The Dallas Cowboys take on the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football in a game where the Cowboys are listed as a 3.5-point road favorite in a projected low-scoring game. Vegas has given this game a 43.5 point over/under.

The Vikings are losers of five of their last six games and over that stretch Sam Bradford has been sacked 18 times. Although Bradford only has three picks on the year, two of those have come within the past three weeks.

The Vikings offense has been hard to watch this year. They're averaging only 294.9 yards per game, which is worst in the league, and they rank 22nd in our schedule-adjusted metrics.

Over their last six games specifically, the Vikings are averaging a paltry 16.5 points per game. Four of the past six defenses to play against Bradford and company have finished the week with a top-12 defensive performance.

The Cowboys aren't an exciting streaming option -- the defense ranks 23rd, per our schedule-adjusted metrics -- but in a week with few strong options, betting against Bradford isn't a bad idea.
