Carson Palmer and the underperforming Arizona Cardinals (4-4-1 SU, 3-6 ATS) visit Sam Bradford and the Minnesota Vikings (5-4 SU and ATS) in week 11 in a game that kicks off at 1 PM ET on FOX. It’s a coin flip on the NFL odds board; this game is a pick ’em at press time with a total of 40.5, the lowest total for Week 11 of the regular season.
The Cardinals have had an up and down year and the Vikings are on a four-game losing streak (0-4 straight up and ATS over that span), but the playoffs are still possible for both teams. To do so, both need to overcome major issues because protecting the QB is a big problem for both teams.
Minnesota’s offensive line is in tatters and tackle Jake Long tore his Achilles in last week’s 26-20 loss to Washington (–2 at home). Arizona hasn’t fared much better up front. Left tackle Jared Veldheer is on injured reserve with a torn triceps and Right guard Evan Mathis is out for the season with an ankle injury. The result of this – Palmer is second in the NFL with 26 sacks and Bradford has been sacked 24 times.
