Cowboys open as big favorites over the Vikings for Week 15

The Cowboys are favored to bounce back with a win next week.

After the Dallas Cowboys recent loss to the Detroit Lions, 44-30, it’s hard to know just how pumped up Cowboys fans will be for Week 15. A lot of time was spent talking about how Dallas basically had to win out to make the playoffs, but that if they did win out they had a decent chance. That’s gone now. The Cowboys didn’t win out.

Instead, they lost and now sit at 6-6-1 and way down the pecking order in the NFC. The playoffs might not be in the cards for the team, but they still ahve to finish out the season. And that means hosting the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15 of the season.

Right now, the Cowboys are 6.5-point favorites according to FanDuel. They always paly better at home, and will probably want to prove something to themselves after the disappointment of Thursday night. Until they are officially eliminated from playoff contention, the team will battle to win.

Are they worthy of being 6.5-point favorites? Would you trust them giving those points?
