Skol Squad: Vikings News and Links Celebrating a…

The journey this season has been exceptional. Most felt it was going to be a down year. The team felt otherwise and proved to all the non believers that there were, in fact, much better than what others thought. After this week against the Titans, the Vikings face the reeling Bears, “resurgent” Cardinals, pretty good Falcons, Bears again, and the Seahawks. A lot can happen in the next 6 weeks but if they go 4-2 they would be 11-4. That would be awesome! I do not want to predict the next siz weeks though. Just this week. I feel the team really needs to put together a good performance offensively and doing it against a tough Titans team would be great. The Titans will be without L’Jarius Sneed so maybe that means the receivers will be open. Their defensive line will present a tough test for the Vikings interior offensive line though. I still like the Vikings to win.

Will Ragatz: Vikings 20, Titans 13

Part of me feels like the Vikings are due to put together their first dominant four-quarter performance since Week 3 against the Texans. But while a blowout is certainly possible, the Titans’ stout defensive line and Sam Darnold’s recent turnover woes give me pause. I do think Brian Flores’ defense will have another big day with numerous sacks and turnovers against Will Levis and a poor Tennessee offense. On the other side of the ball, though, I’m not sure it’ll be as easy for Minnesota to move the ball up and down the field as it was last week. I’ll take the Vikings to win in somewhat ugly fashion again.

Joe Nelson: Vikings 34, Titans 13

The Titans are one of the worst teams in football in almost every key metric from Pro Football Focus. When they play good teams, they get destroyed. Just ask the Packers, Lions and Bills, who beat the Titans by a combined score of 116-34. The Vikings are in that upper echelon when Sam Darnold isn’t turning the ball over in the red zone. We should expected a more poised Darnold on Sunday, and therefore a Vikings blowout.
