I'll side with Rosenthal on this one...
Cowboys at Vikings
Florio's take: After the Vikings trounced the Cowboys in the 2009 playoffs, Dallas linebacker Keith Brooking complained that the home team had run up the score. Thus, the looming rematch took on a higher level of significance. But with the Vikings and Cowboys currently struggling to win games, they've got bigger problems than worrying about petty notions of revenge. With Randy Moss making his return to the Metrodome, the place will be a-rockin'. The Cowboys would be wise to not go a-knockin'.
Florio's pick: Vikings 31, Cowboys 17.
Rosenthal's take: Great schaudenfraude game. [ Editor's note: For some reason, I take satisfaction and pleasure in the fact that Rosenthal doesn't know how to spell "schadenfreude."] Thirty fan bases can sit back and enjoy one of their least favorite teams go to 1-4. And the winning team only goes to 2-3! Dallas has a losing record, but has mostly looked unlucky and stupid. The Vikings have looked unlucky, stupid, and simply bad for long stretches. This is a week Minnesota's offensive tackles and cornerback depth will get exposed. Again.
Rosenthal's pick: Cowboys 26, Vikings 24.
