Los Angeles at Minnesota

Los Angeles could and should be 2-0, but the Chargers lost to Miami in the final two minutes and then lost 27-24 in overtime to Tennessee. Justin Herbert threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns, but he was sacked with a little more than two minutes left and the Chargers were forced to rely on Cameron Dicker's field goal to send it to overtime and then lose while blowing an 11-point lead. The good news is they go to Minnesota where the Vikings are 0-4 ATS their past four home games and they also could easily be 2-0 after losing two close games versus Tampa Bay and Philadelphia, but were done in by turnovers. The Vikings are 4-11 ATS their past 15 games against teams with losing records and 1-6-1 ATS overall dating to last season. The Chargers are 39-17-4 ATS their past 60 games as road underdogs, including 9-4 ATS since 2020. Minnesota leads the league with seven giveaways, six of them fumbles, and they signed Cam Akers to aid an offense that averages a paltry 34.5 rushing yards per game. Los Angeles is #5 in the NFL with 147.0 rushing yards per game and the Vikings allow 166.0 and that will be an important factor in this matchup. Take the Chargers as a Max Play.
