Week 14:
December 10th
University of Phoenix Stadium- Minnesota Vikings at Arizona Cardinals
If the offseason turned out the way Cardinals fans wanted it to this game would have been Adrian Peterson verse his former team in the Minnesota Vikings, but it is not going to happen. This game will be on National TV as it is a Thursday Night game.
The Arizona Cardinals will have to stick to the game plan to get the win, that means containing Peterson and going to work on offense. Larry Fitzgerald, who grew up as a Vikings ball boy, would love to get a win at home against the Vikings.
The Cardinals have lost 3 straight games against the Vikings in 2010, 2011, and 2012, but those were all in Minnesota. The Vikings team has yet to see the Red Sea, and the last time the Vikings played in Arizona was in 2009.
For the Vikings they need to be able to hold the Cardinals’ offense at bay and score points on offense. Teddy Bridgewater is the future of the Vikings and needs to improve in his sophomore season, so the Cardinals defense needs to be ready for a pass attack, combined with a great running game.
If the Cardinals can stop Peterson in the slightest and can score points on offense, they should be able to come out with the win.
Cardinals 27, Vikings 21.
