**SNF - Vikings at Cowboys**(-5.5, 48) 8:20 (11 Viewers)

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
 
Dallas is such an odd team. Capable of beating anyone....and capable of losing to almost anyone. Let's call this one an L, though obviously not a high confidence pick. Minnesota 34-31 in a shootout

I don’t see the MIN offense capable of. Shootout, even vs. the DAL secondary. In fact, I went out and picked up a bunch of DAL D for this week (and NYG D for next two).

no better then the Washington defense that Minny ran up a score on last week.

There is really no result in this game that would surprise me, but I do think the Vikings are likely to move the ball well enough to make you regret your choice
 
Vikings have all their outside LBs going for the second time this season. Flores can call up anything he wants. Dallas going to force things and the Vikings win easily.
 
Dallas would be wise to get Flournoy in tune with Dak before the end of the season.

That way they don't need to strap themselves down paying Pickens another top dollar WR contract next year.
 
-27 in one of our wildcard games this week

CDL and JJ -27 vs Waddle

163-136, I'm pulling for the Waddle team...

What do you need tonight or what game of interest are you watching in your league that none of us care about...

That ship has sailed.

They’re either gonna sign Pickens to a reasonable deal or franchise him. Franchising him could lead to disaster.

And I feel like Dak and Flournoy have pretty good chemistry - he just had a game with a ton of catches

Might need to be more of a pass heavy game for Dallas.

That’s a recipe for disaster. Saw a stat the other day that was nothing along the lines of- when he passes over 35 times they’re like 10-20. Under 35 PA and they’re like 30-10

I've always found those stats to be pretty meaningless. Runs and passes are so heavily determined by leading or trailing scripts.
