The Minnesota Vikings will host the San Diego Chargers, at The Metrodome, for some Week 9 NFL action.

The Minnesota Vikings (2-5) are coming off two consecutive losses, most recently a 16-23 loss to the Eagles. QB Tavaris Jackson was out last week and may be out this week. It’s up to B.Bollinger and K.Holcomb to get a win. Unforunately they couldn’t. Bollinger was 7 for 10 for 94 YDS and Holcomb was 7 for 10 for 88 YDS with 1 TD. With the Vikings starting QB out, they’re relying on their running game. Last week their rush was held to 3.6 yards per attempt. The super fast RB A.Peterson ran for 70 YDS on 20 carries. Their only TD came from WR V.Shiancoe. The Vikings are 1-2 at home.

The San Diego Chargers (4-3) have finally found their groove. In their last three wins they’ve outscored their opponents 104-27. They beat the Texans last week 35-10. QB Phillip Rivers threw an all time low 11 passes, completing 7 and getting 3 TDs. RB L.Tomlinson didn’t fair any better running a low 90 yards on the day. The big reason they won last week was their defense, which had 4 INT, 1 TD and 1 safety. The Chargers are definitely back. The Chargers are best at stopping the runs, which is perfect considering the Vikings have a hot RB. The Chargers are 1-2 on the road.

Bottom Line: The Chargers are going to be cramming the ball down the Vikings throat. The Vikings are bad at stopping the pass and they give up the most yards of any team. They are capable of stopping the rush, but they haven’t faced Thomlinson yet. The Chargers will charge on to another WIN! To bet the NFL go to BodogLife now.
