Cowboys at Vikings: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Vikings 31, Cowboys 20
Money line (?)
This is a tough one because Minnesota is such a prohibitive favorite (-304) that there isn’t enough return for a team that has a history of blowing games with a young secondary. The Cowboys (+250) could be ripe for a very small wager seeing as they’re well rested while Minnesota is coming off a Monday night game. The smart money says AVOID.
Against the spread (?)
This line has fluctuated, but it is in a good place at Minnesota -7. If Dallas can’t stop RB Dalvin Cook, it opens up the entire playbook. While Cook was just average Monday vs. the Chicago Bears (96 yards on 30 carries), Minnesota has committed to being a dominant run team. Both teams take deep shots and hit on enough of them. Take the VIKINGS -7 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
The O/U of 47.5 is a little low, especially since both teams have the weapons on offense to put up points. The score doesn’t have to be too lopsided to go Over this small point. Take the OVER 47.5 (-115).
