NFLX GAME OF THE WEEK
(NFL) Minnesota vs. Tennessee, 08/30/2018 4:00 PM, Score: 13 - 3
Money Line: 101.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
The Minnesota Vikings are 2-1 in preseason this year following a 21-20 victory at home against the Seattle Seahawks in the dress rehearsal. They're now a solid 16-4 in preseason games under head coach Mike Zimmer, and I expect an easy Vikings win here at Tennessee Thursday night.

The Tennessee Titans are 0-3 under new head coach Mike Vrabel who, while he no doubt will rest his starters here, will coach to win this game in order to avoid going into the regular season winless. Will it be enough to out-duel a seasoned coach like Zimmer though? I don't think so, especially with a banged up squad.

"My thoughts right now are just try to evaluate who is healthy, who will be available and then we'll make a decision later on in the week as to what we feel is best for the team," Vrabel said, "and just trying to evaluate where guys are health-wise."

The Titans are struggling to score points, just over 12 points per game in the preseason, and here they'll run into arguably the best defensive team in the league. Sure, Vikings won't play their starters in defense, but they still have a solid foundation.

10* NFLX Game of the Week: Minnesota Vikings.
