5 Bold Predictions: Minnesota Vikings vs. Dallas Cowboys in Week 10
By Chris Schad
Cooper will record 100 yards and a TD
Vikings fans have their fingers crossed going into Sunday’s game after hearing the news about Amari Cooper’s knee earlier this week. The Cowboys’ star wide receiver underwent an MRI on Wednesday after suffering the injury against the Giants and after missing practice on Thursday, there is a slight hope that he could miss Sunday’s game, but I’m not so sure.
Odds are the Cowboys’ are being careful with their top receiver and on a short week an extra day off could be what Cooper needs to be ready to go on Sunday.
This could spell trouble for the Vikings who are struggling on the outside. While we already mentioned Waynes’ struggles, Xavier Rhodes hasn’t done much better allowing a 121.5 passer rating this season and could draw more of Cooper if Waynes isn’t able to go on Sunday.
Throw in that Dak Prescott has been playing at a strong level this season and it’s possible we could see a big game from Cooper, Michael Gallup or even someone else on Sunday night.
