Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings were unable to record their first win in Week 3, falling to the Los Angeles Chargers 28-24. It was close, and the Vikings had their chances, but ultimately came up short. Kirk Cousins threw for 367 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Justin Jefferson had 7 catches for 149 yards and a score. Alexander Mattison rushed for 93 yards on 20 carries, and the Vikings tallied 475 total yards of offense while giving up 475 total yards to the Chargers. They were led in defense by Justin Jefferson, who spoke about the emotional feeling of losses. Offensively, the Vikings are in the top 2 in passing yards (339.7), but a low 31st in rushing yards (66.3). Defensively they are allowing 261.7 passing yards (25th) and 120.7 rushing yards (19th). The Vikings have only managed 6 sacks, 12 quarterback hits, 10 TFL's, and have allowed a QB rating of 116.4. Overall, Minnesota is ranked 16th in power and 18th in offense, allowing an average of 22.50 points per game.

Carolina Panthers Analysis

The Carolina Panthers are coming off a home defeat against the Seattle Seahawks, having failed to cover a 4.5-point spread. The Panthers rushed just 14 times for a paltry 44 yards and their coach, Frank Reich said, "You don't come into Seattle and throw 58 times and win very many games. That was not the formula we wanted. The run game was nonexistent." Andy Dalton was under center, throwing for 361 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while Adam Thielen had 11 receptions for 145 yards and a TD, and DJ Chark added four catches for 86 yards and a TD. The Panthers are currently ranked #21 overall and are scoring 18.0 points per game (24th in the NFL) on 200.0 passing yards (22nd) and 99.3 rushing yards (18th). On the defense side, they are surrendering 27.0 points per contest (25th) on 192.3 passing yards (9th) and 136.7 rushing yards (27th). They have registered ten sacks and 19 quarterback hits thus far while allowing an 84.8 rating to the opposing signal-callers. Overall in the last 3 matchups against Minnesota, the Panthers went 1-2 (2-1 ATS).

Panthers' Quarterback Situation: Bryce Young to Participate in Week 4, but Andy Dalton a Better Choice to Compete against Vikings

Bryce Young fully participated in Wednesday's practice and is expected to be available for Week 4. However, Andy Dalton appears to be the better choice for the Panthers for the time being, having thrown for 299 yards and a few touchdowns and interceptions thus far. If the Panthers want to compete against the Vikings who have been relatively poor defensively, they need to prioritize establishing their running game. Carolina have the weapons to limit the Vikings' passing attack, so the Panthers are the underdogs to bet on along with the points; they are 4-1-1 ATS when playing at home, and 4-1 ATS when facing the NFC North. On the other hand, the Vikings are 1-7-1 ATS in their past nine games overall and 4-7-2 ATS in their previous 13 away matches.
