The Chargers are 1-point favorites over the Vikings in Week 3 of the 2023 regular season, which is a pick’em, meaning that it’s deemed a complete toss-up. The over/under is 54 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook.
That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 54 points.
My score prediction for the game is a 31-27 win for the Vikings, with a combined total of 58 points. So if I were putting money behind my prediction, I’d bet the over.
As for game picks, analysts are leaning toward Kevin O’Connell’s Vikings in this one.
