Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer is 16-4 straight-up in preseason, winning their only other road game this August, 48-28, at Denver. The QB rotation is deep with Kirk Cousins, Kyle Sloter and Trevor Siemian, while the defense is strong with talent and depth. Last week QB Sloter was 11-of-15 with two TDs, no picks in a 21-20 win over Seattle. Tennessee is learning a new playbook under first-year coach Mike Vrabel. The results have been awful, winless through three games, getting outscored by a 25.5-12 average. They've been going easy on QB Marcus Mariota, coming back from a serious injury, and the most time this week will be for rookie QB Luke Falk. Falk has combined to go 19-of-34 for 182 yards, one TD, one pick, and three sacks, so back the best preseason team and coach the last five Augusts. Take Minnesota.
