OK, I'll join the rest of the world in going Over this total. It's still likely to go higher, too.
A number of veteran Vikings defensive players are having bad seasons and now injuries and COVID have hit. Danielle Hunter and Patrick Peterson are definitely out. Hunter is Minnesota's most dominant lineman and Peterson their top cornerback.
Justin Herbert has the talent and weapons to take advantage. Discount a bad game against the Ravens and the Chargers are averaging 31.2 points in their last five games.
The Chargers' defense has some standout talent - Joey Bosa and Derwin James quickly come to mind - but they are overrated as a whole. LA has surrendered an average of 31.7 points in its last four games. That was going against the Browns, Ravens, Patriots and Eagles.
The Vikings' offense is at least the equal of those teams. Dalvin Cook is the best all-purpose back the Chargers have seen all season. Justin Jefferson the second-best wide receiver.
Kirk Cousins has been rightly criticized for being too conservative. Even a stone age coach like Mike Zimmer realizes his offense has to open up more especially with their third down passing game.
