5 bold predictions for Vikings against Cardinals

1. Score: 31-14 Arizona

Kyler Murray’s versatility will be too much for the Vikings to overcome. Despite a couple of impressive runs from Dalvin Cook, the Minnesota Vikings will fall to the Arizona Cardinals and head into Week 3 with a winless 0-2 start.

The Cardinals won’t give Minnesota much hope throughout the game. Their offense will wear down Zimmer’s defense quickly, even if Minnesota can rely on Peterson to be on his game. Through the air and on the ground, it will be a dominant offensive performance.

Offensively, it won’t be much prettier for the Vikings. Arizona will allow a few scores from Cook, but they’ll come when it is too late for Minnesota to make a comeback. The talent of Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen will be wasted as Cousins panics under pressure and Zimmer gives him no support.
