Thursday Night Football Week 8 gives us a clash of two teams who could really use this win. The Minnesota Vikings are on the road as they travel to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers. 
Here are my plays for Thursday Night Football Week 8.
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.
Straights
If I cannot get the Chargers at -3 points or lower, then I am probably not gonna take any straights in this game. For whatever reason the hook really bothers me. To go along with that, these Thursday night games tend to be a little bit wonky. 
Props
Oronde Gadsen over 42.5 receiving yards (-114)
There’s so many good pass catchers on this offense, so it is hard to decide who will be the one that will be getting the most targets. When it comes to Gadsen, he is a guy that has gotten more and more looks each week. With how young and talented he is (along with the fact he is the tight end), I like for him to get at least five receptions for 50+ yards. 
Carson Wentz over 11.5 receiving yards (-114)
Wentz has hit this over in three straight games now. With how wild of a man he is at quarterback, I like this number being this low. He could easily get this done in two or three scrambles. 
Justin Herbert over 16.5 receiving yards (-114)
Until Omarion Hampton returns, the Chargers are seemingly just patching the run game together with a couple of backs and Justin Herbert. I am a bit nervous about this number, but Justin Herbert’s legs should be an important part of this game.
