We've got three weeks left in the 2019 Oren Burks Jersey regular season, which means it's just about now or never regarding the ' hunt for an NFC North title.With the out in front at 10-3, the Vikings have a chance to keep things close ahead of their anticipated Week 16 showdown in Minneapolis. First, however, they'll be up against a resurgent team on the road.Before we reveal why L.A., a team with nothing to lose now that it's been eliminated from playoff contention, is actually a smart bet to upset Minnesota, let's get you some details on how and when to tune in:How to watchDate:Sunday, Dec. 15 |Time: 4:05 p.m. ETLocation:Dignity Health Sports Park (Carson, California)TV:CBS|Stream:Follow:SportsLine odds:PreviewThe Vikings (9-4) have been one of the steadiest teams in the NFC, winning seven of their last nine and staying within one score on their only two lo ses since late September. Darnell Savage Jersey With ultra-efficient QB play from , a solid rushing attack led by and a defense that's flashed a dominant pa s rush, they're squarely in contention for a first-place finish, with a shot to even up the Packers before the playoffs roll around. They'll also benefit from the expected return of WR this week after relying more on and a plethora of others. He is finally expected to suit up. Minnesota isn't without its faults, though, with a secondary still suspect against the pa s and some occasionally iffy play-calling. They're good enough to make a run, Darnell Savage Jr. Jersey but they've also got a history of big-game letdowns. Speaking of letdowns, the Chargers (5-8) have excelled in that area, perhaps better than any other team in the NFL.

They've already moved on from their biggest disappointment, after all -- mi sing the playoffs yet again.PredictionThe Vikings are more well-rounded, and they should be able to put Rivers under pre sure. But Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey this is exactly the kind of game Minnesota could lose. Fresh off a half-ugly rout of a division rival, traveling to the West Coast, against an underrated AFC opponent with the Packers looming in Week 16, the Vikings are no sure bet here. If the Chargers can prioritize getting the ball Jimmy Graham Jersey out quick, in fact, perhaps letting Ekeler be the workhorse for a second straight week, they shouldn't have much trouble breaking some plays against this secondary and forcing Minnesota into a wake-up call for Green Bay a week later.Pick:Chargers 27, Vikings 24 Check out CBSSports.com on this game and the, including from Pete Prisco and Will Brinson.
