Our best Vikings vs Chargers SGP for Week 8

The Minnesota Vikings need to find a way to string together some wins, and they've got a great opportunity to start by taking on a Los Angeles Chargers team that is giving up boatloads of points. The Chargers have given up at least 27 points in three straight games, and Carson Wentz could make them pay. 

Reaching the 15-point mark won't be a sweat for either team. The Vikings' path to victory will come through the air against a struggling pass defense, and Wentz is averaging an impressive 299.6 passing yards per game over his last three. Meanwhile, the Vikings' pass rush, which ranks second in the NFL in pressure rate, should get enough stops to keep the Vikings ahead.
