Cardinals vs. Vikings ultimate Week 8 preview

The 3-4 Arizona Cardinals and 5-1 Minnesota Vikings will kickoff at 1 p.m. ET in Minnesota this Sunday.

The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in a potentially season-defining game in Week 8. They have the opportunity to get back to .500 with a win against a 5-1 Minnesota Vikings team.

The NFC West is wide open, with the 4-3 Seattle Seahawks currently in first place. They’ll be playing the 6-1 New York Giants, so there’s certainly an opportunity to get even with them record-wise.

If the Cardinals win this game, they are in a great position to make the playoffs in a weak NFC conference. It could also have implications on whether or not they make a trade for an impact player the following Monday, which is the day before the deadline.

Let’s dive into what should be an exciting matchup.
