  • The Colts improved to 2-0 following a thrilling, 29-28 victory over the Broncos.
  • Tennessee improved marginally in their home defeat to the Rams, falling 33-19.
  • These two teams last met on December 22, in a game that the Colts won 38-30.

The Colts and Titans meet in an AFC South bout this week. Tennessee is taking small steps forward under rookie QB Cam Ward each week, while the Colts have been surprisingly good under new QB Daniel Jones.

Colts Finding Surprise Success

Fans in Indianapolis got to enjoy a back-and-forth thrilling victory in their game against the Broncos this week. In the “battle of Peyton Manning”, the Colts came out on top thanks to some of their best QB play in years, by none other than Daniel Jones. It was a full team effort, with RB Jonathan Taylor and rookie TE Tyler Warren coming up with some big plays, but Jones was consistent at the top. They’ll seek a 3-0 start.

Titans Continue Slow Rebuild

Tennessee looked marginally more competitive in their second game of the season, but ultimately lost once again. Rookie QB Cam Ward continued to flash the talent of the 1st-overall pick in the draft, but his subpar offensive line and receiving corps has made things more difficult. The offensive line has been particular bad, forcing Ward to scramble more than any other QB. They need to improve overall this week.

Colts vs Titans NFL Pick

It’s a bit surprising to see such a narrow spread for this game, despite the Colts having a lot of early success, and the Titans struggling to keep pace with other teams. The home field advantage is pulling a lot of weight for the Titans, but they are likely to struggle in this game. Keeping pace with a solid Indianapolis roster will prove to be too much of a test for Tennessee as they take more small steps forward this week.
