Why the Vikings can cover
Playing at home hasn’t been much of an advantage for the Cowboys in this series, as the Vikings sport a 7-2 record over their last nine regular season trips to Dallas. Last week saw Minnesota play its most complete game of the year, scoring its second-most points (31) while allowing its fewest (0) as J.J. McCarthy had his best game as a pro. The second-year QB had three passing touchdowns and no turnovers as he has a great chance of continuing that type of production versus Dallas’ 31st-ranked scoring defense, especially with it still missing CB Trevon Diggs (knee). The Cowboys rank dead last, however, in passing defense, with additional bottom-two rankings in both third-down defense and redzone defense. The Vikings’ defense is light years ahead of the Cowboys, with the former ranking No. 3 in the redzone and No. 4 against the pass. See which team to back at SportsLine.
Why the Cowboys can cover
The Cowboys have covered in four of their last five home games in 2025, while the Vikings have dropped four of their last five, overall, versus the spread. Dallas’ success is predicated on its offense, which is elite, as Dak Prescott leads the NFL in both passing yards and QBR, as the Cowboys rank first in total yards and third in points scored. At home, the Cowboys are averaging 32.7 points, which is twice as much as the 16 ppg that the Vikings are averaging outside of Minneapolis. Additionally, no team has committed more turnovers than the Vikings, who also have the league’s second-worst turnover differential, and giving the ball away will only allow Dallas’ high-octane offense to put more points on the scoreboard.

Utah s Vejmelkou v brance předvedl skvělý obrat
Vejmelka inkasoval potřetí v úvodu druhé třetiny, ale v brance zůstal a nepustil do ní svého krajana Vítka Vaněčka. Přestože si Vejmelka připsal v celém utkání jen dvanáct zákroků, jeho spoluhráči se na začátku třetí části vzepjali k obratu, když dali čtyři branky za sedm minut. Pittsburghu se povedlo pět minut před koncem srovnat, ale Utah nakonec přeci jen uspěl, když se po 42 vteřinách prodloužení prosadil Dylan Guenther.Vancouver rozhodl o své výhře na ledě New Jersey už v úvodních minutách, když se trefili Jake DeBrusk a Zeev Buium, v obou případech v přesilových hrách.
