There's a big match coming up for the Dallas Cowboys as they face the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. It will be a big test as both teams currently have similar records in a tight NFC playoff race.

However, Dak Prescott will be eager to show his worth to the rest of the league. Not only is he playing in order to lead the Cowboys into a good playoff spot, but he's also trying to get as best of a contract as he possibly can. If he wants to get the biggest payday of his life, he needs to show up and make fantastic passes against the Vikings pass defense.

With such a burden encumbered on his shoulders, Cowboys Nation can expect Prescott to show off and lead the team to a one-way victory. Here are three guesses of what an extremely motivated Prescott can do against the Vikings.

Prescott will throw for 300 yards

If there's one thing fans can count on Prescott, it's his ability to pass the football. He's been one of the better QBs in the NFL, and he will prove that against the Vikings.

If there was a single potential problem that will stop Prescott from playing his best, it would be Minnesota's pass defense. They're just behind Dallas in the pass defense rankings, and they have outstanding talent throughout their defensive unit.

It will be up to Prescott's arm and vision to overcome that defense, and he's more than capable of doing so. A number like 300 passing yards is not impossible for a QB of Prescott's caliber, and he's a man on a mission. This is very likely to happen.

Prescott will not throw an interception

Whenever a QB gets aggressive in the pocket, they tend to get careless. They get an extreme case of tunnel vision as they greedily chase for touchdowns and yards. That's a possibility for Prescott as he's betting on himself this season. Moreover, the Vikings defense has been outstanding as well, so multiple interceptions are in the cards.

However, it's also possible that he'll have a wide view of the situation and find the open man in spite of all the pressure, internal or otherwise. He's also shown in Week 1 that he can throw for 400 yards without making a single pick. There's a reason to believe that he can do that against the Vikings as well.

Prescott will dominate the Vikings

With such a big goal in his crosshairs, Prescott is determined to make his case against the Vikings. He will get his big-money deal and be respected as one of the best QBs in the league. He'll have to break the Vikings in the process, but that's something he's more than willing to do.
