T.M. Selection: Minnesota Vikings.

I like the Minnesota Vikings to cover the spread against the Dallas Cowboys in this game on Sunday. The Vikings have played in a lot of close games this year and if a few things had gone differently in their favor in some of those games they could easily be looking at a 5-1 record this year but instead are 3-3. They have finally picked up some steam heading into their bye week winning 2 games in a row. I expect that their bye week was used to practice finishing their games as they have the potential to be a really good team if they can execute in those big moments of the game. I think they will have some confidence here after holding back Carolina's comeback to win in OT with a TD. The Cowboys also had their bye week and they were really hot going into it. I think that bye may have cooled them off a little and they started to show some cracks in their last game against the Patriots. They let the Patriots stay in that game right to the end and almost lost it having to settle the game in OT and take the win there. I think this could be the point where the Cowboys start to regress a little and I expect the Vikings to start turning the tables on their season as they are not as bad as their record suggests. I like the Vikings here at home to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 28-21 Vikings.
