The Minnesota Vikings hit the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys for Sunday Night Football. If the team on the opposing sideline didn’t have a star on its helmet, this game might have been flexed out by the NFL. The Cowboys are clinging to their playoff hopes with their 6-6-1 record.
Series Record: 15-19
Road Record: 8-6
Streak: L3
It sounds like CeeDee Lamb plans to play after a concussion last week. The team left him in the game, and Lamb complained about symptoms postgame. The Cowboys will have a litany of receiving options between Lamb, Pickens, and TE Jake Ferguson. However, the Vikings boast the fourth-best passing defense in the league. It will be strength against strength on that side of the ball.
On the other side, the NFL’s fourth-worst defense will face an inconsistent Vikings offense. J.J. McCarthy looked the part last week, but wasn’t asked to do a lot after a blazing hot start to the game. McCarthy should get another confidence booster this week against the Cowboys.
I’m oddly confident heading into this game. The Vikings might have just figured something out last week. The Cowboys defense is weak enough to allow McCarthy some room for error.
I’m taking the Vikings, 27 – 26.
