ESPN FPI has Vikings as heavy favorites

[sbark]

Just caught.........Vikes plan to go Deep passing game early and often. Likely really is their only hope to put up more than 16 points, and our problem is our pass rush.

I just don't feel like we are the underdog going to Minnesota. I think we win this game by more than a touchdown. Go Cowboys

anybody that has even been listening to whts happening in MIN should know this is just another avg team who is worse now with their injuries. Dallas by atleast 13. Dallas has been dominating on def against the run, and MIN has no WRs. Their def is banged up. IM not going to say blowout but its just a mismatch for the Cowboys. Think u people need to stop listening to the media which u say you guys hate because they are so biased against Dallas but still live for their reports and predictions.

I don't listen to the media. The only media I watch/listen to is NFL Gameday on Sundays or whatever day the Boy's are playing. Other than that, I only come here. It's hard to win in the league. It's very hard to win 10 straight, one of the reasons no other Cowboys team has done it, ever! I know we are the better team. But we have all seen the better team lose on Sundays. It happens. This place is a hard place to play, the crowd will be jacked, the Vikings will be jacked, they are in playoff mode, it is a must win for them. The Cowboys are "due" all of that plays against us winning. However, like I said, I won't bet against this group of Cowboys, one good thing about Rookies, they don't know any better. I think this will be a tough game.

the media is sure going crazy trying to get the Vikings to beat the boys so that the giants game will be for first place and home field through out the playoffs they are doing every thing they can do to get the Vikings pumped up

Can someone here explain to me what is gained by being super confident about this team?

 

[CowboyGil]

People forget Dak played in the SEC in front of crowds at 'Bama, LSU just to name the loudest. And he won. Those places are as big or bigger than any NFL stage.

 

[Fontaine]

Good, were better when we're the underdogs.

I guess it's time to run it down their throats to.

This really blows. Gonna be a heavy coffee day tomorrow. Not sure I'll be able to teach class.

It won't even take until the end of the 1st half for people who picked the Vikings to feel really freaking stupid.

Hope you are right; sooner or later we will drop a game, but hopefully not tonite...

Minnesota will game plan to stop our run game. They're going to stack the box right off the bat. So, we should come out throwing the ball to take advantage of it in two ways:
1) their defensive alignments will make them vulnerable to the pass (short, medium, and even a few downfield)
2) if we successfully throw the ball early, it will loosen up their run defense and we can pound them with it then.

Overall, we need to remain very balanced on offense, but I would come out throwing the ball initially.

Who cares?

Way too many people that I assume are uptight and sensitive in real life.

Can someone here explain to me what is gained by being super confident about this team?

Only thing I can think of

-Coach is hurt. Do it for him.
-Their backs are against the wall
-They may just try to air it out and we aren't prepared.

Other than that? I've got nothing

 

[drawandstrike]

I'm saving this just for the laughs once the game is over.

Can someone explain to me what is gained by being super pessimistic about this team?

Meanwhile to answer your questions, postive vibes are to be gained by being confident. Also happiness and joy.

I hope you answer my question.
