The Vikings host the Cowboys this Sunday afternoon. The Vikings are small home underdogs despite leading the NFC North and being tied for the NFL’s best record.
The Cowboys have been one of the NFL’s better defensive units, allowing only 18.2 points per game (fifth), while the Vikings score 25.1 points per game (eighth). Dallas allows 1.8 touchdowns per game, while the Vikings average three per game.
The Vikings’ defense has been beatable, especially through the air, and they allow 21.3 points per game this year (14th). The Cowboys look better offensively with Dak Prescott healthy, and they are averaging 23.
