The Minnesota Vikings pulled off a miraculous come from behind victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 10, while the Dallas Cowboys blew a 14-point lead against the Green Bay Packers.

The two teams will now face each other in a Week 11 showdown that will have implications on the NFC playoff picture.

Can Minnesota improve to 9-1, or will the Cowboys get back on track with a win?

Let's take a look at the latest odds.

Cowboys vs. Vikings Prediction and Pick

Many of the offensive stats between these two teams are similar. For example, the Vikings rank 16th in yards per play this season, but the Cowboys are right behind them, ranking 18th.

The difference between these two squads lies in their defense. The Cowboys defense continues to be elite, ranking sixth in opponent yards per play, 10th in third down defense, 12th in red zone defense, and first in sack percentage.

Comparatively, the Vikings defense ranks 28th, ninth, 31st, and 11th in those areas. They also rank 29th in opponent yards per pass attempt, which should give Dak Prescott a fantastic opportunity to bounce back in a big way after a disappointing game against the Packers.

Minnesota's red zone defense may just be their downfall this season. It's going to be tough to continue to win games when opponents score a touchdown on 72% of their trips to your red zone.

I'll back Dallas to bounce back with a win and hand the Vikings their second loss of the season.
