💰 Best Thursday Night Football parlay picks

Here are my favorite Vikings vs. Chargers picks based on the best Thursday Night Football odds for the full parlay.

🚀 Vikings +3.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Chargers have been worse against the spread in home games than any other NFL team this season. Los Angeles is 0-2-1 ATS, failing to cover the spread by an average margin of 12.2 points per game. Their outright margin in these games is minus-9.3 PPG.

Los Angeles has also struggled as a favorite, going 1-4-1 ATS in those spots. Conversely, the Vikings have covered the spread in their only road opportunity so far this season. Our Gary Pearson disagrees, backing the Chargers to win and cover in his Vikings vs. Chargers prediction.

🚀 Kimani Vidal Under 15.5 receiving yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With Hassan Haskins ruled out for this matchup, Kimani Vidal is expected to see a significant workload for the Chargers. But I'm not expecting that to necessarily turn into robust production for Vidal as a pass-catcher.

Vidal has hauled in seven of nine targets over the past two games since seeing an increase to his workload following Omarion Hampton's injury. Despite the solid volume, Vidal hasn't been efficient with these touches, totaling just 29 receiving yards (4.14 yards per reception).

The Vikings have allowed the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game to running backs (25.3) this season. Our Sean Tomlinson has Vidal as one of his first touchdown scorer predictions for TNF.

🚀 Carson Wentz Over 11.5 rushing yards (-135) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

While we don't view Carson Wentz as your typical dual-threat quarterback, he's shown a relatively consistent willingness to take off and run with the football when the circumstances dictate it. Wentz has logged multiple rushing attempts in all four of his games played this season.

Wentz has logged 12-plus rushing yards in three straight contests, scampering for 28 yards in his most recent game against Philadelphia. The Chargers have allowed 214 rushing yards to opposing QBs this season (third-most in the NFL).

BetMGM offers this line at 11.5 yards. Though DraftKings offers the SGP odds at +490 instead of +475, we’re playing this parlay at BetMGM as of publish time to gain access to the better line on Wentz’s rushing yards.
