Vikings vs. Titans Odds
Game Preview
The Vikes have suffered a defeat at home to the Patriots, 20-12, showcasing that their backup QBs might be pretty thin. We haven’t seen anything from them against the solid Pats’ defense – 219 passing yards, no TD passes, and 2 picks.
It’s time to see McCarthy taking over from here and preparing for the regular season. That’s why we believe head coach Callahan will send his top QB on the field on Friday night.
Cam Ward struggles, and that’s nothing new. The No.1 pick from this year’s draft didn’t have too much time to show his worth, but for all he played, we can say that he still needs time to prove his reputation.
Though the Titans defeated the Falcons, 23-20, and that’s a good thing ahead of the last preseason test. We’ll see how they play this event, and that can tell us a lot about their current form.
Vikings vs. Titans Head to Head
The last game was in November 2024, when Minnesota won on the road, 23-13. In the all-time series, the Vikes lead 10-5.
Vikings vs. Titans Predictions
The Minnesota Vikings are a team with more stability, and if McCarthy plays, our money is on them to win this game. Titans are still searching for themselves, which is normal when you have a young QB who is, by the way, under massive pressure.
