We're now at the business end of the NFL season, and many Dallas Cowboys fans are looking forward to seeing their team plow through the remaining games of the season and get into the playoffs. America's Team will kickstart the second half of the campaign by taking on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10.
They need to win against the Vikings if they're to establish their place as big contenders for the Super Bowl. The Vikings will put up a fierce fight and will make things difficult for the Cowboys. They do have some of the best offensive talents in the league, but they will need to pull all the stops if they want to win without any hiccups.
That's exactly what the Cowboys offense will do this game, and here are three guesses about what will happen when the Cowboys meet the Vikings.
1. Dak Prescott will throw for 350+ yards
The key man in the Cowboys offense has always been Dak Prescott, and his performance will determine whether the Cowboys will have an overwhelming victory or struggle and lose in a disappointing fashion.
A poor start from Prescott will definitely bite them back in a big way. The Vikings are eighth in pass defense this season, only allowing five yards on average more than the Cowboys themselves. He will know better than to throw careless passes.
Interceptions will be the biggest fear for Cowboys fans. The three-interception game he had against the Green Bay Packers cost them the game, and a single pick could ruin his mojo.
However, there's no reason to believe that Prescott will be up for another impressive game. He hasn't thrown less than 200 yards a game this season. He's also due for a contract year, so it's in his best interest to show off against a tough team and finish with 350 passing yards.
2. Ezekiel Elliott will finish with three rushing TDs
Ezekiel Elliott is doing really well for himself. After securing a huge paycheck from the Cowboys, he's continued the good work that has gotten him that big-money deal.
However, he claims that he's not the best running back in the NFL right now. Minnesota has Dalvin Cook is the current rushing yards leader in the NFL and will be measured up against him.
He will want to establish himself as the best running back in the NFL and use this game as a statement to the rest of the league. He is the best running back and will show off numbers to prove it.
Elliot hasn't notched more than one touchdown a game this season, and this is the perfect time for him to go a gear higher.
1. The Cowboys will keep up with the Vikings
Given how the two teams almost match each other in terms of effectiveness, it is going to be a close fight where the final result will be decided by a single drive.
The two teams have similar star players and will give fans a show. However, it's the Cowboys who will emerge victorious this time. They will handle whatever the Vikings throw their way and finish on top.
