How it plays out

Indianapolis Colts vs Tennessee Titans is a AFC South rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Indianapolis Colts at 72% to Tennessee Titans's 28%, spread IND -3.

Tactically, Indianapolis Colts will want to lean on balanced attack to attack Tennessee Titans, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Tennessee Titans's disruptive DT could punish Indianapolis Colts if secondary goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Shane Steichen and Brian Callahan, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Michael Pittman Jr. (WR) and Cam Ward (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Colts get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
