The Dallas Cowboys host the Minnesota Vikings for an exciting Week 15 matchup. This Cowboys vs Vikings features two teams from NFC East and NFC North, headed to two polar opposite seasons.
The Cowboys are are coming off a blowout loss to Detroit in Week 14, with a final score line of 44-30. They are fighting to keep their playoff hopes and are .500 currently with 4 games remaining. With the Eagles currently struggling with their lackluster offense, the Cowboys still have a chance to take the lead over Philly provided that some things follow in their favor. They only have 12% chance currently to make the playoffs.
Meanwhile the Vikings are 5-8 for the season and 4th in the NFC North with four games remaining for the season. They are more or less done for the season with only 1% chance to make the playoffs, which was not the expectations we had for this team. The J.J. McCarthy experiment has yet to be fruitful for this team, and we wonder what their future looks like ahead.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Javonte Williams under 17.5 rushing attempts | -132 | -110 |
| Javonte Williams anytime touchdown scorer | -130 | -125 |
| Jordan Mason over 38.5 rushing yards | -114 | -118 |
Javonte Williams has been a key weapon in Dallas’ success offense this season and has 10 or more rushing attempts in every game he’s played so far. He’s totaled five games this season with over 17.5 attempts, including 17 attempts or more in the last four games. Looking at the Vikings’ rush defense that ranks 22nd in the league, allowing 127 yards per game, this is a great bet.
Williams has been a kay touchdown scorer in the Cowboys’ offense with 9 rushing TDs for the season and 2 receiving. His red-zone threat and looking at the Vikings’ 22nd ranked rushing defense, Williams is a threat to score. However, he’s totaled only two TDs (rushing and receiving) in his last 5 games, even with high volume of attempts making this a riskier bet. Despite his recent stretch, Williams is having a career year this season averaging 78.6 yards per game, making him a threat to score.
In 9 of 13 games this season, Mason has crossed 38.5 yards rushing and has four straight games hitting this mark as of recent. His recent pattern and his 11 rush attempts against Washington indicates that there is a high probability for him to cross this threshold again. With the Cowboys’ 24th ranked rush defense allowing 131.4 yards a game, this is a great bet.
We expect the Dallas Cowboys to beat the Minnesota Vikings in this Sunday Night Football action. The Cowboys had a disappointing loss to the Lions in Week 14 but had two impressive wins against the Eagles and the Cowboys prior. The Vikings have a strong defense but are 27th in the league total offense. Their passing offense ranks 23rd with only 13 passing TDs and even worse their rushing offense which ranks 25th in the league. Simply put, the Cowboys have no business losing this game, and ranking 3rd in total offense, we expect them to win.
Prediction: Cowboys win 28-20

mma I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
