The Colts are entering this game with a 2-2 record overall and they have a 1-1 record in their divisional games too. They are 0-2 in their home games, 2-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They lost their last game against the LA Rams in OT 29-23. Anthony Richardson was the starting QB and he completed 11/25 passes for 200 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Zack Moss led the team in rushing yards with 70. Andrew Ogletree led the receivers with 48 receiving yards on 3 receptions and 1 TD. Julius Brents led the defense in that game with 8 solo tackles and 1 assisted tackle while Dayo Odeyingbo led the defense in sacks with 1.5. Kenny Moore II came away with the only interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Colts listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Colts are 2-2 this season and they have looked a lot better than expected with their rookie QB Anthony Richardson. Both of their wins this season have been on the road though so they will be looking for their 1st home win of the season here. This is a divisional game with the Titans who are also 2-2 this year after blowing out the Bengals in their last game, but the Titans have won both of their games at home while looking like a completely different team in their 2 road losses. Their offense has been much worse in their road games and this Colts offense has been putting up a ton of points in their wins and their losses. The Colts have a lot of talented players surrounding their rookie QB and they will be able to make something happen in this home game against a divisional rival who hasn't looked good in their road games this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Colts to cover the spread in this game.

“No doubt we’re growing. I’m proud of our guys, the way we responded ... Fought through the noise and were able to come out, play well up front. Our guys up front did a good job in the run game and in the pass game creating some space for the running backs and then giving me some time.” - Ryan Tannehill after their win against the Bengals in their last game. 

“I was just telling the guys let’s just move the ball and focus on each and every play and try not to rush it. When we were in those last few minutes, partially it was on me, you know, just getting too excited, trying to go win the game. But you learn from it.” - Anthony Richardson after their loss against the Rams in their last game.
