NFL Thursday game: Vikings-Cardinals preview

Tonight: Vikings at Cardinals, 8:25, NFL

Line/OU: Cardinals by 8½; 46½

Arizona, which is in line for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, has won six straight and leads the league in total offense (419.5 yards per game), points (382) and touchdowns (45). That attack faces a Minnesota defense missing three of its best players, S Harrison Smith (knee/hamstring), LB Anthony Barr (hand/groin) and DT Linval Joseph (foot), plus starting S Andrew Sendejo (knee). The Vikings, coming off a 38-7 loss to the Seahawks that was their worst at home in 31 years, are 30th in the 32-team NFL in total offense.
