NFL Week 13 - Thursday Night Preview

Dallas Cowboys (10-1) @ Minnesota Vikings (6-5) - U.S Bank Stadium

The Vikings face a crucial Thursday Night showdown with the high flying Cowboys as they look to stay in touch in the NFC North. One game Behind the division leading 7-4 Detroit Lions the Vikings are in desperate need of a victory after dropping 5 of their last 6 games. The Vikings will be without Head Coach Mike Zimmer after a third eye operation means he will be watching this game from home. Dallas have won 10 straight games mainly behind a high octane offense which rates 3rd in the league in overall scoring and 5th in yards. This will be another great test for the Cowboys against a stout Vikings defence which has allowed the 2nd fewest points per game in the league.

Verdict - Dallas 26 Vikings 16

Dallas just look too solid right now and I think they win their 11th straight game here. The Vikings will be tough at home however they just seem to have too many issues on offense right now and I can them them falling out of the playoff race in the next few weeks.
