We'll take a look at player props for both quarterbacks on Thursday Night Football in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season

The 4-3 Los Angeles Chargers host the 3-3 Minnesota Vikings. Jim Harbaugh’s squad got off to a hot start, but has a -12 point differential through seven games. Meanwhile, Kevin O’Connell is +20 with JJ McCarthy and Carson Wentz under center.

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit took turns taking shots at Carson Wentz during the Vikings-Chargers game on Thursday.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell announced Tuesday that Wentz will make his fourth consecutive start for Thursday night's road game against the Los Angeles Chargers. O'Connell added that McCarthy isn't quite ready to go after putting him through an on-field workout earlier in the day.

As Carson Wentz stood at the podium on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Vikings’ quarterback shook his head as he went over some of his mistakes that cost Minnesota in the 28-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
