The Arizona Cardinals (1-3) are small road underdogs to the Minnesota Vikings (0-4) on Sunday, and you’ll want to choose the place where you bet on this 1:00 PM ET NFL game very carefully to get the most value.
Those thinking that the Vikings can win by more than a field goal will want to go to the Wynn where they can lock in the -2.5, while bettors preferring the Cardinals as underdogs can find a +3 at the MGM Mirage.
Sunday’s Cardinals vs. Vikings total has been bet up a bit since debuting at 43, and this is another line that you’ll want to shop around for.
The MGM Mirage is lowest at 44.5 with most other Las Vegas locales at 45, while online bettors can find the total as high as 45.5.
The Cardinals and Vikings met up last season with the Vikings taking home a 27-24 overtime victory as 7-point favorites.
Arizona was the home team in 2009 and won 30-17 as 3.5-point underdogs.
The over has been a winner in 3 of the last 4 between these teams, while the underdog has covered the point spread in all 5 head-to-head meetings since 2003 while winning outright in 3.
Minnesota has come close to winning on numerous occasions and will try to finally get one in the correct column here.
The Vikings lost 17-24 at the San Diego Chargers to start the year before falling 20-24 in a game they should have won against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Next up was a 23-26 overtime loss against the Detroit Lions, following most recently by a 17-22 failure at the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Vikings have covered the point spread just once all season.
Arizona won a 28-21 opener against the Carolina Panthers but has lost 3 straight since then. The Washington Redskins won 22-21, while Seattle grabbed a 13-10 victory.
The Cardinals returned home after those 2 road games to fall just short in a 27-31 loss against the New York Giants most recently.
