2 TEAS (bought 1 point)
DALLAS COWBOYS +3½EV (B+8)
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS +4-115 (B+8)
Dallas are playing good football, their defense is rock solid, the Cooper-Dak Prescott connection is legitimate and making teams spread out their CB more. The Eagles did not look good in their win last week over the Redskins.
This is the second road game for the Vikes and it takes it toll at the end if the season, Seattle Seahawks like Dallas is playing good balls, the offense is clicking and they are at home. All six of the Vikings’ wins (and their tie) came against teams currently .500 or worse. Bobby Wagner has anchored this new Seahawks defense. Russell Wilson has been the much better and hotter quarterback, and the Vikings haven’t been right all year. They’re unlikely to put it all together in a place like Seattle, especially in prime time. Last week Minnesota was down 10-7 at the half and tied the game late in the third quarter but gave up a four-play, 75-yard drive that gave the Patriots the lead for good with 35 seconds to play in the third. The Vikings were outgained 471-278 in the contest, gave up 27 first downs to their 16 and lost the time of possession by a 33:21 to 26:39 margin. Minnesota also committed two turnovers while forcing one in the contest.
