2025 NFL Sunday Night Football Week 15 Betting Lines

While still officially in playoff contention, the hopes of the Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys are slim as they prepare for a showdown in the Week 15 Sunday Night Football contest. With quarterback J.J. McCarthy back in the lineup the Vikings ended a four-game losing streak with their most complete game of the season beating Washington 31-0 on Sunday. It still probably won’t be enough for the 5-8 Vikings, who are having a down year after winning 14 games a season ago.

The Cowboys have been one of the worst defensive teams all season and they failed to contain the high-powered Lions in last week’s 44-30 loss that ended a three-game winning streak. Dak Prescott is doing his best to keep Dallas alive throwing for at least 320 yard in each of the last three games to take over as the NFL’s passing yards leader. The game takes place on Dec. 14 at 8:20 p.m. ET from ATT Stadium and can be seen on NBC.

Vikings at Cowboys Betting Preview

There hasn’t been a lot of consistency on offense for the Vikings. Sam Darnold had a career year in 2024 starting every game after getting handed the gig due to McCarthy’s preseason injury. The club banked on their young QB returning and let Darnold walk after guiding the Vikings to a 14-3 record a season ago. McCarthy looked like the player the Vikings envisioned on Sunday, but it took some time and it was only one game.

McCarthy missed time earlier in the season leaving veteran Carson Wentz to start several games and Max Brosmer started against Seattle in Week 13, which resulted in the undrafted rookie throwing four interceptions in the 26-0 setback. The Vikings have had difficulty valuing the football this season. They entered last week’s game with the worst turnover margin in the NFL but against Washington they did not have a giveaway. It was only the second game of the year without a turnover and the Vikings won both by a combined score of 79-10.

Reaching the postseason is highly unlikely for both teams, but the Vikings need to see what McCarthy can do as they move forward. He’s started just seven games and had thrown at least one interception in each of his first six with 11 total turnovers. He enjoyed the best game of his young career on Sunday going 16 of 23 for 163 yards with a career-best three TD passes. And he didn’t commit a turnover. Only once has he thrown for more than 200 yards.

In contrast the Cowboys boast the best passing attack in the NFL with Prescott leading the league with 3,637 yards. He’s completed 69 percent of his throws with 26 TDs helping Dallas to the third-highest scoring average at 29.3 points. But the Cowboys haven’t been able to overcome their deficiencies on defense leaving at 6-6-1 entering this contest.

Having a strong offense and a weak defense has put the Cowboys in a position to play plenty of high-scoring games. Their last two games had a closing total of more than 50 points and they easily cashed the OVER. In five games this season with a total higher than 50 the Boys are 4-1 against the OVER. Dallas is also averaging nearly 33 points in six home games with OVER at 4-2.

The teams last played during the 2022 season with Prescott delivering a masterful performance in Dallas’ 40-3 road victory. Prescott was 22 of 25 for 276 yards with a pair of scoring passes and the Cowboys scored the final 37 points in their third straight triumph and cover in the series. Dating back to the 2013 season the Cowboys have won five of the last six meetings with Minnesota’s lone victory taking place in Texas.
