Fun fact: our next two games are against the 2 teams that are dead last in the league at running the ball.

Not kidding. These offenses are so out of balance it isn't even funny.

So they're saying this game is going to be a test? We should save that quote for after we win.

This is odd. I get that Minnesota is a difficult place to play. But it seems odd that a team that's basically nosedived losing 5 out of 6 would be favored, by any index, over the best team in the league that's won 10 straight.

Vikes- 17
Cowboys- 31

It'll be close in the 1st half then we blow em out in the 2nd half. Our run game will be too much for their defense and their offense doesn't scare me that much. Anything can happen on any given game day but if we play like we have been playing and they play the way they've been playing then I say 31-17 with EE getting 150 yards.

The thing that concerns me is the super-loud stadium. It will be hard to change plays at the line and the OL will be at a disadvantage. If Dallas handles the noise well then I think they can run on Minny.

Interestingly enough, the betting line has added another point to Dallas point spread,,, -3.5,,, lots of money being bet on the Vikings I guess.(?) I confess to not knowing how the betting lines work. :huh:
Setting up the vig; house will get paid no matter who you bet on.

I think we realize that's it's all relative.
That 2000 Ravens defense was on an entire different plane--another stratosphere--from what they are running out there this year.
I think many consider it a top 3-4 best defense in all of NFL history.

But we are playing in 2016, so that's what counts.

Huh? What's relative? Lol
