Tonight is a real doozey. The Vikings will head on the road to visit the Chargers. I’m sure plenty of Vikings fans will make the trip. And there will be plenty of seats available for them since the Chargers don’t have any fans. But why should you spend your Thursday night watching these two teams battle it out? Here are 10 reasons why.

10. See which team Carson Wentz throws touchdowns to.

Wentz is a sporadic player but he’s got a good arm and is going to throw some touchdowns. To which team? Only time will tell, but I’m betting both teams.

9. See who gets hurt for the Chargers.

Every week someone goes down. They’ve lost at least 3 linemen and 3 running backs and I believe some defensive guys too. I don’t know who will be next, but it will be someone.

8. See how many people are dressed up like Vikings.

Halloween is right around the corner. And Vikings fans love to dress up as Vikings all the time anyway. So see how many people dressed up like Vikings in the crowd you can see. Since it is a road game, I’m setting the over/under at 3.5 in case you want to play along.

7. Watch them show clips of Jim Harbaugh during warm ups as they talk about what a great coach he is.

Look at him. He’s catching a football. Now he’s throwing a football. Now he is pretending to block someone. He’s amazing.

6. See if 6-7 is referenced.

This is all the rage with the kids, according to my 16 year old son and especially my 13 year old daughter. They explained what it means. I still don’t understand it and I’m not sure they do either. But of course us adults can’t let them have their thing so I’m sure eventually enough adults will say it on tv that it will no longer be cool with middle schoolers.

5. See Kevin O’Connell stare up at the replay board dreaming of Sam Darnold.

Kevin can win with anyone, but it seems to be easier to win with someone not named Carson Wentz or JJ McCarthy.

4. Watch everyone gush over Justin Herbert.

The Sports media loves them some Herbert. You know what doesn’t love Herbert? The post season.

3. Watch Justin Jefferson do Justin Jefferson things.

Jefferson is real good. Pretty much every game he does something special.

2. Watch Kimani Vidal and Oronde Gadsen get shut down by the Vikings D.

I got both these guys starting on one of my fantasy teams so I only assume they will do poorly.

1. Watching two slightly above average football teams is more entertaining than anything else right now.

My wife often asks, what do you want to watch tonight. We literally just watch reruns of the office and football. So take a break from your office marathon and watch these two pretty injured teams battle it out.
