The set-up: Arizona comes in off a 28-18 divisional road win over San Francisco and I think it'll stumble in this difficult venue. Minnesota enters off a much-needed and confidence building 23-21 over Philadelphia and I look for it carry that momentum over here.

The teams: Despite last weeks victory the Cardinals are still averaging only 13 PPG. The defense has been decent in allowing 22.4. Rookie QB Josh Rosen so far has 386 passing yards and a 2/1 TD/INT.

The Vikes are averaging 22.6 PPG and they're allowing 26.5. QB Kirk Cousins had 301 yards and a TD in last week's victory and he so far has 1,688 passing yards, along with an 11/2 TD/INT.

The pick: The Vikes' defense looked a lot better last week, giving up just two TD passes. Take it for what you will as well, but Minnesota is 17-6 ATS in its last 23 home games against teams with losing road records and 8-2 ATS in its last ten games after posting 250 passing yards in its previous game, while Arizona is only 3-12-1 ATS in its last 16 following a SU victory. I'm banking on a blowout from start to finish. Lay the points.
