dallas cowboys 40 vs minnesota vikings 3

ANALYSIS

The Dallas Cowboys are surprisingly favored in Sunday’s game which will see them travel to face the 8-1 Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings are coming off a stunning 33-30 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills, their seventh straight victory. Justin Jefferson had one of the best games for a receiver in years, catching 10 passes for 193 yards and a TD, including an incredible one-handed grab on 4th and 16.

The Cowboys blew a lead in Green Bay and lost to the Packers 31-28 in overtime. Dak Prescott threw for 265 yards and 3 TD but threw 2 second quarter interceptions and the Cowboys defense was unable to trouble Aaron Rodgers, who threw 3 TD and 0 INT, and was sacked just twice.
