Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Chargers
TV: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS
Records: Vikings 9-4, Chargers 5-8
Line: Vikings by 2½
Satellite radio: Vikings feed on Sirius 135 (streaming 819), Chargers feed on Sirius 121 (streaming 816)
Vikings’ keys: On the offensive side of the ball, Minnesota needs to ride the hot hand with RB Dalvin Cook. Los Angeles’ run defense has been better in recent weeks, but it still is susceptible to giving up big plays on the ground.
Chargers’ keys: The offensive line needs to be at its best against a fearsome Minnesota pass rush. If it can do so, it should be enough for QB Philip Rivers, who’s coming off a strong game.
Who wins? The Vikings are fighting for their division. That urgency should make the difference. Vikings 27, Chargers 17
