Vikings Depth Chart Ahead of Week 8 vs. Cardinals

The Minnesota Vikings are 3.5-point favorites at home this weekend versus the Arizona Cardinals. Minnesota sits atop the NFC North, thanks to three consecutive losses by the Green Bay Packers. Arizona, at 3-4, needs a victory to tread water in the NFC’s playoff picture.

The Cardinals haven’t won a football game in Minnesota in 45 years, losing 10 consecutive away games to the Vikings since 1977.

The Vikings injury report is in marvelous shape. There’s basically nobody on the document as of October 26th.

Here’s the depth chart for Week 8:
