Dallas Cowboys vs Minnesota Vikings 2010 NFL Playoff Predictions, Picks & Odds: The Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings are set to square off in a Divisional round playoff rumble at Mall of America Field this afternoon. The two division winners, which have a combined record of 24-9, are scheduled to kickoff at 1:00pm ET on FOX. 2010 NFL Playoff Predictions, Picks & Odds at online bookmaker SPORTSBETTING.com have the Vikings listed as a -3 against the spread home favorite.
Dallas earned today's meeting with Minnesota after dispatching the Eagles 34-14 in a Wild Card meeting at Cowboys 
Stadium. It was the third time the Pokes defeathered Andy Reid's squad this season, and it was their fourth consecutive win, which matches their previous run from October 11th through November 8th.
While the Cowboys offense garners some deserved attention, their defense has been the catalyst behind their current surge. Dallas has allowed a mere 31 points (7.8 per game) and 1112 yards (278 per game) over the last four weeks and they have been particularly tough on third downs. Teams have converted a combined 10-of-44 (22.7 percent) on third down against the Cowboys during their current win streak.
It is no secret that Wade Phillips will need to coax another solid defensive effort out of his troops in order to beat the Vikings. Stopping Adrian Peterson should be priority number one because they will need a one-dimensional Brett Favre in order to have success against Minnesota's offense, especially at the Metrodome.
For Minnesota's part, it just needs to continue to do what it has done all season long at home. The Vikings have overpowered and overwhelmed most challengers, which includes playoff squads Baltimore, Green Bay, and Cincinnati, at the Metrodome, but they were nothing short of incredible in their last five home games. Minnesota averaged 34.4 points per game during that stretch while giving up a meager 9.2 per contest.
2010 NFL Playoff Betting Trend: The Vikings are 10-0 straight and 7-2-1 against the spread in their last 10 games as a home favorite with a total between 44.5 and 47.
