The Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts will meet for the second time in four weeks in a crucial divisional matchup at Nissan Stadium in Nashville in Week 7.
The Titans are coming off three straight wins and their bye week, while the Colts are also entering with a head of steam thanks to a two-game win streak and their best offensive showing of 2022 in Week 6.
Tennessee currently holds the top spot in the AFC South and will secure the head-to-head tiebreaker over Indy with a win on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Colts can move into first place if they can pull off a victory.
The Titans have dominated the Colts in recent years, with four wins in the pair’s last four meetings, much to the chagrin of Colts owner Jim Irsay.
The Titans are favored going into this one, but where do the majority of experts from different media outlets stand on this contest?

Pete Prisco: Titans 28, Colts 20 – “The Titans, who are coming off a bye, beat the Colts three weeks ago. The Colts won a tough division game against the Jaguars last week, but now head off to face a team that powers the football against them with Derrick Henry. The Titans will do that again here to take a big hold on the division.”

Sporting News
Vinnie Iyer: Colts 24, Titans 23 – “The Colts got their offensive line playing at a high level last week to keep Matt Ryan clean to throw downfield and also spring Deon Jackson to a Jonathan Taylor-like game without Taylor. The Titans will keep running well with Derrick Henry, too, but Taylor’s likely return plus Matt Ryan staying sharper than Ryan Tannehill with better weapons makes the slight difference.”
Bill Bender: Colts 31, Titans 27 – “The Titans won the first meeting 24-17 and had a bye week to prepare for the rematch with their AFC South rivals. Matt Ryan is coming off a three-TD performance, and Deon Jackson took advantage of the spotlight. It’s a tough road assignment given Ryan has not played well on the road, but the Titans’ pass defense will leave a few holes.”

Gregg Rosenthal: Titans 23, Colts 20 – “The Colts didn’t score a touchdown for 110 minutes of game time, then scored four in five possessions against a good Jaguars defense. Was that a turning point for Indianapolis’ season or a brief flash of brilliance? Even though a season series split is typical for these rivals, I still like the Titans to sweep for three reasons: Their defensive line is better, their quarterback is better, and the big runs the Colts gave up last week are quite worrisome with Derrick Henry coming off a bye.”
