Cardinals at Vikings Betting Game Preview

Now it’s time for our Cardinals at Vikings Betting game preview.

Arizona Heating Back Up

Arizona was able to defeat NOLA by 42-34 and that victory improved their record to 3-4 for the current season.

Star WR DeAndre Hopkins had the chance to make his season debut and finished the game with a total of ten catches for 103 yards.

Running back Eno Benjamin, a seventh-round pick from 2020, also experienced a great game. Benjamin finished with 92 yards for 12 rushes and a single touchdown.

And it’s important to recall that he is definitely a player that continues to improve every week.

In the meantime, when it comes to defense, the Cardinals were able to dominate the Saints for the big part of the game.

Arizona’s D-line was able to pick up Andy Dalton a total of 3 times, and that includes 2 that were returned for TDs.

But at the very same time, Arizona was getting crushed with big plays and they ended up allowing a total of 34 points.

So, needless to say, if they want to win this game, they need to focus a lot more on their defensive efforts.

Minnesota Running Away with Division

Next on this Cardinals at Vikings Betting preview, let’s talk about Minnesota.

The Vikings were on their bye during week 7, and are currently 5-1.

During their bye, Green Bay lost again and dropped to 3-4.

This means that the Vikings are now the solid leaders of the NFC North and are the favorites to take the division.

The Vikes will be playing at home this week versus the 3-4 Cardinals, followed by a matchup versus the 3-4 Commanders.

If they manage to win those two, they will be 7-1 on the season.

The Packers are playing Super Bowl favorites the Bills next week, so the Vikings’ chances of staying number one are quite solid.

Now, the D-line for the Vikings is mostly responsible for their current success.

While their offensive line is full of superstars such as Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson, the key has been the defense as it has allowed them to close games.

Out of their 5-1 record, this team is currently on a 4-game winning streak, and those four games were won by a single score.

Indeed, this is a team that is showing discipline on both sides of the field, and the Vikes are also the team in the NFL with the least penalizations.
