  • The NFL preseason was not kind to the Minnesota Vikings, as starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non-contact injury in practice and will be sidelined for the year as a result. Such is life in the NFL these days. Minny begins life without Bridgewater when they take on the young Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Week 1 action.

    Shark Bites
    • The Titans are 1-12 SU in their last 13 games at home.
    • The Vikings are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games on the road.
    • The Vikings are 5-1 SU in their last six games after a loss.

    Regardless, the Vikes are still 2-point favorites at sportsbooks. The OVER/UNDER was sitting at 41 at the time of writing. In the wake of the Bridgewater news, Minnesota acquired signal-caller Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles to take his place. Bradford will not be ready in time for this weekend, however, so veteran QB Shaun Hill will be under center for the purple and gold.

    Led by promising sophomore Marcus Mariota, the Titans have a plan in place on offense. The two-headed monster of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry gives Tennessee a solid one-two punch in the backfield, and the receivers are more than capable. This team was 3-13 last year, which means they won’t be getting much respect from oddsmakers in the early part of the season.

    Totals bettors would be wise to examine how the Titans have done in this situation lately. In Tennessee’s last 11 games when facing a closing total of 41 points or less, the OVER is 8-3.
