Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season brings us a Thursday Night Football inter-conference matchup as the Minnesota Vikings travel to California to face the Los Angeles Chargers. Both teams have playoff aspirations this year and will be looking to showcase themselves to a primetime audience. Even the oddsmakers have this game fairly close, with the Chargers only receiving the typical home-field advantage boost.
