Arizona<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cardinals are lucky to be in the NFC West where their struggles haven\u2019t completely eliminated them from a return to the playoffs.\u00a0 As it stands they are only a game out of first despite a complete mess at QB which has turned what was one of the most potent offenses in the league the last few season into anything but.\u00a0 The Cardinals are coming into Sunday off of back to back losses and need to right the ship.<\/p>\n

Arizona is the second worst offensive football team in the league averaging only 260 yards of offense per game.\u00a0 A lot of that blame falls on the QB as the team has gone back and forth with Derek Anderson, but it doesn\u2019t help that this team can\u2019t run the ball either.\u00a0 Worst of all they have not been able to utilize their best weapon WR Larry Fitzgerald.\u00a0 At his current pace this will be his least productive season since his rookie year.\u00a0 They just can\u2019t seem to get him the ball where he can really make plays.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals and the Vikings have met each of the last two seasons, splitting the games which were both in Arizona.\u00a0 This year the Cardinals travel North looking for just their second road victory of the season.\u00a0 The Cardinals are a hard team to handicap as they still have enough weapons to score the ball at a better than average level.\u00a0 Their defense has also been inconsistent with three games limiting opponents to 20 or less points and three where they have given up 30 or more. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where do you begin when discussing the Vikings.\u00a0 Their record is surprising, Brett Favre has been horrible and they recently waived WR Randy Moss after having him on the team for a heartbeat.\u00a0 Needless to say this season has not gone according to plan.\u00a0 If any team wanted to press the reset button it would be these guys, right?\u00a0 Unfortunately they can\u2019t do that but if they can figure out a winning formula they still have a small chance in a not so great NFC.<\/p>\n

As this is being written Brett Favre is listed as probable on the injury list for the Sunday.\u00a0 While his starting the game may be probable the odds of him performing up to his standards are much worse.\u00a0 Last week he threw no touchdowns with one interception, making it the fourth time in seven games this season he has been in the negative there.\u00a0 I am not sure why Brad Childress still thinks putting in Tavaris Jackson would be such a bad option.\u00a0 My guess is that he doesn\u2019t have the authority to do so.<\/p>\n

The Vikings have their backs against the wall this week.\u00a0 If they want to remain in the playoff picture they absolutely have to win.\u00a0 Their defense has been playing pretty well and as indicated earlier the Cardinals offense is a shell of what it has been in the past.\u00a0 Also, Arizona is 29th in rush defense.\u00a0 If you have the best RB in the league and were playing a team like that you shouldn\u2019t even need to throw more than 15 times.\u00a0 How much damage could Jackson really do with a game plan like that.<\/p>\n

The Pick:<\/strong> The Vikings should win but I don\u2019t like that spread.\u00a0 That extra point makes me want to pack the Cardinals against a Minny team that has disappointed all season long.<\/p>\n
