Betting expert predicts Vikings will get first win of 2023 season vs. Chargers
By Josh Yourish
In 2022, the Minnesota Vikings waited until Week 11 to lose their second game of the year. In 2023 it only took two weeks to lose two games and now the 0-2 Vikings will host the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers.
BetSided NFL betting expert Iain MacMillan likes the Vikings to finally get into the win column this week. MacMillan picks every game in his “Road to 272.”
Kirk Cousins and the Vikings are last in the NFC North and will need to get a win soon. If you agree with MacMillan and want to back Minnesota, you should do it in the FanDuel Sportsbook and take advantage of their great promo.

Betting expert for Vikings in Week 3
For the Vikings in 2023, the script has flipped. BetSided NFL betting expert Iain MacMillan finds it ironic how differently this year is going compared to their good luck last season.
“In 2022, they won plenty of games that they were completely outplayed in," MacMillan wrote. "This year, they outplayed their opponents in their first two games but lost both of them.”
Last week, the Vikings performed well on offense and actually gained 6.8 yards per play while only allowing 5.7, but were plagued by turnovers. This week could be different against the winless Chargers.
“Meanwhile, the Chargers defense might be the worst defense in the NFL, allowing 6.9 yards per play through the first two weeks," MacMillan added. "I think the Vikings high-powered offense is going to have a field day against them.”
MacMillan is taking the Vikings to win outright.
