**Vikings at Titans** (+6, 39.5) 1:00 (1 Viewer)

Here we go with another home dog
Vikings are the better team
But will Sam keep it close?
If Darnold plays just a little bit better I think The Vikes win easily
If Darnold plays a lot better I think The Vikes win going away
If Darnold plays like he has the last few games The Vikes could be upset
I think he plays well enough
And The Vikings defense shows the way...

Minnestoa- 27
Tennessee- 13
 
The Titans pass defense was nicely built through free agency and then injuries happened and their draft and UDFA signings have really stepped up. None brighter than fifth rounder Brownlee. Charts on Twitter have him almost elite- doesn't really matter the metric.
The Vikings have the blue chips the thoroughbreds the fancy cliches or terms. None better than the prototype Justin Jefferson.
I can not wait to see Brownlee on Jefferson. If Brownlee does fairly well this could be the game he becomes a known commodity in the NFL and people start calling him the steal of the draft etc.
During this awful season Brownlee and some individual matchups give me hope.
LT JC Latham absolutely looks like the real deal. He'll lose a snap or two- he is a rookie- but he is so good it illustrates just how bad the Titans other tackle additions have been. Their OL is almost all former tackles.
RT has been a nightmare and Leroy "who" Watson has been pretty good. Recently John Ojukwu has been splitting snaps with Watson and I have longed for this for years. Why the NFL won't sub on the OL is beyond me.
Such is our luck, Watson is injured and now the Fantasy Life podcaster is back to starting. NPF is getting a twenty second chance and the Vikings will send so many players at him that they'll get penalties for guys rushing him from the sideline.
Brian Flores was seen rubbing his hands together and making a sinister laughing noise while preparing this week.
Levis may change his last name pronunciation to Leave-us after this game. While hearing the coach say 117 yards thru four quarters makes us warm n fuzzy, nothing is more reassuring than Levis having bad blocking while facing Flores.

The Titans coach likes Colt Anderson of Nashville. He's a small town bar singer that tours the country singing cover songs- no wait- he's their special teams coach. He's rumored to be wearing a Santa outfit this week. The Vikings will be like "it's November!" but once his unit allows 38 yards per return, they'll start hanging stockings from the mantle.

Once Sam Darnold was rumored to be the top 2025 free agent and headed to the Titans, he played like a Titans QB. This is the only hope the Titans have this week.

Tony Pollard is the guy we focus on when offenses aren't producing so he should do well.

The Titans traded for a great free agent addition because their ILBs were a bit slow. Did they keep him since he ran sideline to sideline and played so well? Of course not. They traded him for a coveted fourth round pick and a LB. Does the new LB play? Of course not. They did draft a LB, Gray, who many had as a steal during the draft. Does he play? Of course not. Their stud summer LB -James Williams- has he gotten a chance to see how he stacks up? Of course not.
Soooo teams pick on Jack Gibbens who does play. TJ Hockenson may have 23 catches today but don't worry, after every catch they'll say nice tackle by Gibbens.

Tvondre Sweat is the real deal, should have been a top five pick, how does he move so fast for a 360 pound man- but we can't have nice things so he's hit a rookie wall and plays about forty percent of the snaps. It's still fun to watch linemen try and move him even if he does look tired all the time. Next year, he'll be a menace but for now he's just ginormous and in the way. Still! Every week some RB runs into that human wall as if they had a chance in moving him and that's kind of fun for a play.

Bryce Oliver was a total surprise in camp and a gem of a WR but the Titans (foolishly) thought they were stacked. They made the kid earn his way into the field thru hard work on special teams. He got promoted from the PS and had a great week of ST play as a gunner and then the following week was not playing ST. This is what good teams do. Train guys and then don't play em there.
Late last week Oliver got some token snaps and initially he made a catch. Did the Titans pull the UDFA rookie WR when they went into hurry up mode and had to go the length of the field in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter? Of course not. Oliver made a nice catch between three defenders to keep the drive alive.
Good teams will capitalize on this and Oliver would get a lot of snaps this week but don't worry the Titans probably won't. Tyler Boyd will play most snaps, grab two catches, and the announcers will tell us how valuable he was over the years for the Bengals.

Rumor is if you pick the Titans to win that your browser will crash. Anything is possible though. Before ya pick the Titans to win, may I please suggest donating to a charity instead?
 
Will Levis vs a Brian Flores D seems not great for the Titans.

I think the Vikings offense bounces back in a big way. I think the usual suspects Jones, Jefferson, Hockenson all get theirs, in a blowout win.

Vikings 31
Titans 10
 
I see offsides and false starts on most every play. It's weird.

All these Levis runs are odd but at least he's not doing dopey stuff
 
I don't know that that's horse collar. He's diving out of bounds and his body is parallel to the ground. They usually almost sit and wrench the runner backwards
 
Ooh a big boy throw!

Meh next one gets batted by a future HOFer. Who would be aware of his presence?
