Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts odds opened at Colts -7. The line has dropped to -6 at Sportsbetting.com. This game was actually getting even action for the most part but was among the most bet on after the Vikings vs. Cardinals Sunday Night showdown.
Since being named the starter in Week 8, Titans Quarterback Vince Young has led the Titans on a five-game winning streak. He has yet to face a team the caliber of the Colts over that stretch, however. How he plays against an Indianapolis defense that has held opposing quarterbacks to only a 76.5 passer rating (seventh-best in the league) could be a crucial factor in this game.
Last week, the Colts became the second team in NFL history to win 20 straight regular-season games. They are one shy of the Patriots' streak from 2006-08 for the longest in NFL history. Indy is the first team in NFL history with seven straight seasons with at least 11 wins. The Colts have won five straight games when trailing in the fourth quarter.
Tennessee has reason to think positive coming into this one. After an 0-6 start, the Titans are now among the hottest teams in the league and they have split this series over the last 6 games. That said, they lost the last two against Indianapolis by double digits. It should be noted, however, that last year's game probably didn't matter much to the Titans by season end and the other loss came earlier this season when Tennessee appeared to be a total wreck. A win here and the Titans are now at .500 and their chances look even better for a Playoff berth especially now that the AFC's early favorites (i.e. the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and even the New England Patriots) are looking a little bit shaky.
