Summary:
Minnesota started the season (5-0) but have since lost four straight games. The Vikings offense has totally fallen off averaging just 14 points per game in that stretch. Minnesota really misses their star running back Adrian Peterson who is out at least a few more weeks with injury. Minnesota is not forcing the ridiculous amount of turnovers they were early in the year and thus have lower point totals. Arizona is on a different trajectory having lost only once in their last five games. Their defense has risen to again become a top 5 unit in the NFL. I think Arizona is the more balanced team and is certainly playing better football at the moment. This should be a low-scoring game with two elite defenses going head to head and I like Arizona to squeak out a narrow road victory.
