Tennessee at Indianapolis Game Preview
Why Tennessee Will Win
As always when it comes to playing Tennessee, can you stop the run?
Even teams that can hold up well – like Buffalo – get run over by the Derrick Henry machine. Yeah, Indianapolis isn’t too bad, it wasn’t even close in the 25-16 loss in Week 3 when the Titans rolled for 188 yards on the ground.
