The Chargers find themselves in a horrendous position entering Week 3. They have a defensive-minded coach with premier talents on that side of the ball, yet somehow they look like one of the worst units in the league. Additionally, despite their excellent start on offense, they have no wins to show for it. Now, the Chargers are desperate to get their first win.

Similarly to the Chargers, the Vikings offense has been tremendous. The combination of Justin Jefferson and rookie Jordan Addison has already proven to be a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. The problem? Like the Chargers, the Vikings defense looks both lost and soft. With a continued lack of toughness in the trenches, they are going to have some serious struggles trying to win late in games.

The Bottom Line: If you like shootouts, this is the game to watch while you are waiting for the Chiefs to come on the tv. Minnesota and Los Angeles are going to find themselves moving the ball up and down the field like they are in the Chiefs and Colts matchups of the early 2000s. Just like those matchups, however, no one has a defense. Give me the Vikings to come out ahead in this one on a late game-winning drive from Kirk Cousins during the time of day that he plays best; Noontime.

Prediction: Los Angeles Chargers: 34 Minnesota Vikings: 41
