At the beginning of the season, the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings were considered playoff teams. Instead, the 2025 season has become a total humiliation for both of these proud franchises.
QB Sam Darnold took the Vikings to the 2024 NFL Playoffs. But the Vikings outsmarted themselves by sending him to the Seattle Seahawks in favor of JJ McCarthy. In turn, McCarthy has turned out to be a bust, at least so far.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys traded their best defender, Micah Parsons, to the Green Bay Packers. Now the Dallas defense rates as among the worst in football.
Sunday Night Football and the Dallas Cowboys equal massive TV ratings and betting activity.
The NFL could have rescheduled this game for a better matchup. But there is a reason why the Cowboys are called America’s Team.
Thus, there will be a stampede to the betting window and an overload of live betting.
