The Vikings are in the midst of their bye week, and after Week 7, the team has a tough test ahead.
Without CB Patrick Peterson, the Minnesota defense will have to figure out how to stop QB Dak Prescott and the high-octane Cowboys offense. Dallas currently sits at 5-1 and is also in its bye week.
Generally speaking, the market has favored the Cowboys in the matchup. According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Cowboys are favored by 2.5 points over the Vikings as of now.
Minnesota probably gets a slight boost by beating Carolina in Week 6. Also, the Vikings are back at home against the Cowboys. But Dallas’ one blemish this season was a close loss to Tampa Bay in Week 1. Overall, the Cowboys look to be one of the top teams in the NFL. The Vikings need to play up to their potential.
