The Arizona D has played solidly in their last three games, and four different Cardinals managed a sack in Week 5: Budda Baker, Josh Bynes, Haason Reddick, and Chandler Jones. Tre Boston and Bene Benwikere each had an interception.

Most NFL analysts are expecting a huge Minnesota victory. The Cardinals currently have the worst offense in the NFL, and they are facing a Vikings’ D that will likely have no problem shutting them down. On the other side of the ball, Kirk Cousins and his offensive weapons will likely dominate the field. The Vikings will face a defense that allowed 349 passing yards to the 49ers’ backup signal caller, C.J. Beathard, and Cousins has 1,688 passing yards with 11 touchdowns for the season. Because of all this, by a very large majority, the expert NFL picks are with the Vikings beating the Cardinals with a current spread of -10.
