Vikings vs Cowboys SNF Best Bets

Vikings +6.5

Jason Logan is all over the Minnesota Vikings, who are catching far too many points vs. the Dallas Cowboys.

"While last week’s win may have come against a broken Commanders squad, McCarthy and the offense ran a balanced playbook that marched for 25 first downs and 5.1 yards per play — the second-best EPA per play performance of Week 14. That finally provided some backing for a Minnesota defense that has found its form in the second half of the season. Since Week 9, the Vikings rank Top 10 in EPA allowed per play and opponent success rate despite playing some very good teams (Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, Green Bay, and Chicago)."

Under 47.5

Logan is leaning Under with a tall total on the board for Sunday Night Football.

"The Vikings can’t win a shootout with Dak Prescott. Minnesota’s pass rush will force Dallas to go shorter and hand off more to cool the heat on Prescott. The Vikings will take their time on offense with McCarthy still learning on the job."

Vikings vs Cowboys Anytime Touchdown Picks

J.J. McCarthy anytime touchdown

Kenny Ducey is looking for J.J. McCarthy to call his own number tonight.

"Dallas has allowed six rushing touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks — the most in the NFL — and on top of that, McCarthy has rushed for two touchdowns inside the 20 on just three carries. He has a fair chance of having a nice game here, given the Cowboys’ defense rarely creates turnovers and allows the third-most yards per throw in the league, and with that confidence, you’d expect him to take matters into his own hands in close."

Vikings vs Cowboys Player Props

Dak Prescott longest completion under 37.5 yards

Robert Criscola believes the Vikings' vicious defense will keep Dak Prescott in check on Sunday Night Football.

"Minnesota enters this one ranked tops in the NFL in fewest 20+ yard passing plays allowed. It's partly because they generate the third-highest pressure rate on opposing passers. Prescott will be under duress with OL Tyler Guyton possibly out, along with TE Jake Ferguson and WR CeeDee Lamb also nursing injuries."
