Vikings-Chargers Expert Picks Week 10

The Vikings are 3-5 and no stranger to close games this season, as seven of Minnesota’s eight contests have been decided by seven points or less.

The Chargers are 5-3, and have won four games this season in contests that have been decided by six or fewer points.

Kickoff between Minnesota and Los Angeles is at 3:05 p.m. (CT) Sunday from SoFi Stadium.

Let’s see who the experts are picking to win the game:

Chargers 31, Vikings 21 — Gregg Rosenthal, NFL.com

The Vikings defense was already going to be in trouble without Danielle Hunter and Patrick Peterson against this Chargers attack. Even if Mike Zimmer can scheme up coverage looks to slow Justin Herbert, Minnesota’s coach knows his defense is overworked. Five Vikings starters played 96-98 snaps last week, a preposterous number for a unit without depth. After fighting so hard in so many close losses, this erratic Minnesota squad is overdue to simply get beaten.
