2. Dak throws for 350, no interceptions on Minny

When Dak Prescott has been on this season, he’s been downright impressive. The Cowboys signal-caller, as he’s still awaiting his monster payday from Jerry Jones, has thrown for 400 yards in two games this season (both at home, for what it’s worth) and has thrown for 2,380 yards, 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions through eight games.

The issue with Prescott in 2019, however, has been his inconsistency. You can look at a game like his Week 9 showing against the Giants and see that in full form. While he threw for 257 yards and three touchdowns, he had a bad interception right out of the gate and was almost solely dinking and dunking when he dropped back to throw, missing a number of deep passes.

Back at AT&T Stadium on Sunday night and facing a Vikings defense that gave up 275 passing yards to Matt Moore last week, Prescott is ready to be on his game. With Trae Waynes banged up and Andrew Sendejo already ruled out, Minnesota’s already inconsistent secondary is ripe for the picking and the Cowboys quarterback will do just that.

Expect another big day from Amari Cooper, who has been fantastic this season, but also look for second-year wide receiver to recapture some of his early-season form with a big game as well. As a result, Prescott will have a huge outing that nears the 400-yard mark again. For good measure, he’ll also steer clear of the turnover bug as well.
