AFC South division play gets going with Tennessee -5 opened -3.5 as it appears Wentz is most likely out with 2 sprained ankles. The total 48, money line -245 Titans, +205 Colts. The Colts have however won 8 of the last 9 times in Nashville. They come in 0-2 and before you think they have no chance with a backup in a big game, remember they went to KC and won a defensive game with Brissett a few years ago. Jacob Eason gets his first start here so while no one else really giving them a chance even their home town newspaper. However the line here is not indicating even the Colts as a major underdog at +205. They will have to get big plays on defense and special teams as they did last year in Nashville to have a chance and you would expect a change in play call to adjust for the QB change. The player expected to step up here is Taylor who comes in averaging 3.5 yard per carry, but if they fall behind we will see how much they are able to stick with the run.
The Colts defense has only allowed a 100 yard rusher three times since 2018, all three to Henry. Henry with 240 yards rushing and 74 receiving in the first two games. The Titans 19-0 when he touches the ball 24 or more times. Tannehill has 1692 yards, 8 TDs and 1 INT with a 101 passer rating in 7 games versus the Colts. His teams have however been 3-4 in those 7 games.
My prediction 26-13 Titans, and even with the under looking so enticing and a big under move beware the Titans are capable of putting up a real healthy part of 48 if they want to, and the Titans have a tendency to end up with games going over at least last year. I’m not sure if the twitter means they are playing in the Houston Oilers throwback?
