5 Bold Predictions: Minnesota Vikings vs. Dallas Cowboys in Week 10

Cousins will throw three more touchdowns

Kirk Cousins has been a lightning rod during this season and rightfully so considering when he goes, the Vikings go. Historically, a prime-time game spells disaster for Cousins as he’s gone just 6-13 in night games. Throw in the expected absence of Adam Thielen as he continues to shake off a hamstring injury and this has all the makings of a train wreck.

However, there are positive signs that could help Cousins come out with a win. AT&T Stadium is an indoor venue and Cousins has been dominant indoors, tossing 34 touchdowns to just 10 interceptions. Even more positive is that Cousins has actually put up solid stats in primetime games, chucking 35 touchdowns to 16 interceptions.

While Cousins has been up and down throughout the season, this could be a good spot for a Dallas secondary that has played well, but has only seen the likes of Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers when it comes to legitimate quarterbacks. With Dallas losing both those contests, Cousins could find Stefon Diggs for a couple of scores and get the primetime monkey off his back…at least for one night.
