Colts open as favorites to Titans ahead of Sunday matchup

The Tennessee Titans (6-5) are finally above .500 again and riding high on a two-game winning streak after recording a 42-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Now, the team faces yet another division rival in the Indianapolis Colts (6-5) this week — on the road this time.

Despite their 20-17 loss to the Houston Texans last Sunday, the Colts are still considered favorites over the Titans ahead of the upcoming matchup.

Bet MGM has the Titans listed as underdogs as by a point spread of (-2.5).

The last time the two teams faced each other, the Colts snatched a close victory, winning 19-17 in Nissan Stadium.

This was one of Marcus Mariota’s less productive games before the team finally made the switch to Ryan Tannehill at quarterback.

The former starter was 19-of-28 passing for 154 yards and one touchdown.

The Colts remain with the same starting quarterback they had in the previous matchup in Jacoby Brissett, who completed 17-of-28 passes for 146 yards with three touchdowns and one interception on the win.

It will be interesting to see how much success Brissett and the Colts have against this version of the Titans, and how much the change at signal-caller impacts Tennessee in the second clash of the year against Indianapolis.

The two teams are scheduled at noon CT on Sunday in Lucas Oil Stadium.
