NFL Picks Week 1: 5 Reasons Minnesota Vikings Can Upset Chargers

The Vikings will be playing a solid team in San Diego Changers at Qualcomm Stadium for their opening week. The big question facing the Vikings will be their offense. They are going to need key production from key players, Adrian Peterson, Donovan McNabb and Percy Harvin in order to have a chance against this strong team.
The Vikings will also need to put a lot of pressure on Charger quarterback Philip Rivers which will fall upon the shoulders of Jared Allen who is looking to make up for a shaky last season.  
San Diego is a slow starting team which could allow the Vikings to pull of an upset. They also may have an edge if the Chargers take the Vikings to lightly.
