The Tennessee Titans (1-2) visit the Indianapolis Colts (1-1-1) Sunday in an AFC South clash. Kickoff from Lucas Oil Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Titans vs. Colts odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Titans come into this game off their 1st win of the season last week against the Las Vegas Raiders, 24-22. Tennessee hasn’t looked like the team we would normally expect it to, and in what many are calling the worst division in football, it’s yet to find its groove.
QB Ryan Tannehill has not looked very good at this point of the season, completing just 62.5% of his passes while only throwing 3 touchdowns to 3 interceptions. Many Titans fans are calling for rookie QB Malik Willis to be named the starter, but Tannehill hopes to prove them wrong this week.
The Colts also clinched their only win of the season last week in a huge 20-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Many are calling this a fluke game and the Colts look to get a huge divisional win and save their season before it’s too late.
QB Matt Ryan has not looked like his former MVP self at this point of the season. He is completing 64.1% of his passes and has only thrown 3 touchdowns so far, but has thrown 4 interceptions. Colts fans expected much more when signing Ryan after moving on from an underwhelming 2021 season with QB Carson Wentz.

Titans at Colts picks and predictions
Prediction
Titans 24, Colts 17
Moneyline
AVOID.
There is no clear favorite in a game like this and I would advise avoiding the money line. Both teams have injuries and neither team has lived up to their preseason expectations at this point of the season. Both offenses have looked mediocre and neither defense has looked impressive.
Against the spread
LEAN TITANS +3.5 (-110).
Odd makers have the Colts set as the favorite for this weekend because of their win last week vs. the Chiefs. However, I believe last week’s win was a fluke game.
The Colts offense has looked terrible at this point in the season, even being shutout by the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 2. They rank 32nd in points per game (13.3). Their defense has been mediocre and their offense has not looked good enough to beat the Titans by margin in my eyes.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 43.5 (-120).
In a game where the brightest spot for 2 struggling teams is the running backs, don’t expect a high-scoring finish. Neither QB has proven that they can put up points when needed in 2022, and neither defense looks terrible yet either.
Neither team has scored more than 22 points in a game this year, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that trend remains true this weekend. Besides the Titans’ Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills, neither team has let up an outrageous amount of points. I expect the under to be the safest play for this game.
