Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts Analysis
Undoubtedly, the Tennessee Titans want to use Derrick Henry to run the football all over opposing defenses. After just 163 yards in the first three games combined on the ground, Henry returned with 122 on 22 carries in the win over Cincinnati. That gives Ryan Tannehill more opportunities for open receivers downfield.
DeAndre Hopkins, with his NFL Player Stats, is the top receiver for Tennessee with 216 yards, but Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has been good with two touchdown receptions. The Titans rank 8th in team defense, allowing just 17.5 points per game.
Tennessee comes home after this game for a game against the Ravens, then their bye week before the Falcons come to town. Tennessee Titans predictions are more fun when Henry is running the ball well!
Colts’ Sunday Heartbreaker
Sunday is one that the Indianapolis Colts, despite coming from 15 back in the final quarter, feel they should have got. Rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson was strong in the game, as he threw for 200 yards in his return from missing Week 3 with a concussion.
Zack Moss is the Colts’ top running back. He carried the ball 18 times in the loss and has 66 carries and 280 yards on the season. His NFL MVP odds are slim.
The Colts, when looking at their NFL Team Stats, are scoring 24.3 points per game and allowing 24.8. The Colts throw for 206 yards per game while rushing for an additional 115.8.
The status of Jonathan Taylor is still in question. He has yet to play this season, and the Colts have not found a suitor for his trade request. Indianapolis will play back-to-back divisional games, as they are at Jacksonville in Week 6.
Titans vs. Colts Betting Picks
This should be a good National Football League game. These two teams know each other well and know a ton is on the line. Every game is a big one for the AFC South.
If the Titans can get and keep the running game going, the Colts will be in trouble. Indianapolis, while they have been able to run the ball effectively, cannot keep up with Derrick Henry if he gets going.
- Barring any late additions to the NFL injury report, our betting pick for this game on Sunday is the Tennessee Titans +1.5 on the road over the Indianapolis Colts.
Here are our Titans vs Colts betting picks for Week 5!
Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts Prediction
- Push comes to shove; our final score prediction for this game is the Tennessee Titans 27-24 over the Indianapolis Colts.
The games in the AFC South are usually tight, but a rookie quarterback in this game and a Titans defense that likes to shut down the run and force a quarterback to pass.
A pass goes away, and the Titans win this game. That is our final score prediction for the game on Sunday!
