Cowboys vs. Vikings Prediction
Analysis by Arif Hasan, NFL Analyst
After a disappointing performance from Dallas against Green Bay and a surprising performance from Minnesota against the Bills, it feels a little odd that the Cowboys are favored. But the fundamentals favor Dallas, who have a top-three defense with an incredible pass-rush unit and a standout corner.
Should Dak Prescott play as he did against the Bears — or how he has for most of his career — they’ll have a much more complete squad than the Vikings. But Prescott hasn’t played like that in his limited showings this year. On top of that, the Cowboys do have issues defending the run, and the Vikings have been getting better at running the ball every week.

The key will, of course, be Justin Jefferson. Given that Trevon Diggs doesn’t often shadow receivers, we’ll likely see some Jefferson-specific plays and another highlight performance. It’s hard for Dallas to keep pace with that, even if CeeDee Lamb resolves his drop issues, and even if Dallas can reignite Ezekiel Elliott against a clutch defense nevertheless full of holes.
