The way that I see it Sunday

[CoachD]

So the Cowboys should be well rested and healthier after the bye week but I'm not sure how much healthier with all of the players that they have on IR right now. Offensively the Cowboys are going to go with Andy Dalton which is an iffy call since he's most likely not gonna be in Dallas next year plus everyone seems to like Gilbert as the starter for the rest of the season plus you have a good and cheap back up next year. Defensively the Cowboys have gotten better the last few games but they'll be hard pressed to stop one of the best backs in the league in Cook but hopefully the Cowboys will be able to put enough pressure on Kirt Cousins who doesn't play well against the Cowboys. The worst part about this unit is that Diggs is out for at least 4 games and that kid was getting better every snap. I have very little issue with the Cowboy's special teams except with the new punter so we'll see how that goes. With all that being said I still have to go with the Vikings because even though the Cowboys will play hard and be competitive they just make too many mistakes plus they don't get the breaks that a lot of other teams they play get so I like the Viking in a close but low scoring game.

Vikings 23
Cowboys 17

We're not beating the Vikings. They're going to steal our wills.

Vikings 37
Cowboys 17

Yea this is about right, but a couple things.

1. The Vikings can beat themselves just as easily as the Cowboys can.
2. Chido is back, so that's still a net gain even with Diggs out.
3. The Vikings DL is atrocious, the weaknesses on the OL shouldn't be nearly as much of a problem as they have been .

There's really no end score that should surprise anybody.

You can't give McCarthy an extra week to prepare.

This isn't close.

 

[Praxit]

..the fact Red Baron is starting, gives me the 'meh', feeling. But will see what he can do.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

I don't have the Cowboys as a favorite in any remaining game. Cook runs for 150 and two TDs. The Vikes defense also scores on a Dallas turnover.

Vikings win going away.

[Hawkeye0202]

Stop Cook .........we win

 

[fivetwos]

The Minnesota game last year was the worst Dallas got beat up on each side of the ball up front last year...and they considerably worse on each line this time around.

Minny is on a bit of a roll also.

This shouldnt be close but it may end up that way just because that's how the games go.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Too bad for Dallas, they had a bye week. They were on a roll with their moral victory and all. Let's see if they can restart that juggernaut. I feel Dalton is going to be a little gun shy and have a quick trigger finger. You know Zimmer will bring it early and often. Just hope he doesn't get hit in the head again. Vikings +14.

 

[Whyjerry]

Has Dallas been a good team at any moment of this season? Minnesota is going to bully this baby bunch. I see a blowout and a physical beat down.

 

[Creeper]

Don't the Cowboys have a losing record after the bye under JG? I guess we'll see if MM is any better with an extra week to prepare. But not having the starting QB, LT, and RT is going to make a difference. I will continue to pick the Cowboys opponents until they show a defense that is more consistent and capable of making a crucial stop. Oh, and they stop turning the ball over! Vikings 31 - Cowboys 13.

Sounds about right.
I think we have a shot at winning, though not even 50%, maybe 40%
But it will have to be a mistake free game from us, and a mistake filled game from them. Our D must get sacks and a few turnovers, but they must get TD's from those, on D or on Offense.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Oh, come on. The Cowboys haven’t won on the road in over a calendar year. They’re due.

 

[75boyz]

So true. Almost Saban or Hoodie-esque with an extra week. My gosh, what are people thinking.

I mean, peppy steps and everything even, geez.

Dallas 20

[DogFace]

I will get pretty drunk for that game.


Just like all the others.

The Vikings dline is a bunch of no names..but they played very well vs Chicago..I was impressed..I wouldn't be so quick to count them out...

 

[nobody]

No team is "due" anything ever. They have to earn it. So far they've sucked at winning on the road.

They haven't deserved to win on the road and thus haven't.
