Tennessee Titans vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction
Minnesota comes into this matchup with a 7-2 record on the season, but they struggled to get by the Colts and Jaguars in their last two games. The Vikings didn’t score a touchdown last week in Jacksonville and Darnold threw three interceptions. Tennessee only has two wins on the season and they have allowed at least 27 points in three of their last four games. The Titans have had a bad quarterback play this year from Levis and Rudolph, and I don’t see that changing against this Minnesota defense. The Vikings need to get back on track offensively and I think they will do that here. Take Minnesota on the road.
