"Week 15's slate of Sunday games wraps up with the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Minnesota Vikings on "Sunday Night Football." The Cowboys are fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive after seeing their three-game win streak come to an end last week against the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys (6-6-1) are in second place in the NFC East but are +600 to make the playoffs."
"McCarthy has been remarkably better on-script than off-script. On the Vikings' first two possessions of the game, he has a dropback success rate of 50% and a completion percentage of 71.4% -- he averages 8.2 yards per pass attempt. On all other possessions, he has a 36% success rate and 52.4% completion percentage. His yards per attempt fall to 5.5."
"It's the right kind of uncomfortable. The Cowboys can score, but they face a Minnesota defense that has been lights-out against the pass for a month, living in two-high and forcing quarterbacks into long and boring drives. That's where the Cowboys stall. And the Dallas secondary has been a weekly donation box for WR1s, which finally gives the Vikings offense a real path to keep pace."
Week 15 concludes with the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys enter 6-6-1 after a loss that ended a three-game win streak and sit second in the NFC East with roughly +600 playoff odds. The Vikings stand 5-8 after snapping a four-game slide and possess minimal playoff chances. Dallas opens as a 5.5-point home favorite. Analysts provide game picks, prop-bet guidance, and DFS recommendations. One analyst backs the Vikings +5.5 citing Minnesota’s strong recent pass defense and Dallas’ vulnerable secondary. Notable props include J.J. McCarthy first-quarter passing yards and a Javonte Williams over 70.5 rushing yards wager.
