There was a lot of talk leading up to the game on Sunday about how the 8-1 Vikings, who were fresh off a win over the Super Bowl-contending Buffalo Bills, were underdogs at home vs. the 6-3 Dallas Cowboys.
The 8-1 Minnesota Vikings are currently +1.5 at home vs. the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11.
Per @ESPNStatsInfo, it would be the first time since 1976 that a team 8-1 or better (that started its regular quarterback) was a home underdog— Ben Fawkes (@BFawkes22) November 17, 2022Many fans felt like the team was being disrespected and that if they weren’t favored at home, there was just no way to convince the national media that this Vikings team was good.
