Stephen Nover's Total of the Week
(NFL) Arizona vs. Minnesota, 11/20/2016 8:00 AM, Score: 24 - 30
Total: 40.00 | -111.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a low total given the firepower of the Cardinals and the matchup being played on a fast track.

Minnesota's defense isn't playing as well as it did earlier. The Vikings are allowing an average of 22.5 points during their last four games. Carson Palmer has a multitude of weapons to attack headed by David Johnson, who has put up 100 rushing/receiving yards in every game this season, future Hall of Famer and still effective Larry Fitzgerald, home run threat John Brown and a revived Michael Floyd.

Bruce Arians is an offensive guru. It's difficult to envision the Cardinals not getting their 20 points here. They average more than 22 points per game on the season and rank seventh in total yards.

The Vikings have decent receivers for Sam Bradford, who is accurate when given protection. Stefon Diggs has emerged as a sparkplug force. The Vikings also improved their field goal and extra point kicking by finally cutting Blair Walsh.

The Cardinals haven't been nearly as effective on defense when play on the road surrendering an average of 28 points a game - facing the Bills, 49ers and Panthers. The 49ers put up 21 and 20 points in their two games versus the Cardinals. The Vikings should be good for at least 20 points, too.
