Somehow we opened as 1.5 favorites, which went up to 2. Wow.

McCarthy has beaten his former division rival on the road in each of his first two seasons. Oddly, Dak Prescott did not play in either game.

Tough to envision winning there for a third year in a row, and they are better than us on paper right now.

However….if we can get some things fixed and defeat this quality opponent on the road, there’s no reason not to be at least a little hopeful for the postseason.

Happens all the time in the NFL. Give me the team that just got embarrassed to beat the team coming off the big emotional win.
That would ring true, but you're talking about the Cowboys.

You should know better. They aren't like other teams in these situations.

I get your negative shtick and that you relish in the moments right after a Cowboys loss, but stop acting like Kirk Cousins is Tom Brady. Dude can and has been beaten, including by this team with a backup QB last year.

Yeah, because last year matters and teams don't change from year to year.

Thats b/c people always bet on the Cowboys no matter who we play so Vegas needs to balance the bets by enticing gamblers to put money on the Vikings. If I was a betting man, I'd take the Vikings and 2 points in a heartbeat.

I hope for a high scoring game with a last second field goal to win the game for us.

How in the world we would be favorites for this game remains one of life's great mysteries...
