And, yes, it has to do with the playing status of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. If the oddsmakers are right and Prescott sits, the Cowboys starting QB will be none other than Cooper Rush.

Yep, obscure-as-they-come Cooper Rush. With the Vikings forced to start Cam Dantzler at cornerback due to Patrick Peterson’s injury, even Rush might put up huge numbers.

Gelfand first began doing football picks more than a quarter of a century ago for the KQ Morning Show, and has continued entertaining listeners with his picks on The BS Show and now Purple PTSD as Mike Gelfand Football Picks.

Gelfand can be heard Wednesdays on The BS Show and Thursdays on the Tom Barnard Family Podcast.
