Chargers vs. Vikings NFL betting preview

Both of these franchises are coming off losses against teams that have looked elite during the first half of the season, with the Chargers suffering a 38-24 loss to the Colts (6-1) and the Vikings losing 28-22 against the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles (5-2). The defeats dropped Los Angeles and Minnesota to 4-3 and 3-3, respectively, but the Chargers are second in the AFC West while the Vikings are last in the NFC North.

J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has missed the last four games for the Vikings and it's believed that Carson Wentz will get the nod for a fifth consecutive game on a short week. Wentz had his second 300-yard game of the season last week against the Eagles, but he's also thrown two interceptions in both of those games and Minnesota has lost both times. Meanwhile, Justin Herbert threw for a career-high 420 yards last week in the loss to the Colts.

Both teams will be hoping to find more balance offensively this week, but have battled injuries at running back. The latest Week 8 NFL odds from DraftKings list the Chargers as 3-point favorites while the over/under is 44.5 points.
