The Vikings are playing like contenders on the arm of 40 year old Brett Favre. He is playing hard and better than he has in years.
Favre is the least intercepted QB amongst starting QBs in the NFL, he has only turn the ball over three times. Last year he was throwing 3 interceptions a game.
"We know what we're doing with the pass game. We trust what we're doing with the pass game, the protection game," coach Brad Childress said. "Let's move it this way."
Favre has so many weapons at his disposal that it’s impossible to stop the Vikings and with Arizona’s 29th ranked pass defense, Favre will have a field day.
The Cardinals are running into problems late in the season. Coach Ken Whisenhunt isn’t expected to decide who will start as a QB at until just before game time. Kurt Warner and Matt Leinart split practice time with the starters again on Thursday.
"You want to make the decision now but certainly we've got to see how everything goes with Kurt," Whisenhunt said. "Even though he may feel great today, there might be a situation where something could come up.
The Cardinals are completely different team with Warner than without him. But even Warner might now be enough to beat the Vikings.
Consider these NFL betting trends: Arizona is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games and Minnesota is 10-1 SU in its last 11 games. Also if you’re betting in the game total consider the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Minnesota's last 5 games and it has gone UNDER in 6 of Arizona's last 9 games.
