Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings Final Betting Prediction

Oddsmakers and NFL handicappers are so far giving the Vikings the benefit of the doubt. If Dallas were such a lock, they’d be more than a 2 ½ points chalk.

After all, no team has beaten the Cowboys against the spread this season. Not only that, but Dallas would be undefeated if not for a couple of unlucky bounces versus Tampa in their first game.

But although Minnesota has a good offense and a decent defense, Dallas’ offense is on another level. The Boys rank fifth in passing yards per contest and second in rushing yards each game.

Kirk Cousins and the Vikings’ offense should score some points. It’s difficult seeing Cousins and Minnesota keeping up with Prescott and the Cowboys, though. Again, Minnesota is a good team, but Dallas is an offensive juggernaut. Cowboys cover.
