Colts vs Titans Prediction

The current betting odds have the Titans listed as a 2 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Titans haven't looked great this season with their 4-7 record overall but they have looked a lot better in their home games all season with their 4-0 home record. They are coming off another win against the Panthers there in their last game and the team will have some momentum now with Will Levis getting another win under his belt. The Colts have looked good at times this season with their 6-5 record overall and they have even been a better road team this year with their 3-1 road record. The Colts looked good in their win at home against the Bucs last week but their defense has been very questionable at times with the yards and the points they have been giving up this season. The Titans are going to put up points at home where they have been playing a lot better all season and their defense has also been a lot better there. This is also a divisional game so the Titans are going to bring their best effort for this home game after getting the taste of winning back in their mouths last week. The best way to place a bet here is on the Titans to cover the spread in this game. 

Colts Titans Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, December 3, 2023 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Titans 20 Colts 17.

Notable Quotes


“I know we came out throwing it early there, and then settled into the run game. JT popped a few big ones, Zack popped a few. It was good. That one-two punch back there is awesome.” - Shane Steichen after his team’s win against the Bucs in their last game. 


“He wants to impact the game. I know that, and we want to let him. Proud of him, the career that he’s had thus far (with) 9,000 yards. You know (we) need 10,000.” - Mike Vrabel on Derrick Henry after his team’s win against the Panthers in their last game.
