almost all the odds to win on their side but the visiting Cowboys can always pull the thunder in their game if Kitna and his teammates will have an A-game on Sunday evening.
