Colts vs Titans Prediction
This is the first time the Colts have been a double-digit favorite since January 9, 2022, a game they outright lost to the Jaguars. It’s also the first time this season the Titans have been a double-digit underdog. With that said, I’m laying the points with the Colts. The Titans are awful on both sides of the ball and 2-5 ATS on the season. The Colts are not only winning, but they’re 5-2 ATS on the season.
This Colts’ offense will have a field day against a bad Titans defense, while the Colts run defense will force Ward to make plays through the air. He hasn’t proven he can do that yet on the NFL level. Big line, but expect a blowout win from the Colts at home.
