Sporting Newsâ Vinnie Iyer picked the Vikings to defeat Arizona, 21-13, and explained: âThe 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. Minnesota gets the key sacks and turnovers to win comfortably again.â
The Vikings are favored to prevail by 3.5 points against the Cardinals. Minnesota has the leagueâs top-rated defense per DVOA through 12 weeks.
