🏈 Cowboys, Packers On Different Paths

Dallas is surging, Green Bay trying to revive its season. Sunday is a statement game. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: The tables have turned — dramatically — for Mike McCarthy in Dallas, and for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay … The Rams are struggling, but Sean McVay & Co. have a plan to turn things around … and more! This is early November, so it's not going to be Ice Bowl-cold in Green Bay on Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys come to town. It's not going to be 2014 divisional round-cold, either, when Dez Bryant's frozen fingers either caught, or didn't catch the ball, a viewpoint that depends exclusively on whether your veins run silver or cheese. It won't even be that cold at all, a positively balmy Wisconsinite 37 degrees, the experts say, come game time. It just feels cold, bitterly cold, stone-cold, empty and gloomy, for the Packers and anyone who cares about them, with maybe just one more chance — right here — to rescue a floundering season. No franchise names elicit as much feeling as the two that will meet at Lambeau Field at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX. The merest mention of the Packers or Cowboys brings instant interest, immediate relevance, just as much spice and frisson regardless of whether the current version of the team is flying or flailing. Yet Sunday's blockbuster is a role reversal. This isn't what we've been used to as of late. Isn't it supposed to be Dallas, always touted for big things, yet unable to live up to them? Not so this time, that's for sure. Quite the opposite, the Cowboys having taken calamity and scoffed in the face of it on the way to a 6-2 record that feels, if anything, like it underplays their potential. And shouldn't it be the Packers greeting the midpoint of the NFL season with stability and steadiness, and an eye locked on the playoffs?

[BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Indiana Hoosiers at No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes: Under 58 points scored by both teams combined From FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre: The Buckeyes were stunningly inept last week against lowly Northwestern. They barely won by a score of 21-7, and they didn't come close to covering in poor weather. Playing so poorly in the weather has Buckeyes fans concerned about the upcoming Michigan game. But first, there’s a meeting with the horrendous Hoosiers, who are 40-point underdogs. I’ll take a gander on the total, and hope that Ryan Day calls off the dogs in the third quarter.
