Trends

- Minnesota has a perfect 5-0 ATS record in five meetings with Dallas since 1998.

- Dallas is 4-1 ATS against teams from the NFC North.

- Minnesota’s past five trips to the Big D have resulted in 4 overs and 1 under.

WOL Playcall: After an ATS and SU win against the Chicago Bears, where RB Adrian Peterson rushed for 224 yards and with a 5-0 record against the spread some might be inclined to wager on Minnesota, but Dallas should win this one by at least 11.

Take Dallas and the Over.
