The Indianapolis Colts face off against the Tennessee Titans in a week 8 AFC South division matchup in NFL action from Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Tennessee Titans come into this game on the heels of a 27-3 beatdown win over the Kansas City Chiefs last time out. Ryan Tannehill has thrown for 1,737 yards, 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 65.1% passing while Derrick Henry leads the Titans in rushing with 869 yards and 10 touchdowns. A.J. Brown and Julio Jones are the two 300+ yard receivers for Tennessee so far this season while another five Titans have at least 100 receiving yards on the year. On defense, David Long Jr. leads Tennessee with 51 total tackles while Harold Landry III has a team-high 7.5 sacks.

The Indianapolis Colts will try to build off of their big 30-18 road win over San Francisco in their last game. Carson Wentz has thrown for 1,695 yards, 11 touchdowns and one interception on 64.4% passing while Jonathan Taylor leads the Colts with 579 rushing yards and 5 TDs. Michael Pittman Jr. leads the Colts with 35 catches for 508 receiving yards while Zack Pascal and the aforementioned Taylor each have 200+ receiving yards and another four Colts have 100+ receiving yards this season. On defense, Bobby Okereke has a team-high 51 total tackles while Darius Leonard has 45 total tackles with a pair of interceptions this season.

Tennessee is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 division games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 road games. Indianapolis is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 division games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog.

I get the case that could be made both ways here, but while the Colts could use the win to make up ground on the Titans, Tennessee is simply playing way too well here to pass up a coin flip line with. We hit on the Colts last week and Indy will have their chances down the road, but in this one, I have to side with Tennessee.
