Vikings vs. Chargers Same Game Parlay

Vikings vs. Chargers Point Spread

The underdog has outright won the last three TNF games, and the Vikings have the defense to make it a fourth. Carson Wentz has won all seven TNF games he's started, including two wins as underdog, and is 6-1 ATS. The Chargers' decimated O-line is going to have a hard time protecting Justin Herbert.

Wentz and the Vikings can score enough times against an LAC defense that's given up 27, 29 and 38 the last three weeks. Lock in the Vikings to cover the spread as the top play for TNF.

Vikings vs. Chargers Over/Under

The 42.5-point Over/Under is a fairly low total for an NFL game. That’s doubly true when you look at the trends. L.A.’s defense has allowed 31.3 ppg the last three weeks, and Vikings games have hit the Over all but one time.

That latter note is the key here. The Over hits when the Vikings are involved. This is also the lowest total for a Chargers games, but their last two contests totaled 61 and 56 points. The Over is a stealthy secondary play for TNF.

Vikings vs. Chargers Same Game Parlay

1. Vikings +3.5: We’re hoping Chargers OT Joe Alt sits one more game, hindering his team’s chances of keeping Herbert upright. Either way, the Vikings can score and at least keep it close.

2. Jordan Mason, Over 52.5 Rush Yards: The Chargers have given up at least 118 rushing yards in five straight weeks and are allowing 139.8 ypg in that span. It’s Mason’s show one more week before Aaron Jones likely gets back into the mix. He’s gained at least 52 yards in five of six games.

3. Kimani Vidal, Over 15.5 Rush Attempts: Vidal has been the RB1 in two games for L.A. He rushed 18 times in a victory and just nine times in a loss. Vikings opponents attempt to establish the run; only four other teams have more rushing attempts against them, and they’re all the bad ones.
