The Arizona Cardinals will travel to take on the Minnesota Vikings in a Sunday afternoon NFL matchup at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our NFL odds series, which includes a Cardinals-Vikings prediction and pick, laid out below.

Arizona has navigated the Kyler Murray extension drama to a 3-4 record, third place in the NFC West. Now, head coach Kliff Kingsbury's name is being thrown around some open college jobs. Kingsbury made the playoffs last season but is under .500 in his fourth season at the helm.

Under new head coach Kevin O'Connell, Minnesota has gone 5-1 to lead the NFC North. After splitting their first two games, Minnesota has ripped off a four-game winning streak. With Green Bay on a downturn, Minnesota has an inside path to a division crown.
