With Cowboys staggered, Vikings vie for eighth consecutive win

The Minnesota Vikings are the NFL's hottest team with seven straight wins, including a scintillating victory in arguably the best NFL game of the season.

The Vikings (8-1) find themselves listed as underdogs at home this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys (6-3) in Minneapolis.

FanDuel and DraftKings list the Cowboys as 1.5-point favorites. So does the perceived slight bother Minnesota coach Kevin O'Connell? Well, no. In fact, he admitted Wednesday that he doesn't listen to analysts on national television questioning if his team is a serious Super Bowl contender.

"I don't hear because I don't have a lot of time to take in the daily shows too much," O'Connell said.
