Colts open as 4-point favorites vs. Titans in Week 12

The Indianapolis Colts (7-3) have a big game coming up in Week 12 when they host the Tennessee Titans (7-3) at Lucas Oil Stadium in a matchup that could very well determine the winner of the division.

These two teams faced off in primetime in Week 10 when the Colts defeated the Titans 34-17 at Nissan Stadium. It was a big win for them, which led them to beating the Packers as well in Week 11.

Now, the Colts open the week as four-point home favorites against their division foes, per BetMGM.

Both the Colts and the Titans sit atop the AFC South at 7-3. Because the Colts won the first matchup, they hold the tiebreaker entering this game. It is also the reason they are No. 4 seed in the AFC playoff picture following the Week 11 games.

The Colts will have to do a lot of the same things they did in Week 10 if they want another win. They have to control the line of scrimmage with the run game while forcing Ryan Tannehill to make decisions under pressure.

If the Colts can come out with a win, they likely control their own destiny. There are still some tough matchups awaiting Indy, but this is their chance to truly control their playoff spot down the stretch of the season.
