5 Bold Predictions: Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Chargers – Week 10

With the season on the brink, can the Minnesota Vikings score a victory over the Los Angeles Chargers?

If the Minnesota Vikings feel like they’ve been here before, it’s because they have. Every week, the Vikings go into a game where they are a heavy underdog. Just when it looks like they have enough to squeeze out a win, the same things keep happening to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The same checkdowns. The same offense. The same clock management. The same postgame comments. It’s literally the same thing.

But like the games before it, the Vikings will have another chance to break the cycle. This time, they’ll head to the West Coast where they’ll face the 5-3 Los Angeles Chargers.

After years of being the AFC version of the Vikings, the Chargers seem to have broken through thanks to new head coach Brandon Staley. It’s almost like the Vikings could be staring at their future as the new voice has helped them win close games and transformed his team into legitimate contenders in a wide-open playoff field.

Although sweeping changes could be coming, the Vikings have to focus on the task at hand. That means five bold predictions of what could happen at SoFi Stadium on Sunday and whether the Vikings can come away with a victory.
