Vikings vs Titans
The Tennessee Titans host the Minnesota Vikings in the battle of the back-ups. Vikings quarterback Gus Frerotte will make his second start of the season after leading Minnesota to a 20-10 win over Carolina. Tennessee will start Kerry Collins for the third straight week in place of Vince Young.

Odds makers are calling the Titans a 3 point favorite at home with the total set at 36.

At 1-2 the Vikings are trying to climb back into the NFC picture. They need to remind themselves that there are a lot of games left to play. The Vikings opened the season with loses to the Packers and the Colts. After a change at quarterback, they bounced back a week ago against the Panthers.

"I really don't have any idea how they're a 1-2 football team," said Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme after being
sacked five times by the Vikings.

The 15-year veteran, Frerotte, was 16-of-28 for 208 yards and a touchdown in his first start of 2008.

"He's been doing it so long that he just has a great way about him, a great confidence about him," said Vikings coach Brad Childress. "He enjoys it. You can tell that he still has a burning desire to compete."

The Titans are looking to keep rolling with Kerry Collins at the helm. Tennessee is off their best start in franchise history. The Titans have been doing it on defense. Through the first three games they lead the league in interceptions with seven; they lead the AFC with seven sacks and are the only team in the NFL that has allowed less than 10 points per game.

Minnesota's offense has its' work cut out for them against the Titans defense. Take Tennessee and give the 3 points at home.
