MINTY BETS: Time for some Sunday Night Football as the Minnesota Vikings host the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are 2 point favorites and the total is 55. I'm Minty Bets, joined by Jared Quay and Pam Maldonado. And we are here to give you our favorite bets for this game. And we're going to kick things off to the Cowboys superfan, Jared Quay. So what do you have for us, Jared?

JARED QUAY: That's a unique title. I don't know if I'm a Cowboys superfan. But Jerry Jones, you winning me some of my money back. This team is undefeated against the spread. Both these teams are going coming off a bye. And I just think these Cowboys are rolling on offense so much that you really expecting the Vikings to keep up.

And I don't know if you know, but there's this thing that Matt [INAUDIBLE], one of our producer, says, is you don't bet on Kirk Cousins in primetime. He always seems to have a bad game there. Meanwhile, I mean, I'm just going to keep rolling with it. Hopefully, Diggs can get a pick 6. Hopefully-- and Dak's been playing at an MVP level. Obviously, comeback player of the year if anything.

They're running the ball better. I really think if the Cowboys can, after a bye, just have enough defense to slow down Dalvin Cook, I think two points is just not enough. So give me them Cowboys to stay undefeated against the spread.

MINTY BETS: Hmm, that looks good indeed. Pam, what do you have for us?

PAM MALDONADO: Money is coming in on the Vikings. Call me square. I'm rolling with the better offense. I'm rolling with Jared. Full agreement. Cowboys moneyline minus 120. You're getting it at a discounted price because of all the love for Kirk Cousins at home.

But the Vikings are seventh worst in rushing defense allowing just under 5 yards per carry. While the Cowboys running backs? Zeke Elliott is rushing for over 5 yards per carry and Tony Pollard is rushing for 6.

Now the Cowboys have a better redzone offense. Top nine in redzone scores. And the Vikings-- they do have the better redzone defense. But I trust the better quarterback in Dak Prescott.

I trust the Cowboys' offense who has four different players with at least three touchdown scores or more. And the Vikings, they kind of are really dependent on just a couple of key players. I like Dak Prescott and the boys. Give me the moneyline at a discounted rate.

MINTY BETS: Ooh, OK. Well, I don't want to pick a side here. Because I know once I bet on the Cowboys, they're going to lose. So, just for you guys, I'm actually going to take the over here.

Now Dallas leads the league in points scored. But they're allowing their opponents to score an average of 24 points per game. Now I know the Vikings aren't historically great in primetime, but their offense does earn a lot of yardage. So I want to think this will be a shootout. So I'm going with the over even though it's set at 55.
