The Minnesota Vikings are trying to stay in the playoff race against the NFL-best Cowboys. Here are 5 wild predictions for this week 13 matchup.

The Minnesota Vikings let the top spot in the NFC North slip away from them on Thanksgiving Day to the Detroit Lions. With 5 games remaining, this does not mean their playoff hopes are over. A win over the Dallas Cowboys would go a long way to making the playoffs for the Vikes.

The Dallas Cowboys come into week 13 with the best record in the NFL at 10-1. Not only that, but their rookie running back has the most rush yards in the NFL. The Vikings would make a strong statement by winning on Thursday Night Football to end the Cowboys 10-game winning streak.

Although the Vikings have lost 5 out of their last 6 games, Minnesota will be backed by their home crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium with the spotlight on them on Thursday Night Football.

This Thursday Night game could get very interesting very quickly. Here are my 5 wild predictions for the game between the Cowboys and the Vikings:
