Writer’s Pick for the Cardinals vs Vikings Game starting Sunday’s Round of Action

Betting on the Arizona Cardinals Pick

Arizona enters this game at 6-5, coming off a disappointing 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Cardinals’ offense, led by quarterback Kyler Murray, struggled to find rhythm against Seattle, but Murray has been a bright spot overall this season with 2,343 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and 380 rushing yards.

Running back James Conner has been a reliable option on the ground, while tight end Trey McBride has emerged as a top target in the passing game.

The Cardinals’ defense has been solid but not spectacular, allowing 21.5 points per game.

To compete with Minnesota, they will need to generate pressure on Sam Darnold and contain playmakers like Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones.

With the NFC West race wide open, a win here would be pivotal for Arizona’s playoff aspirations.

Betting on the Minnesota Vikings Pick

The Vikings have been one of the most consistent teams in the NFC this season, with a 9-2 record.

Quarterback Sam Darnold has been successful in his first season with Minnesota, throwing for 2,717 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Justin Jefferson continues to be a dominant WR in the passing game, while Aaron Jones has provided balance with over 1,000 yards from scrimmage.

Defensively, the Vikings are among the league’s best, allowing just 17.9 points per game and leading the NFL in interceptions.

Their ability to force turnovers and limit opposing rushing attacks has been key to their success.

However, Minnesota has shown some vulnerability in close games, as evidenced by their overtime win against the Bears last week.

They’ll look to tighten up against a dangerous Cardinals team.

Playoff Implications

This game has significant playoff implications for both teams.

The Vikings are currently second in the NFC North and are competing with the Detroit Lions for the division crown.

A win here would keep them in striking distance of the top seed in the NFC.

For the Cardinals, a victory is crucial to stay competitive in the crowded NFC West, where all four teams remain in contention.

A loss could severely hamper Arizona’s chances of making the postseason, making this a must-win game for the visitors.

Cardinals vs. Vikings Pick & Prediction

The Vikings come into this matchup with momentum and a solid home record.

Their balanced offense, led by Darnold and Jefferson, should pose significant challenges for Arizona’s defense.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals will rely on Murray’s dual-threat ability to keep them competitive.

Arizona’s inconsistency, particularly on offense, and their struggles against elite defenses may tilt the game in Minnesota’s favor.

Expect the Vikings to control the game with their efficient offense and opportunistic defense.

While the Cardinals have the talent to make this close, Minnesota’s home-field advantage and overall consistency give them the edge.

NFL Week 8: Cardinals vs Vikings Best Bet

Previous Betting News

Every season, we have come to expect that a dark horse team or two will emerge as a potential Super Bowl candidate. As we approach the midway point of the season, there are a few teams that fall into that category, with the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants at the top of that heap. I think it’s fair to suggest that the Minnesota Vikings should be in that category, too. Most of us had the Packers penciled in as the favorites to win the NFC North, but Rodgers and company have struggled to this point, allowing the Vikings to take control of the division. That’s certainly great, but we also all know that the standings at the midway point of the season are not always indicative of how things will end up at the end of the regular season. The Viking will look to continue rolling this weekend at home to the Cardinals. Minnesota is a 3 ½ point home favorite, with the point total set at 49.

Why bet on the Arizona Cardinals

It is not ideal to be sitting a game below .500 at this stage of the season, but if there is a positive to be taken from it, it’s that things are ridiculously tight in the NFC West, where the division leader is sitting at 4-3. Still, the Cardinals need to take care of their end of the business instead of sitting back and hoping that the teams above them will falter coming down the stretch. They did get a much-needed win over the Saints last weekend, winning 43-24 in what was arguably their best showing of the season. They are going to need more of the same if they are to win on the road in Minnesota. This is a team that they have not fared well against, going just 4-12 SU in their last 6 meetings. They are also 0-4-2 ATS in their last 6 meetings with the Vikings. Overall, the UNDER has hit in 5 of their last 6 road games.

Why bet on the Minnesota Vikings

We said that the Vikings are a bit of a dark horse this season, but in fairness, the feeling was that if any team was going to seriously challenge the Packers in the North this season, it was always going to be Minnesota. Still, a 5-1 start is perhaps better than most people expected, with the Vikings consistently finding a way to get the job done in close games. They come into this weekend having won 4 in a row and knowing that they have won each of their last 10 home meetings with the Arizona Cardinals, which is more than convincing enough to take the Vikings to win this weekend. If there is a knock on this team, at least from a betting standpoint, it’s that they’ve only covered once in the last 5. The OVER has hit in 6 of their last 7 home games.

Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction

It seems a bit risky to take the Vikings to cover, especially since they have had a tough time doing that this season. That said, I think the spread is small enough to be worth taking a shot on, but if you want to play it safe, I would take Minnesota SU.
