NFL Free Pick Minnesota Vikings @ San Diego Chargers: Maybe I’m seeing something in Minnesota that nobody else is recognizing. I see a team that greatly underperformed last season, not just because of Brett, but everywhere on the field. Defensively they were slow. They couldn’t guard receivers, rush the passer, or stop the run. They were bad. On offense, they couldn’t pass block well enough to give Brett a chance. It was bad. But I like the direction the Vikings are going in, and I really think Donovan McNabb has a bunch of wins left in him. This team is a lot better than Washington and they run a more comfortable offensive scheme for McNabb – he’s always been great in play-action situations, and he’ll have a lot of them as defenses gang up to stop one of the most impressive offensive players in football, Adrian Peterson.
The Chargers are historically slow starters, despite having a very talented team. Defensively, they aren’t all that good, and against a grind it out running team like Minnesota, that makes 9 points way too many to even consider.
Defensively, I expect Minnesota to put more pressure on opposing QBs this season, and that should have a positive effect all, especially in the secondary. I would be none surprised if San Diego goes down at home despite being the biggest favorite in Week 1.
