At 1:00pm ET, my NFC Game Of The Year is on Minnesota. This line could and should be higher. Minnesota is better on both sides of the ball and is playing at home. The Vikings got up against the Bears last week and let the lead slip away. They found a way to win their 4th straight and are now 9-2 on the season. Arizona went the other way, losing 16-6 to Seattle. Those teams are now tied atop the NFC West, each with 6-5 records. QB Murray got hurt in the loss at Seattle. He's expected back but might not be quite right and he may be susceptible to getting hurt again. He's obviously very important for Arizona but they're in trouble even with him. The Vikings have outscored opposing teams by 77 points this season. Arizona has outscored teams by just 8 points. Even assuming Murray and the Arizona offense is fine, the Cardinal secondary is going to struggle against a dangerous Viking attack. The Cardinals are 4-2 at home but 2-3 on the road. All 3 road losses came by 6 or more points. Off the game on the West Coast at Seattle in the Pacific Northwest, they now play an early game, their 2nd straight on the road. When they played 2 straight road games earlier, they lost the 2nd won 34-13. The Vikings can win anywhere. Their only home loss came by 2 points to the 10-1 Lions. All 4 home wins came by at least 6 points. The Vikings need to keep winning and they will. Lay the points.
