Vikings vs. Cowboys Odds
Game Preview
The Minnesota Vikings have had back-to-back roller coaster weeks. Firstly, they suffered humiliation in Seattle, losing 26-0. A week later, we saw them dismantle the Washington Commanders, 31-0. A complete madness.
JJ McCarthy had 163 passing yards for 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. Two of those scoring passes went to Josh Oliver, one to TJ Hockenson. Meanwhile, the Vikes racked up 162 rushing yards.
After three straight wins, the Cowboys lost to the Lions on the road on Thursday Night Football, 44-30. This loss hurt their playoff prospects significantly, and the team from Texas is now 6-6-1.
Dak wasn’t in his mood, having only one TD pass, two interceptions, completing 31 of 47 passing attempts, for 376 passing yards. Another problem was that the Cowboys had just 91 rushing yards, which eventually cost them the win.
Vikings vs. Cowboys Head to Head
The Dallas Cowboys lead the series, 19-15. Last meeting was in 2022, when Cowbys won 40-3. They have three wins in a row against Minnesota.
Vikings vs. Cowboys Predictions
Vikes oscillate too much, and even though they don’t have any pressure here, we don’t expect them to show up. We’ve seen them play terrible road games since the year started. Dallas is in a must-win situation, having what it takes to beat this rival. Dak and the boys won’t miss this chance.
