I LOVE Minnesota this weekend. Using my underlying rankings, I get them winning by 2 Touchdowns. Minnesota covers this spread against Arizona just about 80% of the time.
Arizona's best defense will be to keep Minnesota's offense off the field. The Cards average only 75 rush ypg, and this weekend they are facing easily one of the best rushing defenses in the league. Minny only allows 59.6ypg. Even through their 4 game skid, they still only give up 18.2 points per game which is third fewest in the NFC. Arizona is not the type of offense that will ruin this stat.
Factored in with the Minnesota's home field advantage, I will take the Vikings -6.0. I usually don't have such a strong opinions on games, but this feel counts for a 5 unit play. I am 3-0 this year on my "locks."

I think you are on the right side here. Arizona is the worst team in the league, but no game has as high of a chance of covering as 80%. It's probably more around 55%
Chester Taylor fumbles on ARZ's 1 yard line and then it is returned 90 yards for a touchdown. If Taylor puts this in the back of the endzone, Minnesota is up 38-20.
Very disappointed with this game, but I bounced back with Cincinatti and New Orleans.
I understand nosuzieno. I spent a great deal of time handicapping this game and I felt like it was going to pay off. That was until the football gods decided to turn against me...
