Titans at Colts Betting Analysis
On the Titans side
Running back Derrick Henry might be the biggest and best player in the entire NFL as he has 191 rushes for 869 yards (4.6 yards per carry) with ten touchdowns on the ground, a five-yard touchdown pass, and 18 receptions for 154 yards (8.6 yards per catch) this season.
In his last game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Henry finished with 29 rushes for 86 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and two catches for 16 yards (8.0 yards per reception). If he can continue to have huge games, it will be a great spot for the Titans.
The Tennessee Titans are doing a pretty good job defensively this season as they are giving up 23.4 points per game. In their previous game against the Kansas City Chiefs, they allowed 334 total yards of offense (257 passing, 77 rushing).
They got some key stops in this game as the Chiefs finished 4-of-11 on third down and 2-of-3 on fourth down attempts. The Titans limited Mahomes’ impact as Tennessee gave up 4.7 passing yards per play. If they can stop an incredible offense, it will be hard to not picture that happening again.
On the Colts side
The Indianapolis Colts are getting the ball in the air, and it’s finding the hands of wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. On the season, he has recorded 35 receptions for 508 yards (14.5 yards per catch) and a pair of touchdowns.
In his last game against the San Francisco 49ers, Pittman finished with four catches on four targets for 105 yards (26.3 yards per reception) and a touchdown. If Pittman can continue to gain huge chunks of yardage, the Colts should be in a good spot.
The Indianapolis Colts are a pretty good defensive team this year as they are allowing 21.3 points per game. In their last game against the San Francisco 49ers, they gave up 18 points on 280 total yards of offense (169 passing, 111 rushing).
The Colts’ defense was incredible as they forced the 49ers to go just 1-of-11 on third-down attempts. They also were forcing mistakes as they were able to get four turnovers (two interceptions, two fumble recoveries) throughout the game. If the defense can continue to do these type of things, the Colts can be a threat in the division.
Titans at Colts Prediction
These franchises are some of the most evenly-matched games on the slate. Carson Wentz has been playing well as he has eight touchdowns to zero interceptions in his last four games.
Tennessee won the previous game 25-16, and it’s hard to sweep the season series. Derrick Henry struggled a bit last week, so that can be more of the same in this game as well.
The Colts are 14-6 against the spread in the previous 20 games against one another, so go with the Indianapolis Colts to cover the spread here.
