Cowboys vs Vikings Betting Pick
This game will be played at US Bank Stadium at 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, November 20, 2022.
Why Bet The Cowboys:
✅ The pass rush of the Cowboys should help them to come away with a win in this contest. Dallas leads the NFL with 33 sacks this season and should be able to get pressure on Kirk Cousins here. That pressure will lead to mistakes, and a Dallas victory.
✅ The Cowboys offense has woken up since Dak Prescott has returned from injury. Dallas has scored at least 28 points in two straight games, and their offensive improvement will help them to get a huge win here.
✅ The Vikings have the better straight up record on the season, but the Cowboys have been better against the spread. Dallas is 6-3 against the spread, while the Vikings are 4-4-1 against the number. Dallas is tied for the third best record against the number, and will flex that muscle here.

Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys lost in overtime to the Green Bay Packers last week, blowing a two-touchdown lead to fall to 6-3. That loss dropped the Cowboys to third place in the NFC East, behind the Eagles and Giants. However, the Cowboys are still firmly in a playoff position coming into this week.
In this game, the Cowboys pass defense has to show up to play again. They really fell apart in the second half against the Packers, letting Christian Watson do as he pleased in their secondary. Against a team with Justin Jefferson on the opposite side, Dallas can’t afford to do that again.
Minnesota Vikings
For the Minnesota Vikings, this season has been as close to perfect as possible so far. They are 8-1, and coming off of a win in one of the games of the year against the Buffalo Bills. Thanks to some big Bills mistakes, and some clutch plays of their own, the Vikings are not only in position to win the NFC North, but to contend for a first round bye in the playoffs.
This week, the Vikings have to move the ball effectively on the ground. Doing so will prevent the Cowboys from being able to rush the passer quite as effectively as they usually do, which could be what decides the outcome of this game.
