Pioneer Press staffers who cover the Vikings lend their best guesses at predicting Sunday’s game in Dallas against the Cowboys:

Dane Mizutani

Cowboys 34, Vikings 23: Dak Prescott is the exact type of quarterback that has had success against Brian Flores in the past. J.J. McCarthy won’t be able to hang with Prescott in the shootout.

Charley Walters

Cowboys 31, Vikings 21: Dallas QB Dak Prescott welcomes the Sunday Night national spotlight. The Vikings aren’t ready for it.

John Shipley

Cowboys 24, Vikings 23: Big picture, a Dallas team playing at home with Dak Prescott and playoff dreams seems like an easy pick, but the Vikings showed they still have a heart, if not much of a pulse, last week.

Jace Frederick

Cowboys 21, Vikings 14: If Brian Flores quiets the high-octane Cowboys on national television, does he become the next head coach of the Bengals this offseason?
