Despite coming off their bye, the Cowboys have a giant question mark heading into tonight’s game. It appears quarterback Dak Prescott is a true game-time decision. However, those closer to the situation have expressed they would be surprised if he plays, and the NFL betting odds have moved to reflect this. So, it would be Cooper Rush under center instead, which is a clear downgrade for this entire offense, which needs to pass the ball with success tonight.
The Vikings are an interesting team. They have three wins in their past four games, though none of them have come against good teams. Their offense is solid, with playmakers all over the field. However, play-calling and the philosophy of their defensive-minded head coach often get in the way. Defensively, the pass rush has been good, but the secondary has its holes, which is why the absence of Prescott would be huge.
