NFL Colts stlye


The Titans are winning with their defense, which ranks 3rd in the NFL. The Titans are running the ball great and play a low risk passing game, which cuts down on turnovers. On defense it is not much better for the Colts, as they rank 16th but are especially weak against the run. That is not good as they visit Tennessee who rely on their rushing game for most of their offense. The Colts need to win this game, as if they do not they will be 3-4 and the Titans will be 7-0 and they are in the same division. For the Colts to win they have to protect Manning and get back some of the magic in their passing offense, which has disappeared for most of the year.

The Titans have the NFL's stingiest defense, allowing just 66 points through six games, and they rank third in the league in total defense, giving up just 268.5 yards per contest (179 through the air and 89.5 on the ground).


These division rivals split last year's meetings, with the visitor winning both contests and Tennessee going 2-0 ATS. In fact, the Titans have cashed in the last four battles with Indy after going 0-6 ATS in the previous six. Tony Dungy's Colts have won eight of the last 10 meetings SU, going 4-1 SU in the last five trips to Nashville.


The Colts are 7-6 SU and 4-9 ATS on the road in Monday Night Football, while Tennessee is 11-8 SU and 9-9-1 ATS at home on Mondays.

Indianapolis is just 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games against AFC South rivals, but otherwise the Colts are on ATS streaks of 7-1 in October, 5-0 on Mondays and 5-2 following a non-cover. Jeff Fischer's Titans are on ATS runs of 10-1 against the AFC South, 5-0 after a spread-cover, 6-0 after a straight-up win and 7-2 the last nine years in Week 8.

For the Colts, the over is 4-1 in their last five against AFC South competition and 5-2 in their last seven after a non-cover. For Tennessee, the over is on runs of 21-10-1 in October and 6-1 in Week 8, but the under is 6-2 in its last eight against the AFC. Also, the last six meetings in this rivalry have stayed under the total.

Finally, the over is 7-1 in Monday night games this season.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Colts hopefully snap out of their funk and play like the Colts of old in tonight's game.Hopefully Manning will put up big numbers, and they will knock the Titans off and hand them their first loss of the season.
But to be sure,I will take out an insurance policy (teaser) just to make sure!!

Wiz's play:
Colts+10/over 35.5 (tease)

GL mick. I keep waiting for the Colts to snap out of it too. The Titans haven't seen an offense like this yet this year but will the Colts play like they should?
