Minnesota Vikings -2.5, total 44.5
San Diego Chargers 1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS
The Chargers are scoring 26 points per game and allowing 26 points per contest. The offense got a boost last week as Melvin Gordon finally looked good. He is now 9th in the league with 139 yards on 30 carries. Quarterback Philip Rivers is fourth in the league in passing yards and the Chargers have four players in double digits in catches. The problem for San Diego is a defense that is just 22nd in the league in points allowed. It could be that every week the Chargers will need Rivers and the offense to score at least 28 points to win.
Minnesota Vikings 1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS
The Vikings finally fed running back Adrian Peterson last week and AP delivered with a big game. He is now seventh in the league in rushing with 165 yards on 39 carries. He took the pressure off of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater who has completed at least 70% of his passes in six of his last seven games. The Vikings defense looked much better last week against Detroit and they are now 7th in the league in fewest points allowed.
