The Cowboys have been playing well the last month of the NFL season, but I don’t think they can travel to Minnesota and beat the Vikings in Sunday’s playoff game. The Vikings can score too many points at Mall of America Field, averaging 30+ points per game this year.

The Cowboys can put up points, as well, but I don’t think they score enough to win. Both defenses have been pretty solid, too, especially when the Cowboys went to New Orleans and handed the Saints their first loss of the season. They won’t be able to slow the Vikings this week.

With Brett Favre and the Vikings coaches having two weeks to prepare, they should beat the Cowboys by 10 or more points. I’ll say Vikings win 31-20, setting up a great NFC Championship game in New Orleans.
