**SNF - Vikings at Cowboys**(-5.5, 48) 8:20 (1 Viewer)

Nice shutout win for the Vikings last week, though it was the injured Commanders (I still didn't see it coming) and most Vikings fans I know, were mostly upset about losing draft position. McCarthy has been bad this season (no doubt there) but you can still see the tools every week, and last week they came together a bit. Dallas has a great DL, but the back-end sucks (and now Diggs seemingly quit the team?) I think you have to grit your teeth and still roll Jefferson out there, unless you really have clear better options. Matchups don't get better. I also think they should have some success running now that the OL is healthy. I don't know that Jones has enough of a stranglehold to trust as more than a flex though.
I think Dallas is a lot different than Washington on offense, and I expect them to cut right through the Vikings defense. LT Nate Thomas will have his hands full (and likely need help) with Greenard, but I think Dak has a pretty big game here, and I think Pickens and especially Lamb have big games. One note about the Vikings, they've had a lot of trouble at slot CB this season. They had used Metellus there, but now he's a full time Safety, and that's probably been a mistake. Murphy is playing slot now, and he's better outside. There is a lot of mix and matching going on in the secondary beyond the good, but small Rodgers (who likely sees a lot of Pickens who has 5 inches and 30 pounds on him) and what's left of Smith, who doesn't have the speed to mask mistakes on the backend. I also expect a TD from Javonte (quietly 6th in the NFL) and some decent yardage.
Cowboys-31
Vikings-17
