Week 8 Thursday Night Football Result Prediction

This game features two teams with similar records, rosters affected by injuries, and equally performing offenses and defenses. Picking a winner here is not so easy. That said, the Chargers have played better against good teams this season, and if not for all the injuries, they might have had a better record.

As for Minnesota, the team has struggled to win games against tougher opponents, while their wins have come against the Browns, a Bengals’ team without Joe Burrow, and a Bears’ team that hadn’t quite figured things out in week 1.

Week 8 TNF Kick-Off Time: 8:15 PM ET
Location: SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California

Our Prediction: Los Angeles Chargers to win.
