1. CeeDee Lamb will go over 200 yards receiving

The Vikings aren’t the only team who enters this game with a dynamic duo at wide receiver. The Cowboys also sport two stars on the outside in the form of Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb.

Cooper is still nominally considered to be the team’s No. 1 wideout, but Lamb is quickly closing the gap. He’s the guy Minnesota should be focused on heading into Sunday night.

The good news for Cowboys fans is that Lamb should be the guy getting more favorable matchups against Minnesota’s No. 2 or 3 cornerbacks. He’s got too much speed for that kind of player to handle. He’s got a great chance to torch the Vikings’ secondary for multiple big plays.

Look for Lamb to get out of the gates early before Zimmer and his defensive staff alters their coverage scheme to focus on him. He could throw up 150+ receiving yards in the first half if he scores a long touchdown. The former Oklahoma standout will be the biggest offensive reason why Dallas prevails in a close shootout on Sunday Night Football.
