Colts vs Titans Prediction
The current betting odds have the Colts listed as a 1 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Colts haven't looked great in their games this season with their 2-3 record overall, but they haven't looked that bad in their 3 losses. All 3 of their losses were within 6 points and even though they just gave the Jaguars their first win of the season in their last one, their offense still looked great with Flacco running it. Meanwhile, the Titans have looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-3 record overall. They are coming out of their bye week so they have had extra time to prepare for this game and they also picked up their first win of the season going into the bye week. They won against a banged up and struggling Dolphins team though, and Will Levis has been a big liability in this offense. The Titans are in the better situation here, being at home with the extra week to prepare, but their offense has still looked dysfunctional this season. That isn't going to be good with the Colts looking great on offense whether it be Flacco or Richardson in there. The Colts are a more stable team this season than the Titans and this is a big opportunity for the Colts to get back into the division race and be the team that challenges the Texans all year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Colts to cover the spread in this game.
