Summary:
Minnesota will be without star running back Adrian Peterson who tore his meniscus in the victory over Green Bay. Still Minnesota has one of the five best defenses in the NFL so I think this will be a close game. Newly acquired quarterback Sam Bradford was really sharp for the Vikings last week. Carolina will look to ground and pound against a tough Minnesota defense. I think this will be a low-scoring affair and I like Carolina by a field goal.
