The Minnesota Vikings' loss to the lowly Dallas Cowboys have put their playoff hopes on life support. The Vikings are now 4-6 and two games behind Arizona for the seventh playoff spot in the NFC.

Minnesota will host the struggling Dallas Cowboys at US Bank Stadium Sunday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 3:25 on WJON.

The Cowboys lead the NFL in attendance this season with an average of 25,750 fans per game. Jacksonville, Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Houston, Miami and Tennessee have all averaged over 10,000 fans per game.

This week on "Ovie and The Franchise," Dave and Jay break down the benefits and possible drawbacks of switching the Saints' affiliation from independent to affiliated baseball, Dalvin Cook's beast mode running the last two weeks, whether college football should even be playing and when (if?) the NHL will ever come back.

The Vikings will take on the Bears Monday night in Chicago. The game can be heard on AM 1240 and FM 95.3 WJON.

We are halfway through the NFL season and while some teams are separating themselves as the cream of the crop, most teams are mired in a casserole of mediocrity.

The Minnesota Vikings are 2-5 on the season after beating the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday. The Vikings' schedule gets much easier moving forward, and the team actually has a path to the playoffs.

This week, Alex, Lee and Dave break down the matchups from the good (Pittsburgh vs Baltimore, Chicago vs New Orleans), the bad (Chargers vs Broncos, Cowboys vs Eagles) and the ugly (Jets at Kansas City? Really?).

The trade may just be the first of many made by the team over the next two weeks in advance of the NFL's trade deadline, which is November 3rd.

We are back! After an unplanned week off, Dave and Jay are back with another edition of "Ovie and the Franchise."
