Thursday Night Football NFL betting preview

With J.J. McCarthy (ankle) out, Carson Wentz will make his fifth start of the season for the Minnesota Vikings as they travel to SoFi Stadium to take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Minnesota is coming off a 28-22 loss to the Eagles last week and are now 3-3 on the season (last in the NFC North) while the Chargers lost 38-24 to the Colts on Sunday and are now 4-3 (second in the AFC West).

Justin Herbert threw for a career-high 420 yards in the loss but the Los Angeles running game has stalled with Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Najee Harris (Achilles) injured. Now Hassan Haskins (ankle) is also out, but the Chargers are still favored by 3.5 in the latest Week 8 NFL odds from DraftKings and the over/under is 44.5 points. Get $300 in bonus bets instantly if your first bet of $5 or more wins and three months free of NBA League Pass.
