The Dallas Cowboys will play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon at U.S Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Dallas led this game 28-14 in the third quarter, but their offense couldn’t muster any points to close the game out. The Dallas offense is averaging 23.4 points per game with 198.6 passing yards per game and 134.6 rushing yards per game. Dak Prescott has thrown for 856 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions for the Cowboys this season. Tony Pollard has rushed for 621 yards and six scores, while CeeDee Lamb has caught 53 passes for 706 yards and five touchdowns for Dallas. The Dallas defense is giving up 18.2 points per game and 324.8 yards per game.
The Minnesota Vikings are 8-1 this season after they defeated the Buffalo Bills in overtime by a score of 33-30 in their last game. Minnesota allowed Buffalo to gain 486 total yards, but was able to force four turnovers in the win.

The Minnesota defense is allowing 21.2 points per game and 381.2 yards per game.
Dallas is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss and 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games. The over is 3-1-1 in Dallas’ last 5 road games. Minnesota is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 November games. The over is 7-1 in Minnesota’s last 8 home games. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Minnesota has started the season with an 8-1 record, but has allowed the fourth most yards on defense. Dallas has played well offensively in their last three games and should be able to move the ball on Minnesota. Minnesota also has a good offensive attack and will be at home. I like Dallas to bounce back in this game on the road.
