The Vikings have the offensive weapons in place for quarterback J.J. McCarthy to put points on the board, and the Cowboys have averaged 29.5 points per game across the past four since their Week 10 bye. Of course, the Dallas defense has also allowed a healthy 27.3 points per and hit the Over in three of four. Minny played a pair of tough defenses -- the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks -- on the road prior to putting up 31 points on the Washington Commanders in Week 14, and I expect the Vikings to do their part in pushing this total Over the number in against another soft stop unit in Week 15.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
A throwing game script is implied by the Vikings being a -6-point underdog in this game.. Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Vikings to pass on 60.5% of their opportunities: the 8th-greatest clip among all teams this week.. Right now, the 2nd-most pass-centric team in football in the red zone (63.3% adjusted for context) according to the predictive model is the Minnesota Vikings.. The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (meaning zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may suffer.. The Cowboys defense has been a well-known pass funnel this year, causing opposing quarterbacks to attempt the 6th-most passes in the league (38.0 per game) this year.

EV Model Rating

The projections expect the Dallas Cowboys to be the 8th-most pass-oriented team in the NFL (context-neutralized) at the present time with a 62.2% pass rate.. The predictive model expects the Cowboys to run the 9th-most total plays on the slate this week with 65.3 plays, based on their underlying traits and game dynamics.. The Cowboys have run the 7th-most plays in football this year, totaling a colossal 59.8 plays per game.. This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.. Dak Prescott's 274.0 adjusted passing yards per game this year represents a noteworthy improvement in his throwing ability over last year's 244.0 mark.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
A rushing game script is suggested by the Cowboys being a 6-point favorite in this week's game.. Opposing teams have averaged 29.5 pass attempts per game against the Vikings defense this year: 3rd-fewest in the NFL.. The Dallas offensive line profiles as the 5th-worst in football this year in pass protection, which has a harmful influence on all pass attack statistics across the board.
