Just keeping with tradition. This is gonna be our biggest test,.

Vikings losses are to Arizona, Bengals and Browns.
Loss to Browns by 7
Loss to Bengals by 3
Loss to Arizona by 1.

Their wins were close too.

3rd in first downs
4th yards average rushing
4th in yards

I think they lead in big plays too and we play there. Gonna be a close game.

I definitely expect a shootout. Our defense hasn’t consistently stopped any really good offenses yet. And the Vikings certainly have one.

They are a good team and can beat us. Good test but we have the better talent overall. Most importantly we have the better quarterback. In the end that should decide the game.

Yep..

Tough game on the road and wouldn’t surprise me if we take an L this week.

Vegas has the game at nearly 50/50 as well.

We’re going to lose at some point. It’s just inevitable. This week has potential of being the week.

If we get past them I think we should be good until KC. KC is terrible right now but they won’t look as disinterested as they looked against the Titans last week.

This will be the most complete offense we have faced so far this year.

This is going to be a big test for the Dallas defense, the Vikings are a good team...if Dallas can't stop the run, it's going to be a long night for them!

Vikings have a not so great offensive line. That’s the only thing keeping me from thinking their running game has its way with Dallas’ defense.
Cousins has only been sacked 9 times. That's good for 28th in the NFL.

They have a top 10 rushing attack also.

So I believe their O-Line is more than capable of holding off our guys.

Yet if Dallas wins who will then say Vike were nothing more than a 3-3 team? lol Yes they have played some close games and lost, NFL is loaded with close games yet Minn has not been able to make the key play when they needed it. They are 26th vs the run, so I do expect Cowboys to be able to use Zeke and Pollard to go after them. Vikes have a very good pass rush without relying on 1 guy to bring pressure but they do have issues in their secondary. I see this as a 4th qrt game but I believe the Cowboys have the fire power to pull away in the 4th

I think running on them will be vital, Dallas has surprised/ exposed good rush defenses. Clock control.. (My gawd Mcarthy) will be a big thing too. Keep the defense fresh, keep Vikings O off the field.

Very true.. The analyst will say "Oh it was just the Vikings"

I could care less what people are saying. I’m confident in Dallas this year. It’s just unrealistic to win every NFL game.

Outside of a massive injury Dallas is going to be as good as any team in football come playoff time whether we win or lose to Minnesota.
