Yeah that's what I thought. So on a neutral field the Vikings are very slight favorites. Seems about right to me. All things considered, if MJD is out, even I'd give the Vikings a slight advantage at home.

All i can say is I hope MJD is out because I think this team has been appalling against RBs and pass catching running backs.

It really is pick 'em, Vikings by 2.5 because they are home. Both teams have uncertainty with starting RB. I have to see the games before making judgments. I read the Chargers sat 9 starters yesterday so pre-season is in no way representative. Every expectation Vikings fans have about facing a bad Jacksonville team could be said by their fan base about the Vikings.
