The Vikings are favored by 6 points over the Titans (Vikings -6) with the game total set at 39.5. The Vikings are -250 moneyline favorites to win outright, while the Titans are +205 to pull off the upset.

The Vikings won 12-7 last week over the Jaguars. Minnesota has allowed 20 points over its last two wins, but the offense sputtered with three Sam Darnold interceptions last week. The Titans lost 27-17 to the Chargers in Week 10. Will Levis was efficient, completing 18-of-23 passes for 175 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Let's get into my Titans vs Vikings predictions and NFL picks.

Spread

This is a spot to back the Vikings.

I'm happy to lay the six points with Minnesota because this is a great matchup for its defense. Will Levis could be in for a long day against a blitz-heavy Vikings defense that has dominated throughout the season. Also, the Vikings offense gained more than 400 yards of offense but was held back last week by three interceptions.

I'm seeing this as a great spot to back the Vikings for a big win over the Titans.

Moneyline

I'll happily lay the points and avoid playing the moneyline with Minnesota.

Over/Under

I'm not betting the over/under on this game.

My Pick: Vikings -6 (-110)

Vikings vs. Titans NFL Week 11 Preview

The Titans have covered once this season, and it happened against a Tyler Huntley-led Dolphins team. Also, Will Levis left the game injured in the first quarter.

Here, you’re essentially laying a touchdown on Minnesota to walk right through a similarly underwhelming AFC South opponent from last week on the road. Last week, the offense struggled against the Jaguars. I don’t see that happening again.

Minnesota only scored 12 points but it gained 402 yards against the Jaguars and committed two turnovers, including an interception in the end zone and another inside the 30-yard line. The Vikings ended up settling for four field short field goals to put points on the board.

Aside from Christian Darrisaw’s season-ending injury, this offense is finally at full strength. Also, it’ll be another week with Cam Robinson in the fold at left tackle in Darrisaw’s place. I think we’ll see more involvement from T.J. Hockenson as he continues to build his role.

Sam Darnold is not going to commit three turnovers again. The Titans have some decent defensive metrics, but they’ve also given up 34 points to the Bills and 52 to the Lions (I’m aware there was some turnover and special-teams luck in the latter).

I’m not really scared of this matchup. There’s no one in the secondary I’m worried about the Vikings targeting, and the Titans are below average in pressure rate.

And then there’s the matchup of Brian Flores against Will Levis. The Vikings defense has eaten up opposing quarterbacks this season by blitzing at will.

Levis ranks dead last against the blitz among 39 qualified quarterbacks and last among 38 against pressure. His passing rating is 92.1 with a clean pocket and 47 when under pressure. Levis did some good things last week, but the Chargers are 31st in pressure rate and usually just drop back into coverage.

This Vikings defense will be relentless against Levis and bring more pressure than he can handle.

I like the Vikings up to -6.

My Pick: Vikings -6 (-110)
