The Minnesota Vikings are the best bad team in the league, as they’re very talented on both sides of the ball, but they continue to find ways to lose. The Los Angeles Chargers have run a little hot and cold this season, but their win last week on the road against the Eagles is encouraging. I don’t have much confidence in the Vikings anymore, especially on the road. The Chargers at home, playing better, and we’re not being asked to lay much. Give me the Chargers.
