Colts at Titans Pick
The Sunday night battle this week in the NFL takes place at LP Field as the Tennessee Titans host the Indianapolis Colts at 8:20PM ET.
The Colts improved to 4-0 with a convincing 34-17 win over the Seahawks in Week 4. Peyton Manning threw for 353 yards on 31 of 41 passing and two touchdowns as Indy covered the spread as 12-point favorites.
The Titans fell to 0-4 on the year after losing to the Jaguars 37-17 as a 3-point favorite. Kerry Collins was picked off twice in the loss.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Colts 4-point road favorites over the Titans on Sunday night. The over/under total for this game has been set at 46.
The point spread seems a little low in this matchup, which always makes us leery. But the Titans have proven for three weeks now that they’re not the same team that started 10-0 last year, nor will they be.
Manning should absolutely terrorize one of the worst pass defenses in the league this weekend to get the Colts to 5-0 on the season. The Titans are going to have issues slowing down Reggie Wayne and the Colts no-huddle offense.
Tennessee has had issues converting on third downs and if they struggle once again on Sunday night in that area, the Colts are going to get up big in the first half and then cruise. We see a blow out for Indy.
