Chargers vs. Vikings prediction, odds and picks - November 14, 2021 | NFL Week 10

The Minnesota Vikings will travel to the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in what promises to be the most entertaining game in Week 10.

Both teams are unpredictable and have offenses that could go off and put up 40 points on the board or flame out spectacularly and deliver a dud performance.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was in the NFL MVP race for the initial part of the season. But the team's inconsistency and questionable decision-making see him trail other quarterbacks by quite some distance now. The same can be said of Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is having a spectacular individual season statistically but has failed to deliver in clutch moments.

If both teams play to their potential, expect a back-and-forth, high-scoring thriller worthy of a Hollywood set.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Minnesota Vikings betting picks

Kirk Cousins and Justin Herbert are a joy to watch when they are on song. Both quarterbacks are accurate, can throw home run balls and are excellent passers in general. Neither defense is quite up to the mark, so expect both quarterbacks to go off for over 275 yards.

53.5 may seem like a steep over/under, but it isn't, given how potent both of the offense and atrocious both defenses can be. Bet the over and enjoy the show on Sunday.
