The Arizona Cardinals are set to host the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football in NFL Week 14 action. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Carson Palmer Continues Playing Like an NFL MVP Candidate
Coming into the 2015 NFL season, Carson Palmer was expected to be a good but not great quarterback for the Cardinals. He has looked like an MVP candidate so far this season, completing 63.9 percent of his passes for 3,693 yards, 29 touchdowns and nine interceptions. That will continue this week against the Vikings and he will put them in a good position to get a big win.
2. Adrian Peterson Breaks Off Another 125+ Yard, Two Touchdown Game
Minnesota's Adrian Peterson has been one of the bigger surprises this season. He has worked his way back into being labeled the NFL's best running back and is a legitimate MVP candidate as well. Peterson will break off yet another 125-yard and two touchdown game against a strong Arizona defense, which is the only way that the Vikings will be able to pull out a win.
3. Arizona's Defense Sacks Teddy Bridgewater at Least Four Times
Due to the star-studded secondary that the Cardinals have, the defense will be able to put a lot of pressure on Teddy Bridgewater. They will sack Bridgewater at least four times throughout the course of teh game. Minnesota and Arizona are fairly evenly matched in most areas, but the pass rush favors the Cardinals.
4. Teddy Bridgewater Will Throw at Least Three Interceptions
After talking about the Cardinals' defense, there is no question that Bridgewater will throw at least three interceptions. He is going to have a lot of pressure on his shoulders and that will force him to make bad decisions. Bridgewater could play a perfect game and lead his team to a win, but our money is on him throwing at least three interceptions.
5. Arizona Comes Away with Yet Another Victory
Palmer and the Cardinals' offense is going to do more than enough to pull out a win over the Vikings. Minnesota is a good football team, but this is a terrible matchup for them. They are going to put up a fight, but the Cardinals are going to come away with yet another victory.
