For the first time this season, the Titans are expected to come out on top. They will head out on the road to face off against the Indianapolis Colts at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Titans are hoping to put an end to a five-game streak of away losses.
Tennessee was not the first on the board last Sunday, but they got there more often. They came out on top against the Bengals by a score of 27-3 (the very same score they lost by the week prior). The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 24-3.
The Titans can attribute much of their success to Derrick Henry, who rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown while also completing a TD pass. That's the first time this season that Henry rushed for 100 or more yards.
Meanwhile, Indianapolis fought the good fight in their overtime contest against Los Angeles on Sunday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 29-23 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Rams. Indianapolis has struggled against Los Angeles recently, as Sunday's matchup was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Anthony Richardson put forth a good effort for the losing side as he threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 56 yards.
With Tennessee's victory and Indianapolis' defeat, both teams now sport identical 2-2 records.
The Colts are hoping to beat the odds on Sunday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. Anyone thinking of taking them against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last five times they've played the Titans.
Tennessee was able to grind out a solid win over Indianapolis when the teams last played last October, winning 19-10. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Titans since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
