Our Staff Prediction for Cowboys at Vikings
The VikingsTerritory collective staff prediction for the Minnesota Vikings date with the Dallas Cowboys is ready.
Minnesota can improve to 4-3 after Week 8 if they knock off the 5-1 Cowboys, who may or may not have quarterback Dak Prescott available.
The writers at VikingsTerritory predict the Vikings will notch their fourth win of the season. Two weeks ago, we picked the Vikings to win by five points over the Carolina Panthers. Minnesota won by six.
