Rolling Cardinals ready for battered Vikings

The Cardinals were 2-3 ATS in the first five such games according to the OddsShark NFL Database. The Cardinals are, without a doubt, a juggernaut in the NFC that has proven they can pile on the points and come out on top week-in and week-out. The NFC West-leading Cardinals await.

“The Cardinals games have been a very busy event for us all season long”, said Sgt. David Vidaure with the Glendale Police Department.

It’s a hard matchup for the Vikings.

Fitzgerald has no timetable for the rest of his career but said he must remain effective and productive to keep playing.

“The one thing we have to [take care of] is recovering with our bodies-we’ve got to hit it ASAP”, Brian Robison told KFAN radio after the game. “We’re not the only team that has guys hurt”. Arizona defensive line coach Brentson Buckner, who conducted the workout on a field between an orchard and a graveyard near Haines City, Florida – where Gunter went to high school – was so impressed with Gunter that the Cardinals moved up in the fourth round of the draft to select him. The Arizona Cardinals can beat you multiple ways. The Vikings, though depleted by injury in the Seahawks game, had no answer for a Seattle team that ran roughshod over them.

The running game played much better than anyone could have imagined against the Rams.

Sometimes trends are telling: the Seahawks had struggled early in the season and picked it up recently on offense-scoring more 30 points in the three previous games and then 35 against Minnesota.

What does last year have to do with this year?

The opportunity to play for the Cardinals is something Gunter hasn’t let pass by.

Las Vegas is whipping up a batch of blowout for Thursday night’s game between the Vikings and Cardinals in Arizona, making the Cardinals a 7.5-point favorite. I know if I have someone playing, even in the shittiest of games, I AT LEAST gamecast it while doing something way more interesting…no, I’m kidding I definitely watch, because my life revolves around football. Unfortunately, the defense has allowed an average of only 8 ppg.

He didn’t go into specifics, just saying the Vikings were outcoached “in so many different areas”. They can get behind the defense easier.

Now, beaten up and missing three of their best defensive players, the Vikings must meet one of the hottest teams in the NFL. The Vikings also placed starting safety Antone Exum Jr. on IR. These four also happen to be Minnesota’s top tacklers.

These two teams combined for one of the most memorable Super Bowls for me in the last couple of decades.

So far this season, the Cardinals have proven to be a mature team with a businesslike approach. And the shorthanded Vikings, who already have ruled out three of their best defenders because of injuries, might be powerless to stop them.

“When the players don’t play well, or a guy throws an interception, or a guy fumbles, or a guy gives up a sack, or the defense doesn’t play well, it’s so quick for people to say, ‘Oh, the defense didn’t play well, ‘ or ‘This guy threw an interception at a critical time, ‘ ” Peterson said. They’re clicking on all cylinders in both the passing game and the run game.

If the Vikings get healthy on defense by Thursday (Smith, Joseph and Barr might make the trip, but it is doubtful if they all will play and be effective), the defense has a chance to make it a game.
