The current betting odds have the Titans listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Titans just got their 1st win of the season over the raiders in a home game but now go on the road in this division battle. The Colts also got their 1st win of the season last week over the Chiefs at home and get to play at home for the 2nd straight week. The Colts won against the Chiefs last week but still didn't look good in that game. They never really had a lead until the end when they took the lead to win the game, and a big reason for that win was a lot of mistakes made by the Chiefs offense. The Titans beat the Raiders last week and almost let them back in the game near the end but they still controlled that game from the start. They are still the defending AFC South champions and they will play hard in this divisional game. Both of these teams have very strong running games and good defenses so this should be a close game the entire time and either team could win this game but it will likely be by no more than a field goal. The best way to place a bet here is on the Titans to cover the spread in this game.
