and explained: “The Cardinals are much better at running the ball and playing defense at home for Jonathan Gannon. The Vikings have become red-hot offensively again, and they will be ready to go after Kyler Murray in what becomes a one-dimensional attack.

The Vikings are favored to prevail by 3.5 points against the Cardinals. Minnesota has the league’s top-rated defense per DVOA through 12 weeks.
